Default Re: who has the power :)?

Oh boy! Have I got alot to catch up on in this thread! So many questions.

Quote:
When I refer to Dick Chaney (vice-president of the USA) as the puppet master everyone knows exactly what I mean. I guess that personifies the "pulling-the-strings" metaphor.
You say puppet master around here, the response is, "You mean Master of the Puppet?" Then an enthusiastic conversation about Metallica erupts.

Quote:
You mean George W is a puppet
I thought the gripe about W was that he couldn't be controlled and thought for himself?

Quote:
Do I pick on him too much? I think not enough.

There is nothing in George W. Bush's resume, either before or after he became president, to indicate that he has the brainpower to plan a family vacation, let alone lead a country. Without a puppet master (even a malevolent model of corporate greed) my country would be leaderless.
I would think a bachelor’s degree in history from Yale University and a a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School would help him out a bit when planning that trip to Magic Springs.

Here in Brazil, we say that the person in control of a situation is the one who deals the cards...what would you understand by that in English?And talking about George...have you seen Fahrenheit 9 /11?Michael Moore´s?If you have...is it all true?????
No it's not. I saw it and I can't believe that anyone would buy into that garbage. Unless, of course, Michael Moore is a mind reader on top of all his other 'accomplishments?'

Quote:
How on earth could he have made it up????(Michael, I mean..) I can see George making it up..Michael, no no no..Well, nonetheless..I can´t come to terms with having people see such documentary and not do bugger all about it!It can be all true! It´s outrageous..
My children could have made it up. (Yes, they are learning. Our little school has improved tremendously since I attended.) What can be done about it? That film wasn't any more reliable than anything a Republican would have thrown together about a Democrat, had they been so inclined. It's basically an opinion, which everyone has a right to.

Quote:
But Michael Moore did.
Amen!

His ass is three times the size! He is about the only man who, when he wears a tuxedo, still looks like an unmade bed.
His ass is so big because that huge head of his is always shoved up it!
