What happened to them?

Well this happened to them.

Dude, Shut Up?!!

PUNCH OUT! ON Wii?! It's almost enough to make me go buy a Wii.




Almost, but not quite. There's that whole money barrier.

An Analysis of President-Elect Barack Obama....

's basketball game:

in response to the election results, and with all due respect, here's a non-partisan scouting report on President-elect Barack Obama's hoop game.

Who says Obama never goes to his right? ( / Getty Images)

He can jump, run, and shows adhesive hands. The future president also has good court-awareness and will unselfishly deliver passes to the right players in the right places at the right times. His on-court joy, exuberance and celebrity obviously enliven the games in which he plays and inspire his teammates.

However, his defense relies on ball-hawking and is therefore somewhat shoddy. Plus, he's not much of a banger.

Also, he's totally left-handed — so much so that he probably has to water his right hand three times every day just to keep it functional.

But the worst aspect of his game is his jump shot. There's a hitch in his shot preparation, which makes his ultimate release point much too low. The result being that he tends to front-rim too many shots.

Anyway, forget about all of that political stuff. It's wonderful to have a genuine hooper in the White House.

A Reminder....

To never, ever do drugs and turn out like Amy Winehouse. It's just not worth it.

Romans 13

Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. 7Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

The Names Have Been Changed....

....but the words have not.

[Brian Stevenson] saying well there goes my parents' paychecks to lazy people and i hope my husband will still have a job after the airline industry goes to hell! [emphasis added]

[Jennifer Johnson] Today America has chosen form over substance, emotion over logic, idealism over reality, but worst of all, color over quality. [emphasis added]

These are status changes from people I am "friends" with on facebook.

Maybe you know them. At this point, I hope you don't.

They will likely defend themselves, making claims that these words are misinterpreted.

But I am entirely disheartened about these statements.

These are my peers; my colleagues. People that I will likely be around for the foreseeable future, even beyond law school.

I say it again....tell me that racism isn't alive.

When the words "good ol' boy" still circulate in Houston and the South

When people allege that the country voted on color and not the 1 million other variables.

When those pre-conceived notions pop into your head throughout the day.

We've all been programmed from a young age.

Tell me racism doesn't exist.

I miss the days of grade school, where I wasn't fully aware of what race was.

As far as this country may have come, is as far behind as we really are at times.
