It might be hard to believe that US on-line broadcasting from
Wimbledon could be so stupid as to suppress live coverage of the
defending women's singles champion's semifinal match but that's what
it looks like now to this viewer.
At this moment 08:39 PDT the Wimbledon site*
tells me that Venus Williams leades D.Safina 4 games to 0 in the first
set. ESPN & NBC --who share the US monopoly-- have swallowed their
tongues. SonnaBush & Dan Quayle are alive & thriving in the Executive
Suite of these companies.

The match between Serena Williams vs. Elena Dementieva was glorious.
Already on rst the first nameless pissant posters from pestland have
made their appearance to whine about the winner.
Saturday looks like another all-Williams Day.
