Where's Buffy when you need her?

The election on November 2nd saw a record increase for a previously under represented demographic, the undead. Vitality-challenged citizens turned out in unprecedented numbers--over 60, 000 in Florida alone. Way to go, Undead Folks! You rock . . . and roll, too, I imagine.

Woot! Go, hordes, go! My money says they were inspired by Their Man Cheney. Gotta stick together, ya know.

This kind of puts a new spin on those reports of the long, slow-moving lines winding out of polling places in major areas, causing many to have to wait for hours after the polls were scheduled to close or else to be turned away without getting to place their vote. Shambling is not a particularly spritely gait.

(I love how this sort of thing can be cheerily termed "a glitch." )

Yes, he does indeed help mobilize the Dead Again contingent.

No, shambling takes time, but if you ask Undead Americans to wait ten hours, you never hear them making wussy complains like having to go to the bathroom, or change the babies diapers, or get back to work because they're working for minimum wage and overtime doesn't even cover their bills. Dead Again Americans never complain--a truly admirable thing. If only more Americans were dead . . . oh wait! Bush is working on that, isn't he?

The voting dead: They voted for Bush because they ate their own brains.

True, but that's not a characteristic that necessarily distinguishes this demographic from the live constituency that voted for Bush.
