Good Lord. Who would want to listen to the homophobic rantings of a hate-inspired crusty old mummy who took mediocre nude pictures of her va-jay-jay that has haunted the internet since 1998? She's as appealing as a Coprophiliac's smile after sex.

Which begs the question, is smile about hidden knowledge called a sh!t-eating grin?

True....but it would make the never-ending cycle of news out of Cuba not seem so bad

Both Obama and McCain are lefties. So as it stands now, there's a very good chance that the new President will be a lefty. Depending on if you count Regan or not (he wrote with his right hand, but it's widely believed he was among the many of his generation forced to switch when young...might explain his somewhat odd way of speaking), that would make either 4 or 5 of the last 7. Significantly out of proportion with the percentage of lefties in the population over that period. However looking at the full history of the US, prior to Ford, there had been only 3, so the current run is just making up for decades of under-representation.

I wonder for the older ones how many of them had it trained out of them as children for reasons of superstition.

Statistically, there's a good chance that there were at least a couple.

James Garfield was ambidextrous.

I thought that was James Buchanan.

Kind of a neat article I found today that reinforces what I was saying about the importance of a candidate's ability to build and lead their campaign team:

No Garfield was the one who could write in Latin and Greek simultaneously using both hands.
