Roger v. Andy

Thermometer Test

Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

I feel like I ought to have a post about the Federer vs. Roddick match at Wimbledon today, but I have oddly little to say. The fact is, despite the spectacular final score, it didn’t feel like that great a match to me. Roddick dropping six consecutive points in the second set tiebreaker set a bad tone, and the rest of the match was basically just a serve-a-thon. That’s Wimbledon for you, of course, but in the end it just didn’t have the feel of an epic contest. How is that possible for something that ended 16-14 in the fifth? I’m not sure.

Still, it was great to see Federer get #15. If Nadal doesn’t get his bum knee back in shape soon, Federer is going to end his career with a grand slam record somewhere in the 20s. Amazing.
