On Hillary's Strength

Hillary Clinton was asked a peculiar question by Katie Couric. How does she find the strength to run?

Hillary attributed to quite a few things. She drinks tea to stay alert. She now avoids diet soda, which she used to drink prodigiously. She washes her hands a lot (you often get sick when you touch some germs then rub your eyes and nose). She eats chilies (spicy stuff). She drinks a lot of water.

Humans are still trying to figure out what makes their lives optimal. How can they get on by on less sleep? How can they get sick less? How can they concentrate better? We don't have great answers, and those answers may vary from person to person.

I found that part of the interview more compelling that the other kinds of questions she got (of course, neither her nor Obama had many questions on where they stood on this topic or that, except Iraq).
