Witness to Excellence

I'm watching Jeopardy! right now. Ken Jennings is simply remarkable. It's literally like watching Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan in their primes. Scratch that: it's better. I have never seen anyone better at what he does than Jennings is at Jeopardy!. Not in sports, not in art, not in politics, or science. His streak is truly a celebration of human excellence, and, in its own stupid way, it's one of the great accomplishments of our time.
