Presidential Lefties

According to a number of articles yesterday there is an interesting propensity for left handers to sit in the white house. Now with 10 to 15% of the population left handed, it is quite a surprise that Gerald Ford, Ron Reagan, Senior Bush and Bill Clinton were all lefties. Plus James Garfield and Harry Truman.

Wine Tasting

It's hard to determine the right pinot grigio these days. What with watching for Hillary Clinton's head to explode, waiting for McCain to choose a VP, planning your movie watching Memorial Day weekend, working on your dissertation or touring europe you just can't beat a good bottle or two of pinot.

Gary Vaynerchuk at winelibrarytv is fun, amazing and you gotta love him for bringing wine tasting to a whole new monster truck rally sort of level. To hear him describe one wine for it's aluminum foil taste is a proletariat delight. I personally laughed out loud at the fried bananas reference.

Nothing like a good bottle of vino:
