Drill baby drill

“Drill, baby, drill!”, perhaps the most memorable slogan of the Republican convention. How odd that those conventioneers so blithely and enthusiastically chose to evoke the horror movie title, “Kill, baby, kill”! IMDB.com lists two movies associated with that title, the first a movie also known as “House of the Living Dead”, the second whose plot is initiated by an unmistakable symbol of greed, an autopsy that reveals a gold coin imbedded in the heart of the deceased. Can it possibly be a mere accident, an unfortunate coincidence, that these messages were broadcast to the attentive by their mindless chant? I think not: I suspect these were uncontrollable howls from their very foundations, from deep in their souls. Would that we were paying attention.
