A farming term used predominantly in the Midwest. Rocks make their way up through the soil in fields and farmers need to remove these before they are able to use their equipment (large rocks can break tines, etc). This involves walking through a field and loading rocks onto a tractor or truck bed. Rock picking season generally starts on early May and lasts through the end of the month.
High school student 1: May is going to be great! We can play softball at the new diamond.
High school student 2: Unfortunately that's rock picking season so I'll be pretty busy for a few weeks.

My political candidate gives 10% of his income to the needy, goes to church every Sunday, and volunteers one day a week at a homeless shelter. Therefore, he is honest and morally straight.
Explanation: What information was left out of the example is that this same candidate gives 10% of his income to needy prostitutes in exchange for services, goes to the bar every Sunday after church (and sometimes before), and only works at the homeless shelter to get clients for his drug dealing business.
This is a prime example of cherry picking.
