Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Oh, the Balloonity!"


From DC's anarchist cartoonist -

Oh, The Balloonity!
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3595


My daily accidental random 15 seconds of MSNBC has become more and 
more hilarious by the day lately, because balloons. The teleprompter 
readers are absolutely apoplectic about the freakin' BALLOONS which 
are supposedly from ZOMG BAD EVIL CHINA. Except now, they prefer to 
refer to them as "unidentified objects" for some reason likely related 
to the volume of snickering coming from the general public at the 
sight of corporate media drones panting, drooling and soaking their 
panties over the prospect of an F16 shooting down A FREAKIN' BALLOON.

OK, so we're shooting down UFO's now, is that it? I'm guessing they 
decided to stop mentioning that they're balloons because people were 
laughing so goddamn hard they didn't hear the propaganda and didn't 
get as scared as they were supposed to. So, now we've got four of 'em, 
and the last three were "unidentified"? And are we supposed to be more 
alarmed about allegedly being surveilled by China than we are about 
being surveilled for sure by at least half a dozen agencies in our own 
goddamn country?

Balloons, y'all. Freakin' BALLOONS. Or, I guess they're UFO's now, then.

And, does this mean that China is the source of UFO's? And so what 
have we got on ice at Area 51, then — not space alien bodies at all, 
but just some frozen Chinese guys?
