re: #30 theheat

I can’t even admit in public how much a member of my own family has bought into this. (I just did, though.) It’s Glenn Beck and Fox News day in and day out. Last time, I was warned I better buy more guns, for when the commies come for me.

Not even a joke. That was a warning, out of love.

I was so floored I said, “When the zombies come for me? WTF is that about? You know there’s no such thing as zombies.”

“COMMIES!”

“Zombies?”

“Did you not hear me?”

“Guess not. But I’m not afraid of zombies.”

First of all, epic win for the zombies. Love it. Secondly, I’m in your boat. My in-laws are firmly persuaded that Obama is going to bring about the end of the world. Even my own parents, who are generally more rational, looked at me as if I’d grown a second head when I told them that I didn’t think the President was a complete failure. (I don’t like his domestic policies, sure, but he’s been okay on Israel specifically and on foreign relations in general of late.)
