Depressingly, the variety of Anti-Zombie videogames just seems to keep increasing at a steady clip. Perhaps tiring of the Zombie Apocalypse theme, Anti-Zom developers are branching out: There’s no denying it. Zombie games make money.

Yesterday was a great day for Zombie Rights, what with the quite large and entirely peaceful and law-abiding Zombie Walk Against Governor Walker here in Madison. Even the Mainstream Media’s reporting on the event was largely positive: On Saturday afternoon, the protest movement against Gov. Scott Walker finally died, so to speak. A shuffling, groaning [...]

I think today demonstrates once and for all the link between talking about the Differently Animated and discussing politics, for today here in Madison we had a fascinating example of peaceful political activism – by the Differently Animated and their allies.
