Yay - just saw on the DSM Register website that POTUS is coming to Des Moines again next week and then FLOTUS too, right after that. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2015/09/08/president-obama-visit-des-moines-monday/71894828/ I don’t know why everyone comes to Iowa, but I do enjoy it! :-)
Hi CarolMae - packing for a flight to Minnesota to join my husband for his 50th high school reunion. He took a road trip out there last week with his best friend since 7th grade. We’ll drive back via several National Parks and see our son in Oakland. :)
And more impressive…..Serena is 33 and Venus is 35.
Not ever done, Never to be duplicated, ever.
Had both not had serious health issues for 2-3 yrs respectively, Good Heavens, their domination on and in Tennis would have been out of this Universe.
I was just channel surfing looking for a weather report - it is SO hot here today, in the high 90s - and I stopped at PBS News Hour as Gwen Ifill was talking to some correspondent on the Hill. This woman said that some Dems told her they’ll vote for the deal because they got more assurances from the WH on sanctions but they don’t trust PBO. I turned off my TV immediately. I really can’t stand these people.
in a puddle here at the office…. sniffles what a match. Just like @POTUS, phenomenal one of kind talented human beings. What an honor to be alive in this time and bear witness to their greatness.
This was an absolutely RIVETING game from Venus and Serena. Both sisters brought their A+ Game, and Serena just happened to be the better player tonight.
Yes they were playing S.Dakota, but it was the Kansas St. marching band…taking the Starship Enterprise into the (in-state arch rival Kansas Jayhawk’s) mouth… except it looked more like phallic symbol than a spaceship :lol:
Coach K was very gracious towards the President. Even though he is a RWNJ and has crazy military strategies like Cheney, I kind of like him for those two seconds (rewind a bit)….born in Charlotte, NC I grew up a N.C. State fan and even if you root for the Tarheels everyone hates Duke!!
Congratulations Mr. Bobfr!
This was the most heartfelt game I have ever watched.
How many of us really cared to WATCH tennis before the Williams Sisters?
I loved the sport but it was so boring and sterile.
Thank you to the parents who loved and natured these two sisters despite all of the naysayers and haters.
What a night!
I stayed glued to the TV all night……even the commercials!
They have done so much behind the scene.
Good night TOD!
Thank you NW
Thanks everyone (especially amk) for live tweeting/commenting the Serena vs. Venus match. My nerves will not allow me to watch in real time. Now I can watch it in replay without chewing my nails and taking oxygen.

Sure wish I could be watching this match!!!!!
If anyone finds a video of the match, please post the link!!!!
Bobfr - congratulations on first. Sen. Cantwell finally came through for us. Still puzzled about what took her so long.
Celebration tonight or relaxing? I’m so proud of you and to know someone so dedicated.
Hi CarolMae - packing for a flight to Minnesota to join my husband for his 50th high school reunion. He took a road trip out there last week with his best friend since 7th grade. We’ll drive back via several National Parks and see our son in Oakland. :)
Have fun! Wishing sunshine on your trip.
Will you be going through WY?
Judith welcome to my State. We are having some great weather right now. Cooling off. “;)
big sis ain’t giving up
We have 42 Senators for the Iran Deal, but not letting any so-called Democrats off the hook:
Well done JF!
serena 3-0.
Sen Dick Dubin was just on TRMS.
He was great.
He said, it is over, but they have procedural process to through and they are taking it seriously.
mcnnroe kissing dreck’s ass firmly. uuugghh.
what athleticism from both the sisters.
Just saw a poll on the news (I know) but it showed Hillary has lost 10 points (42%) Joe Biden is 22% and Bernie is 20%.
perfect 4th game from venus. 3-1.
come on serena. crunch time.
The intensity of the match shows how GREAT Serena and Venus are, and how their contemporaries aren’t even on the same level.
We are deliciously spoiled!
And more impressive…..Serena is 33 and Venus is 35.
Not ever done, Never to be duplicated, ever.
Had both not had serious health issues for 2-3 yrs respectively, Good Heavens, their domination on and in Tennis would have been out of this Universe.

I really can’t stand these people.
I heard that same report on their 7:00 hour. I yelled at the TV. :(
Ok, so it wasn’t just my imagination. GRRRRRR!
serena aces to 4-1.
Evidently the announcers are rather crappy ….
I’d just mute the volume - who the hell needs to listen to those fools anyway!!!
They are envious…….as usual.
I am not watching the game…..
Evert and Navatalova(sp) and McEnroe are the worst.
go Serena!
venus wins the sixth. 4-2. great serves from her.
I call cheating! (sarcasm)
this is not doing any good to my bp.
The nerve of Forbes.
For Dudette.
yesss. serena 5-2.
I am watching on ten sports and I don’t know the commentators, but both are very good.
WH Kitchen garden veggies looks good. Sorry folks I can’t watch the match.
Too nervous.
and venus wins the 8th. 5-3.
Come on serena.
match point. come on serena.
aaand it’s dun, dun, done. with ab ace too.
phew. I need a ciggie.
Did Serena win?
yup, yup, yup, yippee.
Are you multitasking? 😉
Great Tennis. Worth getting up at 3 am to watch. Thx sisters.
WHAT. A. MATCH!!!!!!!!!
SERENA WINS!
Thank you for a FANTASTIC game, Serena and Venus!!!!!
G’Nite TOD
The William Sisters……ROCK!
not available in your country. sheesh what a buncha losers. gfy usta. I saw it fucking LIVE.
Great match. Congratulations Serena. Love these ladies so much.
So proud of these Williams ladies. I didn’t watch a bit of the match, but I followed it all the way through. So proud of them. Congratulations Serena.
I didn’t watch it cause I just hate to see them play each other.
*Tears*
a great moment. venus as gracious as ever.
A beautiful moment!!! Thank you NW!!!!!!

They are a national treasure!!!
So happy football season has arrived…
Troll so hard….
The U’s finest
What am I missing in the band performance? They were playing South Dakota. . .
Yes they were playing S.Dakota, but it was the Kansas St. marching band…taking the Starship Enterprise into the (in-state arch rival Kansas Jayhawk’s) mouth… except it looked more like phallic symbol than a spaceship :lol:
Just wondering. . .
😊
SO TRUE “Obama on Coach K’s youthful looks: “He’s got that whole Dorian Gray mirror thing going on.” wonder if Reggie Love was back today
That “I’ll dominate” was fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got to the video, JB :)
Yes!
Coach K was very gracious towards the President. Even though he is a RWNJ and has crazy military strategies like Cheney, I kind of like him for those two seconds (rewind a bit)….born in Charlotte, NC I grew up a N.C. State fan and even if you root for the Tarheels everyone hates Duke!!
Yes, Reggie was there.
Much to my surprise I watch Duke at the WH. As a UNC Tarheels fan it took all the will power to do so.
Two peas in a pod..smh
NY tennis fans love desis :)
I love that guy! He tells the funniest story about meeting PBO.
He’s the best…PBO has got some burns too :)
Congratulations Mr. Bobfr!
This was the most heartfelt game I have ever watched.

Thanks everyone (especially amk) for live tweeting/commenting the Serena vs. Venus match. My nerves will not allow me to watch in real time. Now I can watch it in replay without chewing my nails and taking oxygen.
I am happy to report that I’m pretty sure (don’t pin me down) that this is the most I’ve written about Perry during this entire campaign cycle:
