I will be heading to Buloxi, Mississippi today (Sunday) until Wednesday evening on a gambling vacation with my father. It is kind of a nice way to lose $500 win $3,000 before I enter some place called law school in the fall. Thus, expect no posts from me until Thursday. However, if the lovely contributors […]

What A Delicious Beating
I hope everyone had a wonderful July 4th full of fireworks, corn, and hot dogs. Speaking of hot dogs, Joey Chestnut broke the world record for amount of hot dogs consumed within a 12 minute period. This all went down at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Championship [Today, A Victory For America]. Way to take […]
The 4th of July is a once-a-year holiday that reminds me just how lucky I am to be living in the United States. Every day, I am reminded about how lucky I am to be surrounded with such an excellent group of contributors on this blog. For the past week, I have been working hard […]
