The Williams sisters, regularly seen bulldozing and bellowing their way to hollow victories, sending bloodcurdling cries and bullet-like shots over to opponents whose names they don't care to pronounce threw a hissy fit the other day, complaining that there had been a 'conspiracy' as they were shunted onto Court No 2. Maybe someone was trying to tell them something?
Said Serena Williams "They like to put us on Court No.2 for whatever reason...actually, Venus and I have won more Wimbledon together than a lot of other players... I don't make a big issue out of it but maybe I should do" So saying, she did!
Serene anger shows
Women may be from Venus
but Venus is from hell.

Source: The Financial Times
The Government and Germany were locked in a debate over whether the UK should contribute to a planned second bailout for the ailing Greek economy. Greece has been struggling since the downturn in the European and American economy.
Greek urnings need to
rise in order to avert
a Greek Tragedy.
Big, fat Greek Wedding
is all over. Best to be
philosophical, then.

2,400 tonnes of uncollected rubbish in Naples was set alight by members of the public who blocked refuse workers from collecting it.
Naples resembles
one very large pizza,
Napolitana
See Naples and die-but
first dump Berlusconi there
as King of Refuse.
Stench of corruption
in Naples even worse than
its gigantic tip.

'Must love dogs'..the art world au courant 14.06.2011
Source: The Independent Review
Canaletto painted loads of dogs and this is duly noted in a new book by Don Thompson in which he talks about how painting pets and 'loved' animals increased (and does to this day) the 'value' of the work. The breed of dog, he observes, determines the value of a painting. A pure bred animal, pictured traditionally in a painting meant it was worth more than a depiction of a mongrel, etc.,
David Nash, a present day N.Y. art dealer has a rule for animals in art. 'Cows never do well. Never.'
'Cows are so passe
darling. So Victorian.
So, well, yesterday.'
