Sarah, tell everyone why you have an Israeli flag in your office.

This is so important for women like me. Women who've looked for an American Thatcher to rise. A self-made woman, who isn't just riding on "a woman's right to choose" and "equal pay for equal work." A true woman, not a political playing card.

I'm psyched.

I think she's handled more money than Obama can even dream of.

But probably not in cash, like Obama has.

Exactly right. If you see someone at a restaurant wearing one of those, pay their check. I love the looks on their faces when the wait staff tells them that someone who appreciates their family's sacrifice has already paid.

Is it possible to hit 2 grand slams in an inning?

Yes

The only major leaguer to hit two grand slams in one inning is Fernando Tatis of the St. Louis Cardinals, who did so on April 23, 1999 in a road game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, with both grand slams coming off Chan Ho Park in the third inning.
