It's "Zombie Preparedness Month" in Kansas

“If you’re prepared for zombies, you’re prepared for anything” is the theme behind the zombie apocalypse preparedness campaign.

We discovered this interesting fact while reading Bud Norman's great blog.  He also notes that with the introduction of the Ebola virus into the US:

The extraordinary amount of press coverage devoted to the disease has already revealed several instances where themost up-to-date protocols for dealing with the disease with have not been followed, including an unpleasant account theinfected patient’s vomit being cleaned off a sidewalk by power hoses that no doubt sent dangerous bacteria flying off into the atmosphere, and one shudders to think what mistakes might come next. So far as we can tell the government decided not restrict flights from infected countries partly because that had been a Bush administration idea, and partly because it was thought that discriminating on the basis of a deadly disease might offend African sensibilities. Such pointless political considerations are likely to override medical necessity again in the coming days, if the government’s recent history of border security and presidential security are any guide, it does not inspire confidence.

Also that it's all the fault of white people out to kill black people.  Black Leader "Calypso" Louis Farrakhan is telling Obama voters that this nefarious plot was .. well, you can read it here:

The situation has already prompted the survivalists to take precautions beyond their usual paranoid preparedness, and the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan is predictably blaming it all on a white supremacist conspiracy to kill black people which is currently being carried out by the first black president, although it was apparently launched at some nonexistent point in history when Henry Kissinger was serving as Secretary of State to President George H.W. Bush, but we’re remaining relatively calm. We’re counting on those reportedly low transmissions rates, though, and not the government. There have been strange accounts of Ebola victims awakening from the dead, and we note proudly that this is  “Zombie Apocalypse Preparedness Month” here in Kansas, but otherwise the government doesn't seem ready for the coming challenges.

The Keystone Cops are running America, or could it be "Evil Clowns?"
