A zombie bailout? Why not:

Millions of Americans on Social Security are receiving $250 checks as part of the president's stimulus plan—including an Anne Arundel woman who died more than 40 years ago.

"I just want to keep it as a souvenir, that's all. I'll never cash it," Hagner said.

Rest here. Reason on zombies here.
