Zombies Attack George Bush
Joe Dante's brilliant anti-war horror show.
By Grady Hendrix

Just when things looked like they couldn't get any worse for President Bush, here come the zombies to vote him out of office. They arrive courtesy of Joe Dante's Homecoming, a one-hour movie made for Showtime's "Masters of Horror" series that airs tonight and tomorrow and will be rebroadcast throughout December. One part satire of soulless Beltway insiders, one part gut-crunching horror flick, Homecoming kicks off when the flag-draped coffins of soldiers killed in Iraq burst open and the reanimated corpses of dead veterans hit the streets, searching for polling places where they can pull the lever for "anyone who will end this evil war."

His characters seem like people we've just watched on MSNBC. There's David Murch, a political consultant for an unnamed Republican president who sounds exactly like President Bush. His new girlfriend, Jane Cleaver, is a bullying pundit cloned from Ann Coulter's DNA. There's also a James Carville look-alike and a Jerry Falwell doppelgänger, complete with quivering jowls. Dante delivers the thrill of watching familiar figures spin the issues and dole out doublespeak, yet he doesn't stint on the satisfaction of seeing them have their brains eaten afterwards. He's the first horror director to take the bits of media flotsam and jetsam that have been drifting around—the flag-draped coffins at Dover Air Force Base, the talking-head cable shows, the internment camps, the Ohio and Florida recounts, the "Mission Accomplished" banners—and make something electrifying out of them.

Horror is cheap and disposable. It has to figure out what scares you and throw it up on the screen (or down on the page) fast—there's no time to cover its tracks. But why all the zombies? Zombie movies have always been the richest in subtext, whether it's the cartoonish class warfare of Land of the Dead or the anti-Vietnam-war message of 1974's Deathdream. Today, zombies are the perfect metaphor for our soldiers in Iraq: They're shell-shocked, anonymous, and aren't asked to make very many decisions. Unless you personally know a soldier, the war in Iraq has been a zombie war, fought by an uncomplaining, faceless mass wrapped in desert camo and called "our boys." We talk about them all the time—supporting them, criticizing them, speaking for them—but we don't really have a clue as to what's on their minds. They often seem like disposable units sent to enforce the will of our country. But what if they come back and they're different? What if they come back and don't want to follow orders anymore?

What's shocking about Dante's Homecoming is that he dispenses with the usual horror subtext completely. Pundits go on TV to defend the living dead's right to vote until they find out they're not voting Republican. Zombies rise from the grave, wrapped in the American flag. There's even a Cindy Sheehan stand-in with a zombie son. Nothing is too recent or too raw. Dante has always had an ax to grind—his film Small Soldiers was an anti-violence carnival of killer toys and even the lovable Gremlins had an anti-consumption message. But Homecoming is on another level of guilty pleasures, a junk-food adrenaline rush that debunks the myth of glorious war, presenting every ugly wound in gory latex detail, while having nothing but compassion for the lonely, lurching, living-dead soldiers.

Look for it on Showtime. It will be playing several times in December.

What is really sad is that right NOW, even as you are reading this, counties all over the USA are choosing electronic voting machines to comply with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA).

Many of the counties don't want to change their voting systems, but the feds say they have to meet HAVA's regulations. Many counties are grabbing just about any crappy computerized vote-eating machine they can get their hands on, thinking that this will allow compliance with HAVA. And yes, these are vote eaters because many of these machines have NO voter-verified paper record or ballot and thus with NO way to ever recount or audit to be sure that all votes are being counted correctly (or even at all!)

The horrible upshot of all this is that if votes are not counted accurately, there will be no sure way to get rid of jerks like ** who start worthless wars.

What can you do?

There is STILL TIME to make a difference. For one thing, support HR 550 in Congress to require all voting systems to have voter verified paper records and routine audits. Make one CLICK HERE to send a message to your Congressperson: http://www.congressweb.com/cweb4/index.cfm?orgcode=VTUSA&hotissue=1

If you happen to be in Pennsylvania, support our state bills to require voter verified paper records here: http://www.congressweb.com/cweb4/index.cfm?orgcode=VTUSA&hotissue=2

And visit http://www.votePA.us to learn more - we are working on Pennsylvania counties right down to the wire to make sure they make the best choice for these voting machines -- and if county officials make a bad one we will hold their feet to the fire afterward.

