deer truffles

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.

Tarantino

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!

fairy-dusting

An act of protest in the name of Gay Rights where a hater is showered with glitter. For best effect, rainbow colored glitter is used while loudly announcing “STOP THE HATE.”
Sam: Saw all these Con-serves posting comments about what a criminal Robert Erickson is for fairy-dusting Newt Gingrich and his wife.

Ella: The irony--sprinkling them with glitter on he same day the story broke about Newt Blingrich’s enormous bill at Tiffany's.

Sam: Oh, maybe that’s why Newt was smiling in the photo–he must have thought Erickson was a Tiffany Rep declaring him their millionth customer.

Duggar

noun

The head hypocrite. A duggar not only rails against behaviour he gleefully does in private, but he leads the parade against said behaviour.

In Psychoanalysis there is a defense mechanism called reaction formation where a person behaves in an opposite way to his private behaviour, which is fueled by a repressed impulse. The duggar, however, is conscious of and delights in the forbidden private behaviour.

The orders of magnitude are thus: There is denial; reaction formation is denial on steroids; being a duggar is reaction formation on steroids.
Larry Craig was, for the most part, a hapless guy in denial, but Ted Haggard was a full-blown duggar.

triple-P

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!”

block-away

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.
