College Law Student

It’s an old case but a funny one.

A case of a man who wears too many hats.

You gotta love when people who get too greedy get what they deserve.

Alton attorney Emert Wyss thought he could make money in a Madison County class action lawsuit, but he accidentally sued himself instead. Now he has four law firms after his money - and he hired all four.

Wyss’s boomerang litigation started in 2002, when he invited Carmelita McLaughlin to his office at 1600 Washington St. in Alton. Acting as her attorney when she bought a home in Alton and when she refinanced it, on both occasions she had chosen Centerre Title–a company that Wyss owned–to close her loans.

Law student Michael Dodge graduated this weekend from the University of Mississippi with the first-ever certificate in Space Law.

Space law is an actual concern since people have been trying to sell property on the Mars for years now. But it also handles things like weaponization of space and the industrialization of privatized space. Also it keeps people from starting wars over who owns the moon.

My guess is Mr. Dodges’ first week is going to be full with all those calls from hillbillies who claim to have been illegally probed by extraterrestrials.

I’m an Xbox Live player.

I play Halo, Call of Duty and the occasional Uno (mostly when drinking).

While I am not a “person of color”, one of the most offensive things I have seen on Xbox is the incredible amount of racism.

The most troubling thing about it is that the attacks are not always caused by an argument or anything that sets the offender off, it’s usually because they assume someone is a different race than them because of the way they talk or the subject of the conversation.

And I hear it from every age group, pre-teens all the way up to guys in their 40s just shouting hateful comments into their little headsets from the safety of their couches.

Even UFC light-heavyweight champion, Quentin “Rampage” Jackson deals with it while trying to relax and play a videogame while taking a break from smashing peoples faces in.

But even a World Class ass kicker like Rampage has to just sit there and take it because of the anonymity these idiots are lucky enough to have, otherwise I have a feeling there would be alot of very quiet racists sitting in their mothers basements with him in the room.

I propose a law goes into effect that allows all racists on Xbox to have their addresses sent directly to Mr. Jackson where he will be able to single-handedly fix this problem of online tough guys so that everyone else can get back to having a good time.
