So… I just finally got to watch the all-around in the women’s competition and my homegirls Nastia and Shawn made me proud.Â? My homeboys on the men’s team overcoming all the naysayers and getting the bronze made me happy too.

Then… I get off TIVO and the IM relay is on live and I see Michael Phelps get his 8th gold medal.Â? That boy is goooooooood.

The leadership of my country might suck but my athletes are making me proud to be American today.
