Wag the Dog

The title of my new blog is taken from the 1997 movie and the joke:

Why does a dog wag its tail?

Because a dog is smarter than its tail.

If the tail was smarter, the tail would wag the dog.

Wikopedia further explains:

Interpretations differ as to the meaning of this metaphor. Some suggest the dog is public opinion, and the tail represents the media; the dog is the media, and the tail is political campaigns; or the dog is the people, and the tail is the government. The expression "the tail wagging the dog" refers to any case where something of greater significance is driven by something lesser.

I feel there is a trend in Franklin, where something of greater significance is driven by something lesser, hence “Wag the Dog”.
