ZOMBIES PROTEST in Madison - "Workers Who Support Walker are like Chickens who Support Col. Sanders"

LOL! I think that one liner may be all the retort I need when dealing with my RW relatives!

Saturday afternoon - April 2...A shuffling, groaning army of zombies lurched up State Street, carrying anti-Walker signs and lamenting the lack of brains -- their favorite food -- at the Republican-dominated Wisconsin Capitol.

Organized on Facebook, the Zombie Walk Against Gov. Walker brought out hundreds of undead with bloody faces, stringy hair, and a commitment to collective bargaining rights. They didn't scare many people as they staggered up State Street, obeying traffic lights and occasionally breaking character to smile at the cheering onlookers.

A Sampling of the protest signs:

"I Ate Walker's Brain and I'm Still Hungry!"

"Ghouls for Schools: Educated Brains Taste Better!"

"zombie slob against walker"

"this zombie will starve - there are no brains in the capitol"

"Unions Keep Firefighters Undead"

"Kill the Bill or Zombies Will!"

The best line of the afternoon came from a guy with a ghoulish head sprouting out of each shoulder. As he passed mayoral candidate Paul Soglin, the three-headed thing shouted:

"Three votes for Soglin!"

So what do zombies have to do with collective bargaining? "This keeps the pressure on while keeping everybody smiling at the same time," Madison's Travid Reeter said. "It puts lightheartedness into a serious situation."

One of the people smiling was Capt. Carl Gloede of the Capitol Police, who seemed to greatly enjoy the gory spectacle. "It's another unique Saturday afternoon," he said.

Capt. Gloede affirmed that the zombies had a permit to march and were being very cooperative. But don't be fooled -- this undead legion truly is out for blood, at least in the upcoming election. As one sign put it:

"Come Alive April 5!"
