A pyromaniac in a field of straw men? Gee, Paul, don't stop at a simple mixed metaphor. You can do better than that.
A pyromaniac poisoning the well with a red herring while having his cake and eating it too in a field of straw men. There, that's more like it.

Ryan has a very sharp wit. He could kick anyone in a debate.

Every time DumBO threatens that not taxing millionaires and billionaires will result in not doing cancer research, putting teachers, police, and firefighters back to work or starving children, those are his choices.

The Great Fire in Rome created a lot of jobs—building Nero’s Golden House (where the Colosseum is now).
