n. The dominant species on Capitol Hill. Fawned over by the slobbering press seeking red-meat ratings. Frequently dine on boring, over-informed, over-intelligent, uber nerdy policy wonks.

n. A mixed drink, similar in taste to a mudslide, but with definite coffee tones. Very tasty! Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
2 shots Kahlua
1 shot Amaretto
1/2 cup Half-and-half
6 Ice cubes
Mixing instructions:
Add above ingrediants in a blender. Blend on high until the ice is crushed. Serve in a cocktail glass. No garnish.
A variation of the drink is called the Spunky Orangutan. For those who don't like coffee at all, replace the Kahlua with Bailey's Irish Cream. While chocolatey and without coffee bitterness of the Spunky Monkey, it also has an amazing hint of marchino cherry. Also very tasty!

n. In Baltimoron, this is the "home city" of Baltimore. While this is the usual spelling for the word, a more correctly phonetic spelling would be "Bawlamer." (Those of you in the Mid-West might pronounce the first "a" as a short a, and that would be incorrect.) Baltimore is frequently shortened further to "Balmer." Again, this is the accepted spelling, but a more correctly phonetic spelling would be "Bawlmer."
"Doen'cha knoe, I'm from Balamer,
'n' crabs is whut I'm eechin' feur!
Doen'cha knoe, Santa dear,
With sum cold crabs 'nd a beer,
It would be jus like a trip back to old Bal-tee-more,
Baaaaal-teeee-mooore!"

n. PETN is an acronym for Pentaerythritol tetranitrate. It is also known as PENT, PENTA, TEN, corpent, penthrite (or—rarely and primarily in German—as nitropenta), is the nitrate ester of pentaerythritol. Penta refers to the five carbon atoms of the neopentane skeleton. PETN is most well known as a secondary explosive. It is one of the most powerful high explosives known, with a relative effectiveness factor of 1.66. PETN mixed with a plasticizer forms a plastic explosive. As a mixture with RDX and other minor additives, it forms another plastic explosive called Semtex as well. PETN was first synthesized in 1891 by Bernhard Tollens and P. Wigand by nitration of pentaerythritol. The production of PETN started in 1912, when it was patented by the German government.
PETN was used by the German Army in World War I. PETN was discovered in the bombs used by the 2001 Shoe Bomber, in the 2009 Christmas Day bomb plot, and in the 2010 cargo plane bomb plot.

1. A mixed drink. It can be made with any combination of liquers or soft drinks. The only salient ingredient is Polonium 210 (Po-210). Po-210 is an alpha emitter that has a half-life of 138.376 days. A milligram of Po-210 emits about as many alpha particles per second as 4.5 grams of Radium-226. As such, an extremely small amount (50 nanograms!) that is ingested will result in a painful death that takes several weeks to complete. Hence a Polonium Cocktail is NOT something you want to order from your bartender.
Po-210 poisioning is an assassination technique that was developed by the KGB in the 1970s. The Po-210 poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in 2006, allegedly by former KGB agents Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitri Kovtun, after Litvinenko wrote scathing books about Vladimir Putin, shows that the assassination technique is still in use by the current Russian trauponcracy.

If you criticize Vladimir Putin, he'll send you a Polonium Cocktail. Just ask Alexander Litvinenko. Wait, you can't, because he's dead.
