latimesblogs.latimes.com — It's probably a comment on the predictability of the 2008 presidential campaign that it was anticipated by "Batman," a 40-year-old TV show populated by wacky caricatures. Same hack script, same hack channel. See the ridiculous parallels with your own eyes.

You mean eating the fish raw and biting his "campaign manager" on the face?

And a "warped shillelagh" no less. Shillelaghs already tended to be warped and knotty. So he was going for a little folksy hyperbole.

Yes, for having moderately fiscally liberal policies, the Democrats are essentially Nazis. Also, the best argument against vegetarianism is that Hitler was a vegetarian.

I was thinking how much of Rod Serling's work from the Twilight Zone is so applicable today.<a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7CDzBZTnHY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7CDzBZTnHY</a>

Oh really. Thanks for the tip.Knowing the definition of an allegory or an analogy, and being able to identify them are two different tricks. That story was terrible as either; the correlations were horribly flimsy. It worked about as well as any sophomoric exercise demonstrating the author's understanding of the concepts.Which is about where I think most Digg readers are, so I don't know why I would expect more.
