Well, I had to turn off the Federer-Nadal Wimbledon match, even before the rain-out. Couldn't stand to see my boy Roger get beaten. Still, Venus did win her fifth Wimbledon title the day before, in a match against her little sister that scored the highest ratings for a women's final in three years. And lil' sis did walk away with a trophy too, as Serena and Venus grabbed the womens doubles title.
On to the Sunday shows:
Newly minted civil libertarian, former moral crusader, impeachment manager and champion of "family values" ... ahem ... and most importantly, current third party presidential candidate Bob Barr took his turn on "This Week," and the news out of that exchange wasn't what Barr said, it came from Obama campaign manager David Plouffe, who apparently believes Barr can not only make a difference in Georgia, but also in Alaska and Colorado. All I can say is "run Barr, run!" (Donate to him here.) Besides, Barr is helping to make history as the first black-but-in-denial nominee of the Libertarian Party... hopefully the right won't be too hard on him...

No MTP this week, and no Matthews, due to Wimbledon. But on CNN, Fareed Zakaria has hands down, the best talk program on Sundays, with "GPS" (for "Global Public Square.") This week, he had on the foreign minister of Iran, followed by a stellar panel of reporters including both badass Michael Ware and Christiane Amanpour. Fantastic show, and since last Sunday, is officially on the TiVo Season Pass list.
