No, literally a puppet master.

Quote:
A few years ago, Joe Therrien, a graduate of the NYC Teaching Fellows program, was working as a full-time drama teacher at a public elementary school in New York City.
Frustrated by huge class sizes, sparse resources and a disorganized bureaucracy, he set off to the University of Connecticut to get an MFA in his passion—puppetry.

Three years and $35,000 in student loans later, he emerged with degree in hand.

And so Occupy Wall Street’s Puppet Guild, one of about a dozen guilds under the Arts and Culture working group, was born.
Saw this in a movie once...but wasn't John Cusack's character literally certifiable from playing with his dolls all the time?

Just think of the puppet master shortage we'd have if the government didn't guarantee their loans.
Perish the thought.

I think DC has more than enough puppet masters to last several lifetimes. No worries about a shortage.

Obama consistently has his strings pulled by Soros

I love the guy's quote about people loving puppets. WTF. Puppets are creepy.
