4. No it is their repuke way of not focusing on the important
They did not mention the Missing explosives. They did not mention any of the things that went on this weekend, in the campaign. But Oh did you know that Kerry is right handed as well as President Bush. I am tired of these people not reporting the issues, and giving the area a true sense of what is going on in this country.

5. But I thought left-handed people were 'sinister'
Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 10:55 AM by nownow
The root of the word 'sinister' means coming from the left, or unlucky (according to Merriam-Webster's online dic). I'm sure this all comes from the usual superstitions about people who were different from the vast majority -- if they were different, of course they were to be feared.

On edit -- Mr. Nownow is left-handed, I always got a kick out of how the language reveals old superstitions about such things.

6. A right-handed candidate... What are the odds?
Is their next story going to feature the fact that Kerry is white?
