The Tony Montana of produce

"I have been working on a new recipe involving a mysterious and rare ingredient not readily found on your grocery store shelves. My job allows me access to almost every kind of vegetables/produce you could want. I managed to score 40 pounds out of 120 pounds total in New England of this enigmatic ingredient through a certain wholesale distributor, name withheld. Man, I’m like the Tony Montana of produce. Buy high, sell even higher."

The Dick Cheney of the Nile

"Aye continued in power under Tut, who quickly returned to the old capital and restored the old religion. That Tut accomplished all this before his 12th birthday suggests Aye was the power behind the throne. After Tuthankamun died from a mysterious accident involving a broken leg, the Dick Cheney of the Nile finally became pharaoh in 1323 B.C.E."

The Brett Favre of secular dictators

"After 18 days of protest that brought Egypt’s economy to a dead halt, President Hosni Mubarak has finally got the message that he’s no longer welcome to the party. News reports coming out of Egypt this morning confirmed the resignation of Mubarak, now officially the Brett Favre of secular dictators (a poor analogy, I know, but I couldn’t help but compare Mubarak’s press conference to the Lawn Mower’s televised retirement flip-flops). But I diverge. According to U.N. estimates, ousting Mubarak’s regime cost the lives of over 300 Egyptians. Mubarak’s administration has used 'emergency laws' since its inception in 1981 to torture citizens and squelch all political dissent. His policies benefited a select few of the country’s ultra-rich, but left most of the country’s population facing entrenched unemployment and rampant inflation. President Obama is set to address Mubarak’s resignation at 3:00 pm EST."
