In American democracy, when the majority party has enough votes to pass populist legislation, party leaders designate a scapegoat who will refuse to vote with the party thereby killing the legislation. The opposition is otherwise inexplicable and typically comes from someone who is safe or not up for re-election. This allows for maximum diffusion of responsibility.

WTF??? Senator Lieberman now opposes the same health care compromise he himself suggested. Just when everyone thought Democrats had enough votes to get this done. Guess they made Lieberman the rotating villain...

rotating caps

This is seen mainly in Xbox gamertags. People will make a gamertag such as xXxLeGiTsNiPeRxXx, which has rotating caps. This is basically when there is a word or phrase that alternates between lowercase and uppercase letters.

Jeff: Hey add me on Xbox Live
John: Alright, what's your gamertag?
Jeff: xXxLeGiTsNiPeZxXx
John: ... are you serious...
Jeff: What?
John: You have rotating caps in your gamertag...
Jeff: 1v1 me!

Rotating Hamster Job

A procedure designed to administer oral sex while having the penis rotate in one's mouth. This is done by tying the target to a giant hamster wheel with each limb distributed around the wheel. The one administering the RHJ will then rotate the hamster wheel by running inside of it while performing oral sex on the target.

I'm still dizzy from that Rotating Hamster Job.
