I fail to see the point of the effort you put into this "list". Is the use of analogy a crime or something to be mocked? Is it improper to use historical context to interpret current events?

And you're missing Richard Nixon -- the cross-country involvement in House and Senate (and even Governor) elections in 2010 is straight out of the Nixon playbook, and was commented on at the time.

If you're going to do something pathetically useless, you may as well be complete about it.

Mahasamatman ("Great Souled Sam," lead character/hero of Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny, winner of the 1968 Hugo Award)--I posted the following in Feb. 2010:

Her followers called her Maha-Sarah-cuda, and said she was a Presidential candidate. She preferred to drop the Maha- and the -cuda, however, and called herself Sarah. She never claimed to be a Presidential candidate. But then, she never claimed not to be a Presidential candidate. Circumstances being what they were, neither admission could be of any benefit. Silence, though, could.

Therefore, there was mystery about her.

It was in the season of budget deficits . . .

it was well into the time of the great spending . . .

—Apologies to Roger Zelazny’s memory . . .

My little parody stands up pretty well, If I do say so myself. Of course, you have to have read the book to get the parody/joke/inference (which, if you like science fiction at all, you should. It's a GREAT book.)

I just wish for your list to be as complete as possible . . .

I still don’t understand Paul Bunyan.
