Good News Everyone...Feds vs.Zombies:CDC officially denies Zombie Apocalypse
RT ^ | 6/2/2012 | RT

"The Government has officially denied that there is any Zombie outbreak..."


The US Center for Disease Control has been forced to address the American public in the wake of internet rumors of a possible ‘zombie apocalypse”.

It’s hard to say which is more ‘out there’: that people believe there might be a virus that reanimates dead people, or that a federal agency actually weighed in on the issue in earnest.

The CDC has previously run a few tongue-in-cheek campaigns about zombies, using the popular theme to get the public prepared for “anything”. As the agency’s director says, “if you are generally well equipped to deal with a zombie apocalypse, you will be prepared for a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake, or terrorist attack".

But it’s now found itself in an unusual spot: having to treat the matter seriously. CDC spokesman David Daigle said the agency “does not know of a virus or condition that would reanimate the dead (or one that would present zombie-like symptoms)”.

You gotta like that Bob Hope...a man before his time. I’d say DIMocRATs.

Laudable thinking.
Rice and flour are cheap. $17 for 50 pounds at Costco.
Cooking pots are $1 at various “dollar stores”.
Matches are cheap on bulk packs of small boxes.
Bottled water (half liter or one gallon) can be cheap if you look.
Plastic bags are almost free.
You can make up little charity kits for a couple bucks each. It’s something to give the desperate, while not impacting care of your own.

If you are a Christian you have a clear answer. Prepare the best you can and pray unceasingly. Trust God to do the rest

I haven’t yet thought of a strategy for how I could provide for my family’s well being and still live up to the virtues of my Christian faith.

Teach enough people to prepare in advance and you can preempt the starving crowds.

The Mormons can give you a lot of useful information and tips on how to do this...

Don't laugh... November 6th is their big "coming out" day (Zombies AND stupid people... the only question is how much overlap).

Why do you think Holder is trying to keep Florida from removing dead voters from their rolls?

Oh, sure, believe the government that Zombies aren’t on the loose? Go ahead, believe the government and get your brains/face eaten.

Still think broccoli outside would keep them away.

Having given it some thought. I'd rather have zombies than a congress.

That's my final answer.

You’re right. Zombies are more dependable - we know how they operate. If Zombies attacked congress, they would still be hungry because there aren’t many brains there - it’s mostly empty space in those heads.

Thanks for thinking that long about this problem - I like you, Johnny, you’re a special case. Would like to have had you for a patient (I dealt with mental disorders).

I'll take that as a compliment, regardless of how you meant it.

On the far side... after it's all over but the yelling.... the ones that survived are the sane ones.
