A sitcom airing on ABC from 1988 to 1995. The sitcom starred Bob Saget as Danny Tanner, a San Francisco widowed father of 3 who gets help raising his daughters from his brother-in-law Jessie (John Stamos) and best friend Joey (Dave Coulier). As the show progresses more characters are added who eventually live with the Tanners. John Stamos' character, Jessie Kotsopolous married Rebecca Donaldson in season 4 and they move into the attic. They had twin sons in the last 2 seasons. For some reason the central character Danny Tanner, never remarried when the show was cancelled.
Full House was one of those popular sitcoms that orginiated in the 1980s and tv has reached its lowest ebb since sitcoms from that era were cancelled.

John Boehner (R-OH), who is the current Speaker-elect of the House of Representatives, soon to take the gavel in place of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). He earned this nickname courtesy of Joy Behar for crying repeatedly while on camera.
On several occasions, shortly after the 2010 mid-term election, Mr. Boehner was shown crying while giving a speech in front of fellow party members, talking about the "American Dream". Then, a few more times (again) during an interview with CBS' Lesley Stahl, Mr. Boehner starts crying when recalling his days of sweeping the floors of an old bar he used to work for... then cries again when talking about kids "running around" and having a chance at the "American Dream"... and finally, one more time when sitting next to his wife during the interview, he starts crying because, as his wife explains, "he's going through an emotional time", possibly referencing his transition to becoming Weeper... I mean, Speaker.
Now, ladies and gentleman, I am proud to introduce: the new Weeper of the House... John Boehner!
*quiet applause, as Boehner weeps*

adj. A Presidential line within the Queen Margaret Union, Glasgow, that began in 2003 when Mr A. Deutsch took office. Subsequent Presidents noted as part of the House of Deutsch include Mr J. McHale (2005) and Mr G. Brady (2007). Continuation of the House is still possible, as vestiges of the Deutsch mentality still exist.
This mentality is characterised by stark opposition to the rival House of Bates, which has yet to achieve Presidential status.
A: Dude, look at the way he acts in Board Meetings - he's totally House of Deutsch
B: Better Deutsch than Bates.
