Metaphors are Good, part ii

July 22, 2009

Smitty:

Seen from the standpoint where the US is a tub, power is water, and Washington, DC is the drain, Ron Paul is quite valuable as a rubber ducky for tracking the drainage.

One might also suggest the US as a toilet, power still being water, and Ron Paul being that one floater that just. Will. Not. Go. Down.

Because of those damned government-regulated low-flow toilets, probably, which is a fine way of extending the metaphor.

Of course, we won’t take the metaphor in quite that direction because: it’s gross; and those Ronulans are some scary guys.

    Nah, not really. It wasn’t really very funny.

    It was, too, funny. And there’s more where that came from!
