Nancy, Is That You?

We were browsing around on Google News this morning when our eye landed on this otherworldly image -- is that Nancy Pelosi on an acid trip? That photo accompanied a blurb about that hardly-new-information study showing that, yes, some mushrooms can make you kind of crazy. But WTF is Nancy doing in the picture? How'd she get involved in all this monkeybusiness?

Even stranger: the blurb in question is only semi-coherent. It begins, "an illegal drug from mushrooms taken by people have stated that they experience behavior changes for weeks." Chew on that phrase, you drug fiends. It has all of the ELEMENTS of a sentence without actually being one. The article adds that the study's lead author "did not participate in the research." Um, if that was true then he probably wouldn't have been made the lead author, would he?

Semantics aside, we just can't stop gazing at that image of the Peloster. It's like a soul-eating vortex of political maneuvering and Christmas lights. Is that what you see when you do shrooms? No thanks.
