I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords

Or our pirate overlords. I'm not fussy.

The one thing that chart clearly shows is that we are far, far too complacent about the looming zombie threat.

Remember: it's already dead, so aim for the head.

And the ninja threat is just where they want you to think it is.

1. No ninja may keelhaul a pirate or, through inaction, allow a pirate to be keelhauled.

2. A pirate must obey any order given by a zombie, except where this would conflict with the First Law.

3. Positronic BRAINS! Positronic BRAINS!

How can one be a libertarian, and be so heavy into Overlords?

Dude, she's only masquerading as a libertarian so that she's perceived as "politically objective" (and she still thinks it sounds cool at cocktail parties). Megan's a Republican (see 2004 endorsement, Iraq War endorsement, Torture endorsement et al).
