"Just what we need, another ego-crazed billionaire with zero experience in government who thinks he is destined to be president. What could go wrong?" Eugene Robinson writes in Opinions.
"The term "bend sinister" means a heraldic bar or band drawn from the left side (and popularly, but incorrectly, supposed to denote bastardy). This choice of title was an attempt to suggest an outline broken by refraction, a distortion in the mirror of being, a wrong turn taken by life, a sinistral and sinister world.
Sinister v dexterous. Commie v Tory. The difference between left and right carries more meaning to human beings than mere matters of handedness and symmetry. And so it is with man's best friend as well. For in dogs, too, left and right signal different things. Specifically, it is in the way they wag their tails http://econ.st/HwZHY0

Aren't the contraception-crazed bishops the real pills here?
On Nov. 24, 1963, Jack Ruby shot and mortally wounded Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of President Kennedy.
The game came to England from continental Europe and its name derives from the word 'left', which is 'lurtsch' in dialect German and 'loyrtz' in Middle Dutch. Why call a game 'left'? The most plausible explanation (and regular readers will know that, in etymology, plausibility isn't everything) is that it relates to the bad feeling against the left hand that was then commonplace in many cultures. In English we have held on to this with the word 'sinister', which of course just means 'left-handed'.A reader in Paris responded, ''Kickbacks in French are 'pots de vin.''' Apparently a jug of wine is the metaphor for a more substantial percentage of the payment corruptly returned. This is done dessous de table, which Americans understand as ''under the table.'' A reader in La Jolla, Calif., Eric Naegle, noted that an Arabic or Turkish word -- baksheesh -- which sometimes means ''tip, gratuity,'' is also understood in France to describe a more sinister payment.

Liev Schreiber's beautifully narrated audio tour to the exhibit notes how some in Soviet Russia recognized a veiled depiction of a sinister Stalin in Mikhoels's mad Lear. Eventually, years after this triumphant Yiddish run of Shakespeare's play, Mikhoels was set up for assassination by Stalin's orders, then given a huge state funeral國葬 as if he'd died accidentally.

[French, from Medieval Latin assassīnus, from Arabic ḥaššāšīn, pl. of ḥaššāš, hashish user, from ḥašīš, hashish. See hashish.]
WORD HISTORY Active in Persia and Syria from the 8th to 14th centuries, the original Assassins were members of the Nizaris, a Muslim group who opposed the Abbasid caliphate with threats of sudden assassination by their secret agents. Other populations of the area regarded the Nizaris as unorthodox outcasts, and from this attitude came one of the names for the group, ḥaššāšīn, a word originally meaning "hashish users," which had become a general term of abuse. Reliable sources offer no evidence of hashish use by Nizari agents, but sensationalistic stories of murderous, drug-crazed ḥaššāšīn or Assassins were widely repeated in Europe. Marco Polo tells a tale of how young Assassins were given a potion and made to yearn for paradise-their reward for dying in action-by being given a life of pleasure. As the legends spread, the word ḥaššāšīn passed through French or Italian and appeared in English as assassin in the 16th century, already with meanings like "treacherous killer."
