Herschel and Werewolves and Vampires, Oh My

Tales from the GA campaign trail.

Look, people can sometimes find poor analogies when speaking in public as they try and make their points, but man, if I was in the fight of my political life, I think I might work a bit harder than this. On the other hand, he is more cogent here than when he tries to talk about policy.

    Well, I suppose Herschel knows whereof he speaks, but I sure as hell don’t.

    You know… as one that sometimes carries on far too long about movies, I feel really bad for him.

    btw… it was a fairly OK movie for its time… actually ahead of its time in the way that a horror movie making fun of horror movie came into vogue later (ex: Scream, etc.)

    For those who want to share in the Walker experience, the film is: Fright Night (1985)

    I have the feeling either a werewolf or a vampire could take on a walker (of Walking Dead fame).

    I wasn’t aware that werewolves could kill vampires. I guess that makes Walker more educated than I am. Question is – did Warnock know?
