Wimbledon, or Live Earth?

Updated

Right now I'm here at casa de Fausta looking at the TV in the kitchen. Two things are on:
Venus Williams and Marion Bartoli are slugging it out on the court. Great match.
Some girls in tight clothes with thin voices are singing on Live Earth in front of a Definitely.NOT,Carbon.Neutral wall of lightbulbs.

On the one hand, a really good tennis match. On the other hand, a vacuous exhibition of symbolic tokenistic behavior.

You know what I'm watching.

But fret not, Tim Blair and Mark Steyn are covering LE for you.

I'll be enjoying the beautiful Summer day after the game is over - have a wonderful day!

Update, Tuesday 10 July:
Via The Corner, we might have a consensue
The BBC blamed the poor figures on Saturday's good weather and said its Wimbledon tennis coverage had drawn away afternoon viewers.
You heard it here first.

Digg!

Where will Al Gore-bot show up? Not at his stoned slacker namesake's arraignment, which is such a "private matter" that Daddy is not even going to make a token appearance.

And the MSM is too busy chasing ancient urban legends about Fred Thompson to follow another story of the Gorezilla's lack of moral character.

By all reasonable expectations, Live Earth was a colossal failure as well it should have been given all the damage to the earth these idiots made in putting it on. I mean really, using ten houses electrical budget just for lighting, not to mention the burning of fuel to get to the various concerts via private jet and limo's.

This only proves that this is a "let me feel good" exercise not based in reality, or in thought.
