Leave the Metaphors to the Professionals

Reason's Hit and Run links to an official proclamation that warns hapless American citizens (a redundancy in the mind of Those Who Are Noble Enough to Rule) about Canadian pot:
    "Canada is exporting to us the crack of marijuana and it is a dangerous problem," Walters told reporters in Miami, where he kicked off a campaign to cut marijuana use by Hispanic youths.
Let's examine that metaphor. Canada (Canada!) is exporting to us the most addictive drug of drug. Crikey, it's the cornflower blue of all blues! The Super Bowl of football games!

I think somewhere Walters has opened a rift in the Space-Metaphor continuum. Sure, it's small now, but it's growing, and someday soon discourse will be sucked into incomprehensibility.

Don't say I didn't warn you.
