New descriptor: "zombie idea"
"Staffers in the [U.S.] embassy's economic section called Commerce's plan to end the [Iraqi's monthly food] rations a 'zombie idea.'
'It was one of those bad ideas that you think is dead, but it keeps coming up every nine to 12 months,' the embassy official said. 'And each time it comes up, the plan gets worse.' "
