You mean after the one that says neocons are exempt? ;) Personally, I don't see any reason why the Taliban can't be absorbed into our vocabulary of metaphors. The comparison may be odious, but it is apt. There is a determined group of people in America who are attempting to turn a country once known as the beacon of enlightenment into another repressive theocracy. Their agenda is not political but cultural, and PayPal is just one manifestation of it. Perhaps you would prefer, before you make noises about conspiracy theorists in tinfoil hats, a comparison to piranha. If you fall into a school of piranha, it doesn't matter that they didn't discuss eating you and then take a vote.
