In looking into it a bit more (really, what better have I to do with my time than look into stupid stuff), apparently he only writes left handed and does pretty much everything else right handed. Well, past tense of course.

Sounds like a conflicted soul to me. Someone should make a movie about it. One of those "part of two communities but accepted by neither" movies. It'll be quite touching.

Pen ink is definitely one of those technologies that has, unremarkedly, com a long way over the last 20 years. I went through my teen years with the outside of my left hand covered in smudged ink. Now, only the cheapest of cheap pens cause that problem (and all "erasable" ink pens).

The big problem wasn't that I couldn't get the proper angle on cursive writing (I never had any problem with that) but rather that non-ball point pens are designed to be pulled across the paper while writing rather than pushed and frequently don't work so well.

But that isn't an excuse since most of the lefties I knew who wrapped around did so long before we were allowed to use pens in school. Self-loathing bastards.

Babette: See previous three words.

(All of this is in good humor of course, I really don't care much. Just seeing a president do it kind of struck me like "nukular" does other people.)

I'm a straight ahead, dig holes in the paper leftie myself.

Ahhhh. I get it. I thought it was something political. Thanks.

I don't like the title to this thread. :confused: Even if it means what I think it means, it's kinda tacky.

Alex, it seems as if I am a victim of wishful thinking. (Ha, no surprise there.) I have reviewed a few books which discuss the twilight-years correspondence between Jefferson and Adams ... and I can't find a mention or a quote of them writing to each other about mutually or individually surviving until the Fiftieth Anniversary of July 4, 1776.

I think I dreamed it.

But, by God ... that's good enough for me!

So, is Sadam going to be the 3rd???

I don't know if murders and executions count. I think you have to drop dead to be considered.

oh wait.

I don't know if that is sick, or funny.

Or sickly funny.

Or...

I'm soo confuuused!

But in a good mood. So, it's funny.

Thanks Matt.

I'm just glad it's over and Sadam got what he deserved.
