"This girl is like the Xena of social climbing. She demands respect from her clique, fully expects the attention of everyone in the room, and routinely pulls these Jedi-like POW psychological tricks to keep her flunkies in line:"

The Burt Reynolds of Latin American dictators
"Daniel Ortega is like the Burt Reynolds of Latin American dictators, and he has the mustache to prove it. The former Sandinista leader and once and future president of Nicaragua is a fun combination of ruthlessness, manipulation and cunning deceptiveness. Let’s take a closer look."

The Mike Tyson of fiscal restraint
"From my own experience I have seen Chinese SOE's put together the most uneconomic deals imaginable in their voracious acquisition of external natural resources. I appreciate that this sounds odd and perhaps apocryphal, but it is standard for an SOE to commit to a billion dollar enterprise without doing a feasibility study. Chinese also have this odd belief that capital gains will always grow faster than underlying value (rent), in other words, there will always be a greater fool. Japanese thought the same thing until 1990. No matter how much one has in 'reserves', idiocy can eat up a seemingly inexhaustible pile of money in a flash. I look at China as the Mike Tyson of fiscal restraint, and expect a similar end. Empty cities, empty apartment blocks, paying a massive premium for commodity extraction, and this year's switch from a cash-paying to a debt-accumulating general population all suggest an unsightly end to this bubble."

The Stephen Colbert of verbs
"Active Verbs
These are the verbs that everyone wants. These verbs take no prisoners and aren’t all namby-pamby passive like everyone’s complaining Bella in the Twilight series is. These are the Rambo of verbs, the Natural Born Killers of verbs, the Stephen Colbert of verbs."
