Yes, in the immortal words of Tristan Tzara, "God and my toothbrush are Dada, and New Yorkers can be Dada too, if they are not already."

Why belong to the Happy or Disgruntled People's Party, when you can thumb your nose at everything and everyone all at the same time.

Hate those artsy constructions that pass for "meals" at the best restaruants? Stuff in a puddle not worth paying for! More shoe polish for me!

Ever wonder what kind of idiot pays money for Jackson Pollack?

Is the banality of TV the result of our bourgeois mentality, or is it the other way around?

And our party's motto:

"Jam yesterday, and jam tomorrow, but never jam today."

and

"Every man his own football."

Join our party now! Why be happy? Why be disgruntled?

Be Dada!

OK, I'll quit the maniacaly angry party and join Dada.

"Proclamation Without Pretension" (1918) Tristan Tzara



Art is going to sleep for a new world to be born

"ART"-parrot word-replaced by DADA,

PLESIOSAURUS, or handkerchief



The talent THAT CAN BE LEARNED makes the

poet a druggist TODAY the criticism

of balances no longer challenges with resemblances



Hypertrophic painters hyperaes-

theticized and hypnotized by the hyacinths

of the hypocritical-looking muezzins



CONSOLIDATE THE HARVEST OF EX-

ACT CALCULATIONS



Hypodrome of immortal guarantees: there is

no such thing as importance there is no transparence

or appearance



MUSICIANS SMASH YOUR INSTRUMENTS

BLIND MEN take the stage



THE SYRINGE is only for my understanding. I write because it is

natural exactly the way I piss the way I'm sick



ART NEEDS AN OPERATION



Art is a PRETENSIO

Sounds gud to mi.

I am quite sure, minus a bird's nest or two, that the Dada Party can more effectively confuse the world by running the US government - we can do a better job than either the Republican or Democratic Party.

A Fish!

Well, now you may be pushing it. Hard to top the circus that is US Politics.

Very zen *nods appreciatively*

Five birds flew into the cukoo's nest. Without them, the US government would have been an elephant.

Until such a time, we promise eternal personal revolution, and a persecution of all sparrows.

And what is a circus without peanuts and peacocks?
