We are the most discriminated against people in the history of the world. Since the beginning of time it's been going on. There are no laws against keeping us down, no activist groups, no lobbying for rights - most people don't even know the discrimination is going on even though they see it every day.From the moment I picked up my Crayola crayon with the "wrong" hand I joined the 11 percent of pe
Crocodile Tears and Cow Flatulenceby Nancy MorganRight BiasOur government is jumping aboard the global warming bandwagon in a big way. Ignoring any facts to the contrary, they continue to fuel a juggernaut that will result in more government, more taxes, more 'crises' and more useful idiots.Even Republicans are on board, with John McCain turning green with a twist guaranteed to garner liberal
Numbers Tell the Tale For HittersEvery scouting report you read about the Mets details their most glaring weakness - an inability to hit left-handed pitching.At one time, that may have been true, but it is no longer the case. Through the first 37 games of this season, the Mets have hit .283 against left-handed pitching and only .248 vs right-handers.The irony goes a bit further when you look at t
Congress has delayed its August recess, due to start today, in order to finish important business on FISA (the shady Foreign Intelligence Surveillence Act that would widen the White House’s authority to wiretap), the energy bill (containing abundant efficiency and renewable energy standards), a defense spending bill, emergency funds for Minneapolis, and child healthcare.

Since I am either left handed or at best ambidextrous, this article caught my attention.The gene that likely makes people left-handed may slightly raise the risk of developing psychotic mental illnesses, according to an international study.Led by the Wellcome Trust for Human Genetics at the University of Oxford, the study involves a team of 40 scientists from 20 research centres across the world, and was published online Tuesday in the scientific journal Molecular Psychiatry."This is the first potential genetic influence on human handedness to be identified, and the first putative genetic effect on variability in human brain asymmetry," said an abstract on the study.The scientists said that little is known about the gene LRRTM1, but they suspect that it modifies symmetry in the human brain. Asymmetry is important, since the left side of the brain usually controls speech and language and the right side controls emotion. With left-handers this pattern is often reversed.Personally, I wish
