| Introduction | Uncle Sam slipped a bit since the fifties, a tad less idealistic in his old age. It's a grim business, ushering droves to mechanistic death and keeping up with capitalist proselytism--he found an early retirement better suiting. He handed off his post to his similarly dressed yet more colorful Haitian neighbor, Baron Samedi. He's an entertaining fella, but he likes fucking with people. It's hard being an American psychopomp, so on occasion he enslaves zombies to usher droves to the afterworld--much easier than getting one's hands dirty at the crossroads. Playin' tricks on poor fools with a bottle of rum and a cigar, he has quite the sense of humor, declaring that merit equates to social mobility, money is patriotism, antisemitism is the same as anti-Zionism and queers are a modern plague...sometimes people take him too seriously. |
