ZOMBIES
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.

I actually laughed aloud when I first read this, and then I saw today's NYT editorial by Nicholas Kristof:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/02/opinion/02kristof.html?_r=1

Japan’s prime minister, Taro Aso, drew on the lessons of Japan’s “lost decade” to scold Germany in an interview with The Financial Times for its dithering about a[n economic] stimulus. When a Japanese prime minister scolds you for passivity, you know you’re practically a zombie.
