The Zombie Overlord

Volpe got about 5% of the votes in this weekend's Liberal leadership race. That's a lot of dead people.

I don't know why people insist on reacting with such reflexive bigotry toward the metabolically challenged. Consider the stereotypes:

• Dead people smell bad.
  
• Dead people don't contribute to society.
  
• Dead people are much more likely to be involved in zombie- or vampire-related violent crime.
  
• Dead people are unable to relate to changes in modern Canadian culture.
  
• Dead people from both official language communities are much less likely to be able to speak the other official language.
  

But consider this: deceased-Canadians are Canada's fastest growing demographic group, and their numbers keep swelling. They're also very loyal voters -- dead voters are unlikely to cross the aisle and vote Conservative. And they can be important political allies: south of the 49th parallel, it was the endorsement of the League of Dead Voters that kept the Dailey Administration in power in Chicago for so long, and delivered Florida and Ohio to the Republicans in recent elections.

So let's move past our dark history of discrimination against the differently animated, and stop disenfranchising Canadian voters just because they choose to live under the soil. Kudos to Joe Volpe for his innovative methods of mobilizing the Liberal electorate!

Have you seen the sketch in the Kentucky Fried Movie "United Appeal for the Dead?" Kinda in this same vein. (Not the artery, but the vein.)
