The stamina and breadth of knowledge that this man posesses, not to mention the grace under pressure — and just plain grace — are quite amazing.
First — he goes to the so-called lion’s den and schools the GOP brain trust at their annual retreat (well done Mr. President).

I added a new site to my links:  She’s a Baller – all things having to do with women’s b-ball.  In the course of doing that, I saw the sad news that Kay Yow has died at age 66, after a long battle with Breast cancer.
