M: You should see my tulips. I planted $60 of bulbs last fall.
J: Oh, I can’t grow tulips anymore because of the deer. They love tulip bulbs.
M: How do they even find them?
J: They find them somehow, and dig them up.
M: They must smell them like pigs smell truffles.
J: Yeah, I’ll be darned if I spend money planting deer truffles.

Get the deer truffles mug.Shorthand for a political-polly-parrot–that is a person who:
1. Espouses the same right-wing talking points on any media available.
2. Gets all of his or her opinions from right wing media–mostly television and radio.
Both types of triple-P’s repeat the same whole phrases.
For example, on health care every triple-P is crying:
“Don’t cram this bill down our throats.”
“We have to start over.”
“Reconciliation is a sleazy trick.”
“...Death panels...”
“...a plot to kill grandma ...”

The worst triple-P is Cheney’s whelp. But since his eye surgery, I can’t even yell at the TV screen, “Oh, not this cross-eyed bastard again!”

Get the triple-P mug.Verb form of The Tarantino.
Alternate name the US Senate filibuster because it kills bills. On her self-named show on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow felt that the word filibuster puts people to sleep, and the issue of filibuster abuse was too important to have a sleepy electorate.

When they Tarantino a bill, you could also call it constitutional blockage because the filibuster is like an impacted colon in the body politic. The Senate needs a good cleanse of the obstructionist! Then, maybe things will get moving!

Get the triple-P mug.A block-away is a person who is so butt-ugly that they only stop hurting you eyes when they get a block away.
I was looking at the state police website of convicted sex offenders in my neighborhood. Yikes! 80- to 90 percent of them are block-aways.
So are you saying that the ugly made them do it?
Maybe. Ugly is lonely, and maybe the lonely made them do it.
Well, it’s a theory.

Sue: The political-polly-parrots-rahahk have done every dirty trick in the book to tarantino health care; now they are whining about ordinary House and Senate rules.
Bill: Yeah, all they did on health care when they had total control of everything is to pass an unfunded medicare drug benefit with a donut hole big enough to swallow up both grandma and grandpa!
