I’ve devised a plan for getting famous, and it’s pretty simple.

First, I’ll gather all the ultra-right-wing photo memes I can find.  I’ll scour the Internet for any kind of knee-jerk anti-liberal/Democrat cartoon or “humorous” photo with text.  I won’t care if they’re accurate or not, or how horrible the grammar and spelling are, as long as they appeal to a very base-level mentality.  Christian dogma will be included.  Oh yeah, and lots of pro-gun and pro-military stuff.

I’ll then collect links to every conservative site I can find.  There’ll be the obvious ones, like Fox News, Breitbart, and Drudge, but anyone’s welcome.  Again, accuracy is optional.  Bashing of minorities and the poor will get top priority.

Then I’ll create a Facebook page and a Twitter account with a snappy, snarky anti-lib title.  “Libs Are Idiots and They Vote” or “How Many Dems Does It Take To Screw Up A Country” come to mind, if they aren’t already taken (I’ll work on this).

Then I’ll start posting and tweeting several of the photos and cartoons and biased story links every day.  I’ll add comments like “WTF??  Can you believe this??!!!” and “This is so true!!!” and “This is just like those idiot libs!!!”

Soon I’ll get 1,000 “likes.”  Then 5,000, then 10,000.  Word will spread and I’ll get a bunch of “shares.”  I’ll get thousands of retweets.  I’ll keep it simple and brainless and flag-waving, and blindly crap on any liberal naysayers.  Before you know it, I’ll have 500,000 “likes” and at least as many Twitter followers.

From there on out it’ll be a cakewalk.  I’ll be on TV talk shows and radio shows and podcasts and get to hang out Glenn Beck and Ted Nugent and Patricia Heaton and maybe even Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin.

And that’s how I’ll use social media to ride a wave of ignorance and hatred straight to the top.  I’m gunnin’ for ya, Hannity and Limbaugh.  God Bless America!!!!

I don’t use Twitter too often and don’t follow too many people, but some of the actors and comedians (especially Patton Oswalt) were quite funny last night.

Each U.S. election year, millions of dead people vote (such voting is especially popular in the Chicago area).  Since these voters are presumably freshly-risen zombies, here are some undead voting tips and guidelines:

 

Registration

All voters are required to register.  Shamble out of the grave at least a month before the election and go to your town’s city hall.  If you were buried with your wallet, show them your identification and fill out the paperwork.  If not, explain that your ID was stolen by a zombie.  This will distract from the fact that YOU’RE a zombie (it helps if the registrar is also a zombie).  If the registrar says you’re dead, loudly argue that you’re a taxpayer and this is an outrage.  Make a scene until he/she freaks out and gives you the go-ahead.

You can then shuffle back to your eternal resting place to chill until Election Day.  Or you can hang out at a mall — nobody will notice.

 

Finding polling locations

On Election Day, stumble into any local church or high-school gym.  Look casual, but alive.  It’s okay if you appear drunk; most living voters look the same way.  Resist any urge to feed on the vast sea of sweet, sweet human flesh.  If you find it’s NOT a polling location, grab a quick snack of a toe or ear and go to the next closest facility.

 

Identification

You’ll have to show some “real” identification at the polls.  Simply flash a still from any one of the 200,000 zombie movies that have been made.  If the official gives you any guff, stare at him/her with your dead eyes and softly hiss, “brainsssss.”  Be confident.  You’re entitled to vote.  This is America.

 

Actual voting

Once in the voting booth, the wonderful world of democracy is yours.  If you’re using an electronic voting device, be sure to push the touch-screen items hard enough to register your vote (severely rotted hands and fingers can hinder this).  If you’re using one of the older machines that uses levers, try not to lose an arm while pulling.  If you’re already missing your arms, use whatever you can – even if it’s a body part you just ripped off a living person (try holding it with your teeth).

