Liberals Screwing Up a Wet Dream – Metaphorically Speaking

You cannot make this news up.  Heh.  From Townhall.com,   “Ha: Fidel Castro’s Funeral Vehicle Broke Down Mid-Procession“.

An almost amusing sight at Fidel Castro’s funeral procession: the car carrying his remains reportedly broke down and had to be pushed by soldiers.

Pictures of the scene quickly spread on Twitter, with people calling it a “fitting metaphor” for the Castro regime:  1) Look no further for Cuba metaphors – Fidel’s final journey ends with a breakdown 2) How fitting: The jeep carrying Fidel Castro’s ashes broke down and soldiers had to push it the rest of the way to the cemetery. 3) Cuban soldiers push Fidel’s broken-down funeral vehicle — an Econ teacher’s dream-come-true for a metaphor HT.

Bernie Drops Out

That didn’t take long.  According to Heatstreet, “Bernie Sanders Leaves the Democratic Party” for a more hospitable destination.

The nomination was barely sealed up at the Democratic National Convention before Bernie Sanders, who had campaigned against Hillary Clinton for the Bernie_Sanders_Leaving_Philadelphia_VW_Sidecar_New_Lifeparty’s nod, went back to being an Independent.

Sanders, who considers himself, officially, an Independent in Congress because his views lean further left than the Democratic party’s platform, caucuses with Democrats. But until declaring an intention to run for the presidency in 2015, he had rarely, if ever, identified as a member of the Democratic Party (he’s been in politics since 1979).

Who Dresses This Woman, Hillary Clinton?

The resemblance is uncanny. The only difference is body count.  According to The Independent, “Mao’s Great Leap Forward ‘killed 45 million in four years’“.  How many bodies could Hillary rack up if given four years?

Mao Zedong, founder of the People’s Republic of China, qualifies as the greatest mass murderer in world history, an expert who had unprecedented Hillary_Mao_Suit_01access to official Communist Party archives said yesterday.

Speaking at The Independent Woodstock Literary Festival, Frank Dikötter, a Hong Kong-based historian, said he found that during the time that Mao was enforcing the Great Leap Forward in 1958, in an effort to catch up with the economy of the Western world, he was responsible for overseeing “one of the worst catastrophes the world has ever known”.

Mr Dikötter, who has been studying Chinese rural history from 1958 to 1962, when the nation was facing a famine, compared the systematic torture, brutality, starvation and killing of Chinese peasants to the Second World War in its magnitude. At least 45 million people were worked, starved or beaten to death in China over these four years; the worldwide death toll of the Second World War was 55 million.
