Metaphor Alert


In the spirit of James Taranto, check out this metaphor alert:

Houston County commissioners essentially killed a proposed firearms ordinance Tuesday after it had been gravely wounded in October when several residents took verbal shots at its restrictions.

Staggering and stumbling from one commission meeting to another for more than a month, the proposal was finally cast aside Tuesday and allowed to die on the table when none of the five commissioners would make a motion to vote on it.

Well I'm glad it got shot down. Funny that the author couldn't find the right metaphorical groove for the title, "Gun ordinance cast aside". Sounds like he was fishing for a different angle.