 

REMEMBER: Per the U.S. Constitution, you cannot be denied the right to vote.  It guarantees no discrimination due to age or race, except if you’re under 18.  If you’re under 18, you really shouldn’t be rising from the crypt to vote.  They’re sticklers about that stuff.

 

Have fun, and happy dead voting!

CHUCK NORRIS:  Good evening, and welcome to Republican Primary Debate #1,039.  I’m your moderator and favorite washed-up action movie star, Chuck Norris.  Please welcome our participants tonight: Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, and fragile geriatric Ron Paul.

RON:  Excuse me, I’m the only one here still in office.  I’m a twelve-term U.S. Representative.

CHUCK:  Shut up, old timer.  Now, here are the rules.  No spitting, no gouging, no bludgeoning.  Stinging an opponent with bees is allowed, but only if they’re African killer bees.

MITT:  Can we use logic and reason as weapons?

CHUCK:  You guys?  I doubt it.

The crowd loudly boos.

CHUCK:  Y’all shut up, too.  You’ve heard the stories about me.  They’re all true.  I’ll kick everyone’s asses.  Now, first question.  How do you intend to address the issue of illegal immigration?

MITT:  Make ‘em learn English.

RICK:  Deport ‘em.

NEWT:  Kill ‘em.  Kill ‘em all.

MITT:  Really?  Kill ‘em?  Speaker, if you found out one of your housekeepers was an illegal immigrant, would you kill her?

NEWT:  Which one?  Not the hot one.

RON: I think we should deal with this from a strictly economic point of view —

CHUCK:  (laughs) Right, geezer.  Speaker Gingrich, I’m intrigued by your response to Governor Romney about your “hot” housekeeper.  Please elaborate.

NEWT:  Well, I don’t really know her name right offhand, but I’d say she’s at least as hot as Jennifer Lopez in Out of Sight.

The crowd applauds enthusiastically.

MITT:  Speaker, are we supposed to stand here and believe your housekeeper is as hot as Jennifer Lopez in 1998?

RICK:  My record with hot Latino women has been dismal.  But, if elected, I will change that.  Hot Latino women for everyone!

The crowd applauds and hoots even more enthusiastically.

RON:  (sighs) We’re completely avoiding the issue here…

CHUCK:  Listen, pops, you’re getting on my every last nerve.  You are one pussy hair away from a righteous ass-kickin’.  Excuse me; we’re taking an e-mail question.  “Chuck Norris: is it true that under your beard lays yet another fist?  Anna, age 8, Atlanta”  (snorts)  Duh, Anna.  Anyway, Speaker Gingrich, Jennifer Lopez was incredibly beautiful in 1998.  Do you have a picture or something to prove your housekeeper’s hotness?

NEWT:  Why yes, I happen to have a picture on my phone.

He produces a phone, and shows the picture.

CHUCK:  Speaker, that’s the movie poster from Out of Sight.

NEWT:  (looks) What?  No, that’s my housekeeper.

CHUCK:  It has George Clooney in it and it says in big letters, “Out of Sight.”

MITT:  You see?  The speaker is a man so delusional about Latino poontang that he thinks his housekeeper is an actress.  The man is unfit for any office, even Office Max.  Which I think I own.

NEWT:  Stick a sock in it, Brigham Young backwash.  And while you’re at it, stick a sock in your magic underwear, too. (Glances crotchward) Women like more than a cocktail weenie.  You gonna please your five first ladies with that?

MITT: You son of a whore. (He attacks)

MITT and NEWT tussle violently.  RICK is petrified for a moment, then bolts.  RON continues.

RON:  I just want to remind everyone that these are the men who are beating the crap out of me in the primaries.  Now let me tell you how we can shrink government… (his voice fades out as CHUCK’s comes in).

CHUCK:  That’s it for the debate.  What a bunch of rich asshole pussies.  It’s time to open a Norris-sized can of whoopass.

He rips off his shirt and heads for the stage.

THE END (?)
