Obama's Election Means a Return of Vampire Flicks

gyrogeerloose writes "In a column in Saturday's San Diego Union Tribune, Peter Rowe makes a connection between the popularity of horror movie genres and the political party in the White House. A Republican administration presides over a period of zombie movies while a Democrat in the Oval Office brings on a cycle of vampire movies. Why? Possibly because the two genres 'are really competing parables about class warfare.' Hmmmm, maybe. On the other hand, it might just be a coincidence." Socialists are best represented by lycanthropes, and the Libertarians are most closely tied to any sort of horror from space.

Re:Pluto

Well, if you ever happen to meet her (assuming you speak of Palin) you could tell her, "No you dumb bimbo, Pluto is not big enough to be a planet. However, the good news is Uranus is big enough to be several planets." I'm sure she'll appreciate that.
