The Sinister Sunday.

Listed on humor-blogs.com…

A day late, but still in time for titular alliteration (that sounds naughty…) welcome to the Sinister Saturday: The Special Sinister Sunday Edition!!! Man, I suck…really, I’m just awful.

As always – and now in its monumental second week – I will do a quick roll through the news that I liked, but did not like enough to use as the basis for a full post. Then, because I love each and every one of you like a precious desert flower, I will give a point to some blogs that I think that you must read if you are to flourish as a human person.

The Sinister Six

1. General David Petraeus testified before Congress. This means that Petraeus was subjected to eight-minute-long questions in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Since he had a day in between sessions, the General was free to find more nuanced ways to avoid explaining failure. It says a great many things about American politics that the only decent question came from a very old man who is retiring. While the departing John Warner made Petraeus look like a grad student defending his thesis, Barack Obama asked a question so lengthy that it appeared to be a campaign speech. Oh wait, I get it…

2. Bill Belichick, coach of the NFL’s New England Patriots and a bona fide Sith Lord was fined $500 000 for allowing his staff to film the defensive coaches of the New York Jets. The New York Jets? The Jets needed to be cheated to lose in the same was that you’d need to trick a squeegee guy to take your money. Word is that Bill was so upset that he trashed the training facility with purple lightning.

3.OJ “I’m not a vicious murderer” Simpson was arrested for a crime that is not going to become a really terrible book; apparently trying to retrieve some of his personal memorabilia from a casino. After all, a guy who didn’t murder his wife would have no reason to sell signed bits of crap under the table to avoid the thirty billion dollar civil penalty pinned on him when he didn’t have Johnny Cochrane in the room. Of course, given OJ’s history with the law, it would never occur to him that he’d be able to commit a crime and get away with it.

4. Since I waited until Sunday to write this, I got to see John McCain (R-Old and Busted) debate John Kerry (D-Dead and Loving It) debate on Meet the Press. This was a cruel joke. Of the two, Kerry was clearly the more concise as he knew full well that he would not win the upcoming presidential election.
5. A decidedly less than toned Britney Spears performed at the VMAs. Looking bloated and slightly confused, Spears appauled. While the reviews were bad, I can honestly say that she did not soil herself. There’s always and upside, people…

6. In a story that we know involves a woman soiling herself, the astronaut who traveled across the US in a diaper was commended by Buzz Aldrin for her resolve. We now have far more insight into what you do for kicks after have been to the moon.

You will no doubt be thrilled to visit some of this week’s blogs that tickled my fancy. As always, please drop in on them and give a visit to humor-blogs.com.

The Second Sinister Six

1. Howard, benevolent proprietor of The Web Pen Blog gives us some video goodness in the form of the latest from They Might Be Giants. This is serious nostalgia for me, and serves as a reminder of the dangers of writing your politics to music instead of adding a dash of politics into a song.
2. Ev Nucci, the mistress of My Life is Murphy’s Law has landed here, but potentially for the wrong reasons. There is some evidence that she might have stolen my favorite fountain pen. That pen really tied the room together.
3. I was going to give Karl Wolfbrooks at Faking Smart! a shout for saying things about Brett Favre, but instead, I wanted to highlight this newer and far creepier post. Creepier than the Green Bay Packers? Yup.
4. Just A Cool Cat proposes the best mandate for NASA leadership that I have heard of since the demise of Mars Direct. However, Mr. Cat, what about the limes? Where do the limes go?
5. Brent at The Ominous Comma (probably my favorite blog name ever…) announces with linguistic dexterity, that he has been named to the elite brotherhood of the… Go read the damn thing yourself.
6. While I normally don’t read book reviews, Aunt Bea at Central Snark offers one worth the time. Apparently a grave mistake was made, and the terrible and all powerful Diesel was asked for his two cents. The tragic result is a fine read.
