At the U.S. Open: Female Tennis PlayerVictoria Azarenka Collapse in Sweltering New York Heat Wave Caused by Concussion

If you can’t stand the heat, get off the court, or is it kitchen?

The New York Post reports that it wasn’t the heat, at least not completely.

Victoria Azarenka blamed a mild concussion suffered in a prematch fall as the reason for her scary on-court collapse in the first set of her U.S. Open match against Gisela Dulko on Wednesday.

The temperatures on the courts at Flushing Meadows were already into the low 100s on Wednesday afternoon, and Azarenka was laboring throughout the match, which she trailed 5-1. She seemed disoriented and also was favoring her elbow.

But the No. 10 player in the world did not blame the oppressive conditions.

“I was warming up in the gym prior to my match against Gisela Dulko when I fell while running a sprint,” Azarenka said in a statement. “I fell forward and hit my arm and head. I was checked by the medical team before I went on the court and they were courtside for monitoring.



I don't know who this sports babe is, but she's HOT!!!

Sarah Palin: Warns GOP Establishment to Return to Conservative Roots or Face being Flushed Out the Party

Sarah Palin told Sean Hannity in essence on his radio show that established Republicans days of being Rinos or Democrat-Lite candidates is numbered.

It’s time to clean house of GOP members that are too politically correct and too timid to stand for Conservatism.

I say bravo for Sarah Palin!

My biggest complaint has always been that we have leaders like Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Eric Cantor and Mike Pence who need to be eventually driven out the party if they don’t show more political courage and less a craving for approval from the Washington elites.

SEIU Forgot to Use Spellcheck: Carries Sign that Misspells “American”

This pretty much demonstrates the intelligence of your typical Obama supporter in the SEIU union.

No doubt a product of our failing school system. Don’t forget who controls them too.

Smitty at The Other McCain says, “Everyone is giving the SEIU the Dan Quayle treatment for inability to spell ‘American’.”

Maybe we should bring back literacy tests for voting after all.
