A little unlucky to win the first set, Venus Williams clicnhed her first season ending championships with a 6-7(5),6-0, 6-2 over Vera Zvonareva.
“I’m so excited,” Williams said. “That was a hard-fought match, every point, right down to the end.”

Question to MSNBC's Alex Witt, You're Kidding, Right?

One of MSNBC's many questionable anchors, Alex Witt is prone to ask things that make you say, "How do she get the job she has?" (Though I would also ask the same of her producers, because this one will straight baffle you.) You'll ask that question or the title's question when you read what she asked this morning to some lady from the Daily Beast. "Is Sonia Sotomayor getting Sarah Palin'ed?" Amazing, isn't it?

The best movie of 2010 is deserving the big winner of the weekend. I guess those higher prices for 3-D helps in the money being large of course. "How To Train Your Dragon" grossed $43 million in week one, and the high acclaims for this outstanding movie have now stopped. If you didn't love this movie, then you should not only be banned from writing any more movie reviews ever again, but from writing all things in general.
