Here's an interesting US politics trivia trend:

Did you know that George W. Bush is the first right-handed US President since Jimmy Carter? (Carter's immediate predecessor Gerald Ford was left-handed as well.)

And that in the 1992 race, all three main competitors--George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot--were left-handed?

If the 2008 race shakes out to be Barack Obama vs. John McCain (which certainly seems to be the way it's going), the next President will be left-handed, either way.

Only somewhere between 10 and 15% of the general population is left-handed. (I'm not, I just find this interesting.) Let the conspiracy theories begin! (or, y'know, not).
