    No. Those guesses are dumb. Here are some of the things we think it could be and it definitely is —

    Who would snarl at a balloon? Frank Underwood would snarl at a balloon.

    This is another metaphor about striking your enemies when they least expect it. Basically, if Frank Underwood mentions an animal in a story, the animal is him. Unless it's a dog. Dogs are weak.

    Frank Underwood wants to create 10 million jobs, bring peace to the Middle East, and get re-elected all in 18 months. Sounds like three wishes to us!

    The blue robot represents Congress, or possibly Russia.

    A Bart

    "Why you little!" From The Simpsons (Fox). You can still watch Bart and all the Simpsons every Sunday P.M. on the channel of Fox.
