"cooking a grenade"--which means holding onto it a few seconds after pulling the pin so it explodes as it lands.
Well, I ran across this article, which is a preview to the upcoming Rolling Stone article by Matt Taibbi with a breathtaking savaging by John Boehner on the unemployed and poor. I can't wait to read the full story. Talk about "booooom":

"Can't pay your student loan? Face it your parents were lazy and you couldn't afford college. The world needs ditch diggers and you were born into a family of them. Can't pay your mortgage? Your house was too expensive and you couldn't afford it. Your taxes going up too much? That's what you get for electing a democrat president. Never had a job after you got a degree? You learned nothing in school and you're lazy. I didn't get to be a congressman by watching jersey shore or playing xbox. You think there's no jobs for you? There used to be. There was when I was your age. You don't have fee time because you have to work all days of the week for 16 hours a day and you don't get paid hourly? Thank the unions. They made decent jobs so out of price range of the average American company that they can't hire anymore people and the works' gotta get done. These unions... I tell you they won't be happy till no one in America has a job.
