Michael Phelps, America's Superman

The Olympics brings out the patriot and sports fan in all of us--especially since the winningest Olympian ever is from the United States. Last night, Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps won his eleventh Olympic gold medal and smashed two more world records, including the men's 200-meter butterfly with water-filled goggles. Huge congratulations to Phelps, who is arguably the greatest athlete in the world.
