While we wait for the Congress and the Administration to take all our money and laugh themselves all the way to the bank, I thought it would be fun to compile a list of metaphors. How would you describe this "OMGWEAREALLGOINGTODIE Bailout"? What creative and sardonic scenarios can we compare this to? Oh, and if you want to throw in some metaphors about the Very Noble Suspension of The McCain Campaign(tm), please do so. Kinda like Hammer Time. Let's break it down!
Rachel Maddow had the Halloween candy metaphor. If you haven't seen it, it's a fantastic one.
This is a compilation of metaphors used during the Congressional hearings by our very own elected representatives, courtesy of TPM. Well, granted, there are some similes in there, but hey. We can't all be metaphorically perfect.
There's been some football metaphors, some rather crude prison sex metaphors, and others. What's yours? Let's at least have some fun while we wait for the news that the middle class is still getting screwed while Wall Street gets their welfare.
Hey, anyone out there have health care yet? No? How about a stable job? 401K? Anyone?
Ok then. Metaphor Time it is!
