Moonbats Plagued by Robotic Insects
Moonbats have turned their alternate reality into a bad trip by persuading themselves that sinister neocons are using robotic insects to spy on their public displays of gracelessness. WaPo reports:
Vanessa Alarcon saw them while working at an antiwar rally in Lafayette Square last month.
"I heard someone say, 'Oh my god, look at those,' " the college senior from New York recalled. "I look up and I'm like, 'What the hell is that?' They looked kind of like dragonflies or little helicopters. But I mean, those are not insects."
Out in the crowd, Bernard Crane saw them, too.
"I'd never seen anything like it in my life," the Washington lawyer said. "They were large for dragonflies. I thought, 'Is that mechanical, or is that alive?'"
That is just one of the questions hovering over a handful of similar sightings at political events in Washington and New York. Some suspect the insectlike drones are high-tech surveillance tools, perhaps deployed by the Department of Homeland Security.
A kook at Daily Kos grasps his chin and pontificates upon the ramifications:
We increasingly live in a world without boundaries, it is true, and in some ways that is good, but some serious contemplation is called for before removing the boundaries between robots and insects, for example, on the part of the government. I don't see that contemplation happening here, and it appears that the consequences for our society could be vast.
A less contemplative take: Easy on the LSD, you lousy hippies!
On a tip from Robert.

Go to school, get a true education of biology, mechanics and other sciences and develop incredible technology to rival Japanese robotics.
OR
go to school get in touch with your self esteem, hug some trees (and live in them), hate your country and western civilization, and make a "bomb belt" with flashing LEDs and call it art.

Somebody probably decided to buzz the moonbats just for fun.

Should we be surprised at this, coming from people who say that the "Bush Cartel" downed the W.T.C. in order to manipulate the populace, but that the "Cartel" is afraid to arrest anyone who blows the whistle on them for fear of being "found out?"

Ha. Saw this earlier, wondered if it'd appear here, thought it might :)
Now this is in the public sphere, we can expect masses of "sightings" as people see what they expect to see. Every passing dragonfly will become a government spy-fly. Same as UFO flaps, Blessed Virgin Mary sightings, Chupacubra attacks etc. This one will run and run.

This does does, indeed, have sinister overtones...all one has to do is read history:
"Today- New York and Washington.
Tomorrow...THE WORLD!!!!"
-Neocon Operative Maxwell Smart, in a letter to The Cheif, 1966

In the Kim Possible cartoon, an agent points out how STUPID the "fly on the wall cam" was because people kept SWATTING it!
What's next, some moonbat will watch the '60s BATMAN episode where a woman tried to blow up Gotham city with hundreds of thousands of MECHANICAL MICE, each carrying an ounce of TNT and say that that's how "THEY" blew up the WTC?

What is a "moonbat"?
As far as I can make out from this site it seems to be anyone with real integrity, penetrating intelligence, sparkling wit and genuine compassion and understanding.

Richard,
Go to the Huffington Post or the Daily Coz and read THEIR "penetrating intelligence, sparkling wit and genuine compassion and understanding", you'll find out what "moonbats" are.

And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.

Richard made an enlighted observation...

Ah, like the people who wanted Dick Cheney's grandchild to die of crib death, and the people who want Tony Snow to die of cancer.
Lovely people, the left.

Moonbat: a Leftist whose ideology overrides his common sense.
One sure manifestation of moonbattery is the proclivity toward treating of the Bill of Rights as a suicide pact, i.e. "I don't care if Osama knows where the nuke is hidden and a million people are going to die in an hour. Now that you have him in custody, you have to mirandize him and allow him counsel before asking him anything about it."

Reading the comments about the stupid art crack I wondered whats with the robot insects. I scroll down and all becomes clear. Cheaper than black helocopters I suppose. Better for the enviroment too. Count your blessings hippies.

That would be such an awesome prank to pull at an ultra- lib protest!
Enlist a few friends, buy some of those dragon fly toys (Maybe even alter them a little so they'll look scarier, i.e. put a fake camera on them), then when the dirty hippies are out protesting about how evil Bush and all other American conservatives are, secretly fly the toys around them, buzzing them for a little while. It probably won't take more than fifteen seconds for them to notice it, start panicking, and howl and shriek about how Bush is surveilling them (It'll probably take even less time if the hippies are really stoned, which they are 99% of the time). Then, promptly leave, and let their paranoia turn them into even more ridiculous nutcases.
