END OF THE WEEK:
Happy 2 a.m. everybody! I'm not sure if this is the I've ever posted at such a time in the day, but there is one thing that I do know: you readers probably prefer this column to be posted now than on Sunday nights, a full 24 hours after I traditionally do so. So, let's get started! From important elections to NBA championships to even cool mashups of famous movies, here are the best and most memorable moments from the week beginning on June 17th:
Verdict of the Week: Jerry Sandusky- Guilty on 45 of His 48 Charges
And with this, the scandal that shook a university and their football program at least meets a desired conclusion.
Internet Meme of the Week: "Skeptical Third World Kid"
You can just tell from his expression that this kid has heard enough humanitarian aid talking points in his lifetime.
Video of the Week: "Lead Breakfast ('Pulp Fiction' Remix)"
I wish that this video was named Honey Bunny, so that I can tell it how much I love it.
Celebrity Doppelganger of the Week:1960's Female Judy Zipper
whose high school photo was re-discovered by the grandchild of one of her old classmates, and bares a very uncanny resemblance to a young Leonardo DiCaprio. I wonder if she was ever married, and how that husband felt seeing DiCaprio for the first time in the mid-'90s.
Stories of the Week:
-The Actual Story of the Week: Egypt Awaits Official Results of First Post-Mubarak Democratic Election
After it was declared that first Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi and then former Egyptian air force general Ahmed Shafik had both won the popular vote, the country's presidential election commission decided to delay the official vote count announcement until Sunday. It's a very critical election for this Middle Eastern nation, they're first since Hosni Mubarak (who at one point this week was proclaimed to be clinically dead) was taken out of power, and one that could very well bring serious tension if Morsi wins between the 'Brotherhood' and the independent Egyptian army that served as the ruling body following last year's revolution.
-The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week: Woman Beats Up Husband For Having a Collection of "The Onion" Newspapers
I don't want to think about what she would've done if there was actual porn.
Executive Privilege of the Week: Barack Obama on the "Fast and Furious" Documents

Person of the Week: Miami Heat's Lebron James
who finally claimed the elusive NBA championship that he had been waiting for after nine years in the league thanks to his team defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Finals in five games, featuring a dominating 15 point victory to clinch. In addition, James also earned the honors of NBA Finals MVP, thanks to a 28.6 point, 10 rebound performance through the series. It marks a big important in James' career, a culmination of a two year journey following The Decision that included a huge spotlight and a constant day-to-day scrutiny never seen before in the history of the NBA, ending with his first title and one less thing to be criticized by his haters. I can imagine that there was plenty of relief from him to have his decision to play with Miami turn out to be a good one after all.
And that's the way it was! See you when I see you!
