FSM forbid we should ever have a President who writes with his LEFT hand either!!

This is the curse of the media. Even when there's nothing to talk about, they have to find something to talk about. Most of the time what they find can be summed up in one of my mother's phrases, "You could have talked all day and not said that."

When you're up to your ass in alligators, it's hard to remember that your primary objective was to drain the swamp.

But they could be talking about the latest alternative energy technology discovery. Cure for cancer news. I think the problem is that the producers are themselves so limited in what they read that they stick to that.

The American public would be interested in anything they tell us to be interested in. Seriously. ;-)

Wow, Drudge reports that Osama Bin Laden is left handed, too!!!

Coincidence???

I think not.

My brother is left-handed.  The nuns used to tie his left hand behind his back to force him to learn how to write right-handed.  Apparently left-handedness is a sign of the devil.

Some days when my left-handed grandson is forcing Grandma or Daddy to go to school, again, to pick him up from the principal's office, I think you may have something there.

Actually he's a pretty sweet kid who's just a bit high-maintenance and needs attention once in a while. When I get a few moments this week or next I have every intention of taking one of my ukuleles and re-stringing it for a left-handed player to see if I can get him started playing.

I've already thought about that one; sinister is derived from the same root as sinistral, i.e., left handed.
