Terrorist Faux Pas
Rule #11 in the Terrorist Handbook:
When naming your organization, pick a name whose acronym won't make you the laughing stock of terrorists everywhere. I'm looking at you Moro Islamic Liberation Front of the Philippines.
I formed my own subversive group a few years ago: Sinister Operatives' Underhanded Threats Helping Pervert the American Way, or S.O.U.T.H.P.A.W. for short. I wondered if I should've said Sinistral instead, but most people wouldn't understand it, I think. I haven't issued any communiques in a while, I've been thinking of firing up one or three before the election.

Well, if it WAS Sinistral instead of Sinister, I suppose you'd have to be lefthanded, for starters... Hmmm, can you write good tongue in cheek leftish screeds which actually serve to shine the light of day on malevolent marxist misbehavior? Alliteration is a plus!
Remember, folks, you can't spell "douche" without "Che."

I'm a lefty, and I can always borrow stuff from the puppet on the Red State Update.
