Devolution

A new fringe-dwelling creature has crawled out of the sociopolitical ooze.  Closely related to the moonbat, the newly observed species features a collective, hive-like structure - not unlike the Borg.  Or that network of parasitic fungus they found in Oregon a while back.

Taxonomically dubbed municipalus liberalus, the emerging political phenomenon is better known simply as a moonburg, after its human counterpart.

The identifying characteristic of the species is passage by the local legislature of a resolution to abandon the fight in Iraq.

Specimens include Chicago, IL; Chapel Hill, NC; Berkeley, CA; Sacramento, CA; Cambridge, MA; and more than 60 other U.S. cities.

From The Washington Post:

The efforts are being pushed by the D.C.-based Institute for Policy Studies, which sponsored the prewar "Cities for Peace" campaign that helped rally 165 cities to oppose the 2003 invasion. Director John Cavanagh, pointing to polls that show growing public frustration with the Iraq war, said that "we're at a fascinating tipping point."
...
How far the effort goes remains to be seen. Cavanagh is the first to concede that cities alone cannot make foreign policy.

When traveling, keep an eye out for these curious creatures, which are not well understood by cogent, rational observers.  Moonburgs may be conspicuously non-aggressive, but make no mistake, they are dangerous.
