A Vote For Romney is a Vote for Zomney!

The ReadyWriter

I think the world wants President Barack Obama to win re-election bid for a second term in the White House.

Just ask filmmaker Joss Whedon who believes Mitt Romney is the right man to lead America – into a “zombie apocalypse.”

With Election Day looming, the staunch President Obama supporter and “Avengers” director makes fun of Romney’s policies in a YouTube video posted online on Sunday. In the YouTube video, Whedon pounds Romney for his stance on just about every domestic issue while working in what appears to be his kitchen.

“Romney is ready to make the deep rollbacks in health care, education, social services, reproductive rights, that will guarantee poverty, unemployment, overpopulation, disease, rioting, all crucial elements in creating a nightmare zombie wasteland,” Whedon said.

The parody, just in time for Halloween includes a doctored photo of Romney looking like a zombie (pictured up top) Or “ZOMNEY,” as the video notes in big letters.

“Lets all embrace the future,” the 48-year-old Whedon quips. “Stop pretending we care about each other, and start hoarding canned goods. Because if Mitt takes office, sooner or later the zombies will come for all of us.”

Children across America are Hungry – and they’re blaming it on Michelle Obama

Students across the country are complaining and protesting the new school lunch regulations pushed by Michelle Obama. The new menu is mandated by the United States Department of Agriculture and its initiative was heavily promoted by first lady, Michelle.

All across the country, students are unhappy with the new calorie and protein limit on school lunches; it caps the number of lunch calories for students in kindergarten through fifth grade at 650, and at 700 calories for grades six through eight. High school lunches can contain no more than 850 calories.

The law calls for larger portions of fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, less sodium, and the elimination of trans fat in lunches. Schools may serve only nonfat or low-fat milk.

Schools across the country are reporting students who are unhappy with the new rules, they’re seeing it as; forced starvation diets.

In the you tube video posted of the protest, the students argue that the low-calorie lunches are not enough to meet the physical needs of growing teenagers.
