Ann Cleaves, 5/23/11:
You see, the Mississippi floodwaters are
exactly the same as the debt ceiling, in that flood water rises up from the ground and the debt ceiling is (metaphorically) over our heads, and so the flood gushes down the too-much-spending stairs to fill up the living room of government spending.
But if we slash spending on the military and Medicaid, the Mississippi will return to its banks and we can move upstairs into the bedrooms of fiscal prudence, leaving the poor, sick, and old (and anyone the military was protecting us from) to squat on the river banks until the metaphor completely collapses.
