“What’s in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?”
– The Cranberries
“I would muuuuch rather have a phony, competent person in the White House than an incompetent, authentic person. I’m not sure the two aren’t correlated: The greater competence you’ve got, the more you’ve got to be phony in order to get the job done. I want my president to put a mask on. When they’re negotiating for a national-security agreement? Put the mask on. When they’re negotiating with Congress? Put the mask on. If someone says to me a politician is phony, my response, at some point, is, ‘Well, they gotta be. That’s their job.’”
– Bob Kerrey
“There’s no emotion. None. Just the pretense of it. The words, the gesture, the tone of voice, everything else is the same, but not the feeling.”
“They’re like huge seed pods!”
“They’re here already! You’re next! You’re next! You’re next…”
– Invasion of the Body Snatchers, 1956
I just couldn’t resist. Here’s a link to a really fun article: Jennifer Senior’s “The Politics of Personality Destruction.” It’s been out there for months, but it’s a good read, the photos are a hoot, and there might just be an explanation or two in it of why some continue to cast votes for p-zombies.
