I'm going to have to go find Hilary's speech and watch it for myself.
I've always admired the biathlon
I've always thought that one of the reasons ashtanga yoga made so much sense to me (it's huge on linking a breath to a movement) was because of my experience target shooting and having to pay attention to the inhale/exhale/heartbeat/when to squeeze the trigger. When meetings are driving me nuts and a I need to zone out I will sit there and figure out where my breath & heartbeat are so I'd know when I could shoot a tranquilizer dart into the speaker and get the hell outta there.
I'm not sure it's the most mentally healthy visualization technique out there, but it gets me through.

Heh -- I just finished re-reading a Jack Reacher book in which that featured heavily.

You know - there might be some survival value to being able to gallop a pony while holding an egg in a spoon. You never know.

Any of the Democrats are lesser evils than McCain. Don't think any of them are ready for or have faced the full extent of the mess Bush has left them. (Or maybe they all have, but can't really hint at it because that wouldn't be being positive. And not being positive is practically a criminal offense in the 21st century US. Turn that frown upside down. Or else.)
Hey, watch the negativity. Next thing you know you'll be saying that we can't cut taxes, increase defense spending, and balance the budget all at the same time and that would be unamerican.

Well, not if the egg is smashed.
That's what I was saying. It may not be a survival skill for you to be able to carry the egg, but for the chicken...
Chickens suck at equestrian.
