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!

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.

Get the Duggar 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.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.
