The best day ever!
I attended the College of Law's Alumni Conference Saturday. It was informative and I appreciate busy alums taking a day to spend with us. At the conclusion of the conference a survey form was distributed I completed mine and returned it.
For doing so my name was entered into a raffle. I WON! My prize is a DVD of the movie
A Few Good Men. All of the movies had a lawerly theme. But wow, can you believe all the good things happening to me on one day!
Mr. Tony is going to Monday Night Football
Today is getting better and better! I just found out that the King of Media may go to MNF depending on Al Michaels and what he decides to do. Who is the King of Media; Tony Kornheiser!

A funny moment in law school.
If you know me you know I don't play the race card. I am candid about race and encourage those conversations. We live in a society that is sensitive to the subject. However, when something funny happens regarding race I feel it is my duty to share, read on.
This exhange was between me and one of the coolest Republicans I have met in law school. She has a good heart so I'll leave her nameless, I don't want to embaress her.
Republican: "Don't tell me to stay off the internet during class, if you are on the internet too!" (jokingly)
Me: "Naw there are different rules for you and I."
Republican: "That's like the pot calling the kettle..." and she pauses and becomes quiet.
I realize what is happening and I find it funny and she appears sheepish. She is cute as a button and she seemed uneasy so I let it go. She waved and retreated to the bathroom but I thought this whole exchange was hillarious.
This was a good way to start off my week!
Quote of the day
I watched Bernie Mac prior to beginning my school day. Bernie Mac speaking to Jordan had the following exchange.
Jordan: Uncle Bernie, were you a nerd in school?
Bernie Mac: Hell naw, I was born circumcised!
Now I don't know exactly what that means but it was funny, I hope you find it funny too.
I am bi-polar, I am happy, yet, I am sad
Football. There are plenty of adjetives to describe this great sport. This Super Bowl is especially great for me. My Pittsburgh Steelers will play this year. Let's go Steelers.
However, when the Super Bowl concludes that means only one more game and football goes away for six (6) months. That makes me sad. Well I guess I have no excuse for going to church! ha ha ha.
Let me know who you think will win and leave the score. Let us see who is the greatest football prognisticator amongst us.
The Jammy Jam
As you know by now Friends of Kris Anderson had a birthday party in my honor. We made voter registration available at the party and it was a free event for all who attended. I was glad to have friends, family and colleagues there to help me celebrate. I'll let these people chime in. But I think it is fair to say those who did not attend missed a good time.
The next Friends of Kris Anderson event will be the annual fundraiser this summer, details to come soon.
EBONY Magazine
Thank you. I have received many calls and e-mails of well wishes regarding my mention in EBONY. I was chosen as a young leader in the "30 Under 30" annual article. My picture is on page 122. EBONY forgot to mention my national officership with YDA but I ain't mad! Thanks again and Godbless.
Todd Stroger will...
On the QT and the hush hush a southside rumors says that Alderman Todd Stroger is quietly making phone calls to line up support to be named Clerk when current Clerk Laski resigns. His father powerful ward boss John H. Stroger, Jr. is pressing too. This will help ensure his legacy if his offspring is a city leader.
While Todd is not boisterous in City Council meetings he is well like by many. He will be the consensus choice of the black caucus and may snatch away some non-minority southsiders (Murphy and Rugai) with large black populations. While the Mayor has the ultmiate power to appoint, numerous calls and a pledge of support for his own re-election (especially if there is a prominent Black in the race) may be enough to convince him.
We shall see.
EMPHI-represent, represent!
Hit the link and listen. Even though I have not spoken with him in a couple of years I still consider Dr. Andre Matthews one of my best friends. I have known him since 1st grade and he's been a charachter every since. We attended grammar and high school together. I am sure his ascertainment of his doctorate was a proud moment for his parents. I am very proud of him too.
The link is a radio show which Dr. Matthews appears as a guest, he speaks of health disparities and the HPREP program. Check him out.
