Whatever it all means, I sent the link to Glenn Reynolds, who, besides being a
constitutional law professor at my alma mater, the real UT, is probably the
number one blogger in the USA. His daily hits are in the hundreds of thousands.

Glenn put it up five minutes after I sent it, so whoever zombietime is, I'm
guessing he's going to get more hits in the next 24 hours than he's ever had
before, for whatever that's worth.
One photograph is still worth 1000 words, but sometimes it takes 1001 words to

don't lie, but liars do photograph. I could go on and on, but I find it more
amusing than upsetting. I mean, after all, it is the San Fran Chronicle.
