    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.

    The florist was all out of tulips, but he still loves his first lady like a shark loves blood. In this metaphor, Frank is the shark and the blood is still blood.

    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.
