US Open: Henin-Hardenne Wins; Chocolate Makers Banner!!
Justine Henin-Hardenne just won the US OPEN tennis tournament's women's title, defeating fellow Belgian Kim Clijsters.

During the ceremony, the CBS cameras focussed on the Belgian cheering section which unfurled a Belgian flag with the words "The Chocolate Makers" screaming off its face!

Winning and placing in the US Open...$1.5 million ($1million winner, $500,000 runner up)

Rubbing the stupid right-wingers and their idiotic "Chocolate maker" comments in it ...priceless!!

1. Every turd that falls from the Bushies' mouths
gets flung right back at them. Way to go with that banner!

2. I was rooting for Kim
I fear she will never win a big one--there are too many above her. That includes Capriati, who obviously has the most talent on the women's tour (I'm including Serena) but her head needs to get on straight.

That said, I'm glad they're rubbing our faces in it. I'm cheering for Juan-Carlos tomorrow--I like Roddick, but somebody needs to shut that obnoxious people in the stands up!

3. I absolutely loathe Andy Roddick
not because of his game which - though a bit one-sided - is competitive in the current state of tennis.

No, I'm afraid he's just too much of a no-class punk for my taste. His personailty - what there is of it - seems so republican to me, what with the hot-headed, crowd-baiting crap. Jimmy Connors did that routine so much better as did McEnroe.

Now that I've said that, I imagine someone is going to tell me that Roddick is actually a big Howard Dean supporter!!

5. He doesn't seem political to me, he just seems like an idiot.
Like a spoiled kid who's never been disciplined for anything and who's been told he's the shit his whole life.
