MegaNewsworthy?

Thus saith MegaHAL:

The infamous hunting vacation with dick cheney raises a mighty army of zombies
the sun hung low and smiling
the feel of it happened slow:
brushing the stickseed off,
brushing away some slight
need for maine's coast. Later the funny salt
on the burnished disk of the sea.

Wait a minute. A hunting trip with the Vice-President of the United States of America raises zombies?! Are you sure about this, HAL?

Only dick cheney raises a mighty army of them, thirty to fifty million strong, who have heads, hearts, and
extensive sand seas.

Um. Well, it's not as if there weren't people predicting that this sort of thing would happen. It just didn't seem likely that the necessary rituals would be performed so early in this election cycle.
