What's a Meta-phor?
WHAT'S A META-PHOR?by texaspackerbacker

I've been known to do an occasional political post in other forums. Well, I got off on this tangent with some metaphors about the Packers, so I decided to expand it and send it to PackerPundit. Regarding Canada, I said "PERCEIVED easier target". Since they haven't gotten hit either, it wouldn't be right to say they are easy to hit, but since al Qaeda has been shut down from completing any strikes in the U.S., they may go after the one THEY THINK they can hit.
It's like the U.S./Bush/Dept. of Homeland Security is Al Harris, so the enemy thinks they can complete one on Canada--Ahmad Carrol, but he is better than they think. Also, the FBI--Nick Collins is usually help out, as happened in this Toronto 17 terrorist thing. Some would say Mexican border security is our Mark Roman--giving up way too much yardage--illegals, even if not touchdowns--terrorist hits. While we didn't pay the big money for a "fence"--a high-priced free agent Safety, we did do a low-cost upgrade in that area--Marquand Manuel.

Actually, you could say that Brett Favre is Bush's handling of the war in Iraq. After overwhelming the enemy the previous season--the military phase, Favre stumbled last season, a prime factor in it being a bad year. Can he get it turned around in the late stages of his career for a couple of more Super Bowls--the '06 and '08 elections? Ahman Green--Rumsfeld is getting old and may be on the way not even be back, but Donald Driver--Condoleeza is looking as sharp as ever. Look for the Offensive Line--the American military to rebound, despite inexperience in some key positions, and lead the drive to success. Where is the political left--the irrational Bush-haters in this whole group of metaphors? They are the injuries. They contributed strongly to the bad times in the recent past, and even though they will try to ruin this season too, it's doubtful they will be able to mess things up two years in a row.
