Heard Jimmy Carter make his statement on his condition on the radio today. I can only hope to be as mentally cogent and lucid when I reach his age, not to mention as emotionally composed in dealing with such a dire prognosis.

Regarding alleged disrespect to Carter in this thread, I offer this as a counter:

If one wished for an example of grace under pressure, just look at Carter and how he has dealt with the bad hands he has been dealt...
