No White Person Has Ever Broken 10 Seconds in the 100 Meters
I thought 2008 would be our year. I really did. After all, if a black man can be elected President (hopefully), then a white person could break 10 seconds, right?

You Taste Of America, Jason Lezak

University of Colorado Announces Valet Bike Parking For Football Games
