Not always left behind

Beyond confirming that Katie Couric is leaving for CBS, NBC's "Today Show" this morning reporting something really important:

For all the grief southpaws take from a right-handed world, left-handed men make more money than right-handed men, according to a study (probably by a lefty).

Over a lifetime, a researcher says, lefty men make an additional $100,000 over their lifetimes.

Which, by the way, are shorter than the average lifetime for righties.

I guess there ought to be some consoluton for having to check out early.

Is anyone else confused as to why CBS wanted to hire Couric? She doesn't really seem to be a journalist so much as a personality.

Dudley, it's because Couric is the only personality CBS could find that's actually more liberal than "Red" Dan Rather.

Freddy Niché said:

She's a lot nicer to look at every night that lop-sided-faced Brit Hume, though.
