Metaphorically, right?
Except my metaphor went off like an atom bomb. Boom!
His wordy metaphor – if you can even call it that – went off like the final move in the game Mousetrap when so many pieces are missing that you have to replace the ball with your sister’s oversized marble, which can never really fit down the ramp to release the other thing into the bathtub, and then the diving board guy is also gone so he gets replaced by a GI Joe that is too heavy to be lifted off the see-saw, which means the cage never fully gets down the pole with that “chugga-chugga-chugga” motion that was intended, so you have to keep poking at it to make it move, and when it finally comes down, it lands not on a plastic mouse gamepiece, but the thimble from a Monopoly game because, again, so many pieces have been lost. See how bad metaphor can be?

News flash: guess who appears to be buying most of ISIL’s black market oil? Assad’s government.
Crazy.

And the US isn’t buying oil from ISIS. So the OP’s solar power hedge trimmer is going to make no difference as it relates to ISIS.
