The Matchup: The IRA vs. Roth IRAs
The Irish Republican Army, terroristic arm of the political party Sinn Feinn (pronounced Shin Feign, for those who care) is a group of militant white guys who blow things up to try to convince the British to go away. Strong in explosiveness and fiddling skills, but weakened by members' frequent defections to the spinter groups RIRA and CIRA.
Roth IRAs are known for being a bizarre way to plan to escape taxation when you're 70. Strong in investment capability, they were - like the Senator's own son - named after Senator William V. Roth Jr. They have are notable for their relative intangibility.

*It turns out the Roth IRA wasn't there.*
*An IRA bomb goes off in an investment firm, wounding 4.*
*Funny thing, the Roth IRA wasn't really there either.*
*An IRA bomb goes off in a stock exchange, killing 2 and wounding over 20.*
*Huh. Where the hell is the Roth IRA? How the hell are we supposed to detonate something we can't find?*
