Metaphor in Search of a Clue
I think Richard Parsons might need a history lesson:
"The Googles of the world, they are the Custer of the modern world. We are the Sioux nation," Time Warner Inc. Chief Executive Richard Parsons said, referring to the Civil War American general George Custer who was defeated by Native Americans in a battle dubbed "Custer's Last Stand".
"They will lose this war if they go to war," Parsons added, "The notion that the new kids on the block have taken over is a false notion."
Hmm - last time I looked, the Sioux didn't win that war. Parsons might want to reconsider his metaphors :)
