I've encountered a number of demon possessed zombies, but I didn't know how they were created. Science is wonderful, isn't it?

A writer “buries the lede” when the newsworthy part of a story fails to appear at the beginning, where it’s expected. Say, for example, that two people die in a house fire. The lede is buried if the reporting mentions the location, time, or cause of the fire before the deaths.

on his own TV show. If there was such a thing as demon possession, he'd need an exorcism for himself.

It seems like the Ds want to let everyone that's eligible to vote. vote.
Slippery slope, I'm tellin' ya. This could lead to chaos! Anarchy! Democracy!!!

zombies." It is a very effective method judging by the number of Republicans who have clearly been victims of the plan.
