Getting to the bottom of the 2012 nonsense

I have been avoiding writing about this topic, simply because of the egregious amount of bat-guano crazy it brings out. The good news is, one of the most trusted news sources on the tubes, Cracked Magazine, has put together what I consider to be the ultimate treatise on the subject and the REAL reasons we should be freaked out about 2012. It can be summed up in two words: Space Bear. I highly encourage you to read it, learn it, love it, retweet it, buy it flowers, take it out for a nice night on the town, and then, tell any lunatics you know they should read it too. And frankly, the only person whom I would believe the end of the world is coming is this guy.

Zombies and Health Care Protestors on Hollywood Blvd

True story. So last night, as I am driving down Hollywood Blvd., I saw not one, but two curious sights. First was the Zombie Walk celebrating the release of "Zombieland". Cool. Hundreds of people in zombie make up lumbering down the street. Then, on the opposite side of Hollywood, was a health care protest. A rather smaller group of people who just don't get it, but still, enough to fill the corner of Hollywood and Highland. Then it gets weird.

A rather old looking hippie type was on the side of the street where the zombies were, instead of with his cohorts. Well, one rather enterprising zombie decided to take this protester's sign and tear it up. Well, I mean, he was obviously a victim of health care right? Being a zombie and all. Well, Mr. Hippie didn't care for this and started to get all up in the decaying grill of the zombie. That is when a group of zombies began surrounding the hippie. Well, he made a hasty retreat away from the undead to say the least.

This inspired me. I rolled down my window, and when the light turned green and I drove past the protesters, I screamed as loud as I could at them: "Don't worry about health care! Worry about the zombies!". I laughed. Very hard. :)
