Courtesy of Republican and Governor of Kansas, Sam Brownback, discussing what's most important, in a manner of speaking:
Gov. Sam Brownback wants Kansans to be ready for the zombie apocalypse.
The governor will officially declare October “Zombie Preparedness Month” on Wednesday – a fun way to encourage Kansans to prepare for actual disasters, such as tornadoes and floods, that are slightly more likely to happen than walking corpses roving the prairie looking for brains to eat.“If you’re prepared for zombies, you’re prepared for anything,” Brownback said in a news release. “Although an actual zombie apocalypse will never happen, the preparation for such an event is the same as for any disaster: make a disaster kit, have a plan and practice it.”
So, prepare for the Zombie apocalypse even though it will never happen. Got it. Prepare for a state that can educate its kids, provide its people adequate medical care regardless of their financial circumstances or find a way not to run massive budget deficits? Not that big a deal.
Thanks, Sam. For. Nothing. But. A. Bad. Joke.
