Following the (Kokomo)town hall, he will play in a 3-on-3 pick-up basketball game tomorrow evening. Marion high school junior Blake Hancock and Indiana University-Kokomo freshman Kory McKay collected voter registration forms from new voters to qualify for the “3-on-3 Challenge for Change” and will join Obama, two of Hancock’s friends and the WNBA Indiana Fever’s Alison Bales for the game. The Fever’s Tamika Catchings, an Olympic gold medalist, will referee. The event will be open press. We will pool the national cameras due to space limitations.

Seeing your signature photo of Colbert reminds me that tonight is the Washington Correspondents' Dinner, and Colbert's awesome performance there--which will never be matched!

18. She's tall but her feet are tiny for her size.
Makes you almost wonder how she remains upright.

20. He's way better at this than bowling!
He shouldn't have tried for a three pointer and taken out the snack bar. (Yeah, I'm repeating it, but I think it's really funny.)

21. Ever watch him play basketball?
He can't bring any game against real players....he dribbles the ball way too high. He'd get it stolen from him.

(Hey now that's a phrase to remember...."He'd get it stolen from him.")
