He's Definitely Not Coming Back

Friday March 9, 2007
With someone as evil as Slobodan Milosevic was, it must be reassuring to know he's dead and buried- but for some detractors of the former Serbian dictator, death doesn't mean gone. After discovering plans by Milosevic's supporters to hold a ceremony at his gravesite, activists decided the possibility of an undead genocidal dictator was too much to risk, and conducted a ceremony of their own. Self-described 'Vampire hunter' and former Resistance fighter Miroslav Melosevic (no relation), arrived at the grave Saturday afternoon and drove a three foot hawthorn stake into the grave, aiming for Milosevic's heart.

On an earlier visit that morning, the activist left the following poem in the dictator's guest book:

"Dark to dark, he is buried in the dark, my mother rests in a grave, and not in a courtyard, it is midnight, the deaf night, the time of vampires, this time I came without anything, without a hawthorn stake, and next time I will come with the hawthorn stake."
It probaby wouldn't be a bad idea to leave some garlic, too.
