From the page: “I realized a few weeks ago that if, when reading the newspaper (or your blog roll or whatever), you mentally replace all mentions of the economy with the word “zombies,” it makes for much more entertaining reading.
Also, swap in “the zombie apocalypse” for “the economic crisis.”
Alas, when you say things to friends like, “It’s a really lousy time to be looking for a job, what with the zombies,” they look at you like you’re insane.”
