ZOMBIE WARS!
By Neil Wright
Prophet and Leader of the Warriors of the Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse

The true millennium is upon us, and the zombies' vanguard against humanity has commenced its final nightmarish phase. As it was foretold, mankind has fallen under the weight of the dead. Our desperate attempts to stall this menace have failed. Possibly you remember the beginning of the Zombie Nightmare as it was called in its earliest days. It began in 1997 when Disney opened a major store in Times Square in New York City, upsetting the balance of power between smut and cuteness, and thus fulfilling a prophecy that the WIZAP have awaited since the age of New Wave pop music.

As prophesied in the Age of Great Mediocrity: The Mouse from Florida who hath replaced religion and established the new morality will venture into the darkland of the York of New. From the Square of Time the Mouse will unleash the forces of evil and sell many cheap wares made from the blood of slave labor across the oceans, where monsters dwell. Only the children who hath plenty will be able to afford these baubles. And lo, a plague shall be unleashed on Man, created from the saccharine sweetness of the Mouse. The balance between good and evil will be rent asunder. Men will no longer hunger for the savory taste of Rally's, or all-you-can-eat ribs at The Sizzler. They will seek succor in porn on, but they will not find it, for the Mouse hath banished it. Behold, Man shall rise from death and feast upon Man, until Man is no more. Only the few worthy of finding the Promised Land will survive. And unto this will come the prophet and leader of the Warriors of the Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse; destined to wear the tin foil crown of Meijer upon a troubled brow!

Words as true today as when they were written.

Further evidence that the zombies have escalated their assault is clear. The second fall of the South in the spring of this year was the final domino to tumble. While it enacted sweeping legislation that led to the disavowal of the states, a mere secession from the union did not prevent the conquering dead from spreading. Originally believed to be as intelligent as the "human" southerners, the zombies have destroyed that theory by showing evidence of thought. Examples consist of zombies uttering polysyllabic phrases (i.e. "Urrrr-uuuhhh-ggzzzz"), and drooling over food rather than just plain drooling. The "Good Riddance" policy toward the South (which included the attempt to give Florida back to the Spaniards), as pleasant as it may seem, has not slowed their advance. Now there is a greater threat to humanity, for a collaborator with the mindless, hungry dead has arisen.

During Al Gore's apparent concession speech on December 13th, the Vice President revealed his true nature as a zombie collaborator when he pressed a button on his podium that released a battalion of flesh eaters upon the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. The fates of the nine justices have yet to be determined, but Gore has not been officially charged for his collusion with the dead. The motive for the terrorist attack has yet to be determined, but Gore was visibly disappointed when, earlier in the week, the high court stated that slobbered chads from the dead could not be entered in the official election ballot counts.

George W. Bush has been unavailable for comment since Monday, December 11th when his compound in the former state of Texas was surrounded by executed criminals. At last sighting, Bush was waving a bottle of Jack Daniels and appeared to have eaten a large quantity of powdered doughnuts.

When humans collaborate with the dead, there is only one choice to make and you are thankful that it is so clear! Now is the time to rally the warriors and make our trek to the Promised Land. A place that will provide shelter from the coming storm of putrescence. A place that will provide us with all that we will need to survive until the time of exodus to the freshwater islands in the Great Lakes. I call upon the troops to raid gun stores and begin the journey to Meijer: last bastion of humanity, and the final line of defense against the living dead.
