Debate Lexicon: VP Edition

You might think that because tonight's debate was merely a  VICE-Presidential debate, it would be a bit easier to follow. Not so, my fellow Americans. Back by popular demand, I am happy to present to you:

Earlene's Guide to Complicated Political Jargon, Volume 2

Joe Six-Pack: By frequently referencing "Joe Six-Pack", Palin is reaching out to a previously un-tapped voting demographic: Personal trainers, Body builders, and all around gym rats. "Joe Six-Pack" is severely affected by the recent economic crisis: protein shakes are very expensive. 

Maverick: A motherless calf. By repeatedly referring to John McCain as a maverick, Sarah Palin, a mother herself, is clearly going after the sympathy vote. Despite having promised herself not to adopt any more stray neopets, Earlene took pity on the maverick gnarlrod, and adopted him anyway.

Self-Regulation: (See also Deregulation, regulate, regulation, deregulate) Joe Biden stressed the importance of " regulation and letting the free market move." I think this has something to do with what Jamie Lee Curtis talks about in Activia commericals.

Scranton, Pennsylvania: Secretly THE MOST IMPORTANT TOWN IN AMERICA, as it is constantly mentioned in almost every single election event.

Bridge to Nowhere: A colloquialism that means "heading nowhere good". "You are on a bridge to nowhere using that attitude with me, young lady!" said Mrs. Watts.

Surge: Only the BEST SODA EVER!!! Similar to Mountain Dew. I was usually not allowed to have it, because it made me crazy.

Senator O'Biden: By calling Joe Biden "Senator O'Biden", Palin was merely giving a live demonstration of her diplomatic capabilities, for example, when discussing all the pressing issues between Ireland and the United States with Irish diplomats, she will know how to address them.

Home Depot: Important meeting spot where Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates chillax, buy some wood, and talk to fellow home-repair enthusiasts about the state of the nation.

Kitchen Table: Basically, a "situation room" for the modern American family. "Honey, our Verizon bill is two hundred dollars over, this month. And Fido has cancer. I need you at the Kitchen Table, stat."

Two-steak solution: Basically the only way to solve the conflict between Israel and Palestine:  Take the President of Israel and the President of Palestine to Flemings, order two steaks and maybe a side of Mac'N'Cheese and let them work it out.