Let everyone from Bush to your county election board know that we are not zombies -- WE ARE PAYING ATTENTION AND WE ARE WATCHING!

I was disappointed that the death of the Ann Coulter character wasn't more violent and gruesome. However I did find the death of the Karl Rove character to be satisfying.
:headbang:

When the zombies first show up & he thinks they will side with the President he talks about it being "a sign from God" & "a miracle". Then when he finds out they are voting against the President it's "the bowels of hell have opened".

Is Bush's legacy!

El Coca Loco,(the pRezz)brought the neozombies(the pox)to Washington with him in 2000. "Y-E-S * M-A-S-T-E-R", is the standard response uttered by any of your typical, every day, garden variety, neoZombie repubs,(the pubs)... We,(you and I)all know now that a, torpid, old fashioned, down home, Turdblossom,('Official A')really rules the roost at the White House,(the crime scene). I believe, that Bush is nothing but a super-Rovebot movie/PR prop, cranked up to 78 speed on cocaine, booze, cash money and a stampeding super-ego the size of Tax-us...

I think KKKarl,('Official A')secretly pulls the G strings and the Haw strings, on the pResiborg of the United States,(the dummy)and I defy someone, anyone, to convince me otherwise. The Pubbies,(The zombies)scream in pre-arranged TV like unison, every day, in Washington, "You Wanna' Politicize the Issue!!!!!!!11!1!!1 KKKarlco('Official A')productions, has politicized every single issue raised in Washington, since the Torpid Top Turdblossom,('Official A')arrived at the White House in Dumbya's BAGGAGE in 2000, much like your, ordinary, Rose Garden variety, common, everyday, Texas Sized, Cockroach arrives.

Maybe that's why Tubby Tommy,(the perp)took an unusually keen liking, right off, to KKKarl-R-Turdblossom,('Official A') because of, DeLay's(the perp)vast experience, that he'd brought to Washington when he slithered in, mainly consisted of, hammering Cockroaches and the like, 24/7, so those two, Tommy(the perp)and KKKarl('Official A'),just naturally jelled.

Just SO MANY, GOPer Cockroaches,(the Pimps)running freely on the loose in old DC town and the Hammer(the perp)has landed SLAM IN THE MIDDLE OF A BIG NEST OF THEM, on the GOP(the rats)side of the House. Tom(the perp)isn't a very good BUGMAN,(the perp)because, since he(the perp)came to town, the neoroches,(the guilty)have totally infested the House, the Supreme Court, the Pentagon and they've now even carried off the US Senate.

The "MORALITY-R-Us" Party,(the GOP)is sucking the hind tit now, when it comes to restoring any honor, or dignitude, ANYWHERE, on the planet. Scandal after scandal, after scandal, has now come out of the woodwork and it's taking a toll on the mesmerizing mirage of "MORALITY," that KKKarl('Official A')has painfully produced and directed so craftily, during, Prince George The Awful's,(the awol)reign of total partisan Bullshit.("you're either with us...blaaa, blaaa, blaaaaaaaaaa.")

The "quivering jowls" of justice, just one great day soon, might slam shut on the @$$es of the Zombies and the bloodsuckers in the GOP(the thieves). If everything shady that these Zombies in the GOP(the liars)have pulled off so far, comes back and bites them on the @$$es, they will need a party-wide poultice, the size of Ann Coulter's mouth,(the pits)with which to lick and heal their sucking butt wounds!

We could cut the budget if we sent the Bugman(the perp)and his neoaccomplices(the punks)to Alcatraz, I hear it's empty. 'The Bugman(the perp)of Alcatraz', would make a dandy XXX-rated movie, that maybe KKKarl("offical A")could use for a GOP Fundraiser/Money Laundering tool!

SEE..."The Bugman(the perp)of Alcatraz. "XXX rated, UGLY, BAD LANGUAGE, IMMORALITY and MORE BULLSHIT,(the crap)...

and I look forward to seeing the fashion show.

And it couldn't happen too soon for me!

I'm a squeamish type, though, so doubt I could actually watch it, even if I were a TV consumer.
