      CBC News In Depth: Science: Why are so many U.S. presidents southpaws?

      Posted by Jwgardner from CBC

      Is it just coincidence or is there something more sinister in the fact that four of the last six American presidents have been left-handed? Bill Clinton, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr. all used their left hands for everything from brushing their teeth to signing their names and, on occasion, shaking hands. As it turns out, the two front-runners for their respective parties' presidential nominations today, Barack Obama and John McCain, are lefties as well.

      CBC chairman quits after controversial interview

      Posted by Billbar from Canada

      Guy Fournier raised eyebrows recently with an article in the popular magazine Sept Jours in which he suggested that bestiality was accepted in Lebanon as long as it was with a female animal. Fournier subsequently apologized for the comments, saying he had been mistaken. Fournier once again raised eyebrows when a lengthy interview he granted to a Toronto community radio station, CHOQ-FM, last May came to light in which he extolled the pleasures of defecating. ''The most extraordinary thing is that, in the end, as you grow older, you continue to go poop once a day if you are in good health, while it is not easy to make love every day. So finally, the pleasure is longer lasting and more frequent than the other.'' 'I think he was the victim of his own turpitude,'' Liberal MP Denis Coderre said. ''He flushed himself.''
