      Thanks, WSJ Super Action Team, for separating fact from fiction by explaining that there's no difference between fact & fiction.

      So, Palin is right. She made a reference to something completely fictional, but she's still right because there may be some other things to be concerned about.

      I don't want to be subject to the Wall Street Journal's flesh-eating zombies coming into my home in the middle of the night, scooping my brain out and eating it. And I'm right, because I'm almost due for an oil change.

      I also like the very slender question mark in the " Will plan ration care for the elderly" caption. I'm sure Fox was just out of space, but it sure looks like an exclamation point.

        While I agree with your intent Colonel, I have to disagree most strenuously about the zombie nonsense.

        Aren't you doing the same thing that Palin did?

        You made the statement that the WSJ zombies will come into your home and eat your brains. Some will say that the zombie diet consists of just brains, thanks to "the Return of the Living Dead". Everyone agrees that zombies will eat any flesh, not just brains. The Romero/Boyle zombies are a more acurate depiction of true zombie behavior. The experts have concluded this to be true.

          I think you're parsing here, Worrierking. While I did specifically mention brains, I didn't exclude the eating of other body parts, and I earlier referred to them clearly as " flesh-eating zombies".

          Your attempts to discredit my expertise in Zombology are laughable, and a transparent attempt to distract from the very real fears I (and every American should) have regarding the WSJ zombies. I notice you didn't even attempt to address my logic in proving that the zombies are real, and I'm right.

            Sorry, I never meant to minimize your fear of zombies. I may have misread your post. And if my insights on zombie behavior may have offended some, then I'm sorry the offended party took offense to my otherwise brilliant non-offensive missive.

              You've got to read the Zombie Survival Guide. I mean, it's not a book the government wants you to know about, but everyone should read it.

                I've got my machete by my side at all times. I see you're prepared down south and we're ready in the north east is as well.

                I hope the Colonel understands he'll need more than a sharp wit to survive. Those Californians need to take this more seriously.

                It's a great read with some very important tips. As is "World War Z: An oral history of the Zombie War".

                  You show your ignorance by brandishing only a machete! That worked on Jason, but in all the zombie movies I saw, they needed guns -- and had to shoot the zombies in the forehead. And I'm sure that in this day and age, with zombies getting bigger, stronger and faster -- you probably need an assault rifle. So, thank God for the NRA! Heston's cold, dead hand speech now takes on new meaning with this WSJ zombie problem!

              In the 1000 unread pages of the health care bill, it clearly states that all flesh-eating zombies who are illegal aliens will get health care for free.

              ...But Sarah already knows that.

        Hi Col, notice how squirmy and shifty eyed Rago gets trying to justify the negativity of the health care reform? Some of these guys like him can barely look the host in the eye. BTW I called him a shifty eyed squirm (added mer on to that) and was accused of using profanity. Go figure, squirm, squirmy etc. are not profanity but if you add mer to it it is. Wow. I have a filthy mouth, I guess.

          The Cybernanny is a strange bird, Robyn. Worrierking once said he was unable to include "Richard Simmons" in his comment, and if you're going to mention that somebody was "tough on " somebody else, don't try to substitute "hard" for "tough".

          I also found out the word for a collection of weapons or a certain London-based soccer team was considered profanity,because they contain the British pronunciation of "ass", but "ass" is perfectly acceptable.

            I was really angry about something the other day and wrote this long, hate filled post (I must have been responding to something some old person did) and I couldn't remember whether we could say we were pi$$ed off or not so I went for it only to have the net nanny tell me to watch my language.

            I know I was able to get it through once before.

              I've got in the habit of copying long posts before i hit "save", just because of that. It used to let you go back a screen, now it just deletes the whole thing.

              And I know this is a rough time for hateful ageists. So close to having the granny-snuffing provision in the "health care" bill, and the savvy patriots caught us!

                I really don't care when I'm being silly or sarcastic but a few times when I thought I was being really thoughtful and had researched the topic, my post got snuffed and I never did figure out why.

      No.

      Palin lied, and made things up. And gosh darn it, why doesn't she respect the troops and stop making things up!

      Obama, didn't make things up.

      Obama was right.
      Palin was wrong.

      It's really not that hard to understand. Is it? Apparently it is.

      Something tells me that we will be hearing a lot more of these kinds of things from palin. I think that it's not to unbelievable to think that she was recruited by the big insurance folks to go out and scare people. Someone is flying her all over the place and preparing her speeches for her.
