I love America. Unfortunately, Americans are stupid as hell. Remember just last month when hundreds of people swore they all spotted a leprechaun hiding in a tree in Mobile, Alabama, on St. Patrick's Day? Precisely. I rest my case.
There was a lingering hope that the return of DNA tests would grant a sense of finality to the allegations against the Duke men's lacrosse team. What the Duke-Durham community has witnessed, however, is anything but. And in the absence of more definitive, new information, the public continues to resort to and rely on skepticism and speculation.
Another week has come and gone. And the investigation of the Duke lacrosse team has not yet yielded charges against those accused of the alleged sexual assault of an NCCU student and mother of two.
Earlier this week, the Duke men's lacrosse team captains issued a statement denying that a sexual assault occurred at a party thrown at their off-campus house on March 13, 2006. A police investigation of the victim's claim is still underway, and at the time of this printing, no one has yet been charged for the alleged assault.
Mohammad Taheri-azar, a 2005 UNC-Chapel Hill graduate, turned himself into police on Friday afternoon after driving a rented sports utility vehicle into a crowd of students at the University of North Carolina.
I was brought up as a Catholic. I grew up going to Mass every Friday, Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation; I mastered the art of whittling little crosses from dried palm leaves; I had guardian angels and a patron saint for every endeavor and malady under the sun; and for years I suffered through frozen fish stick dinners during Lent.
The argument can be made that Duke dating scene-or oft-lamented lack thereof-is a contributing cause of the social isolation on this campus, one that can drive young men and women into unmeaningful and destructive relationships.
Making an emergency appointment with a doctor, filling a prescription or even getting to a family planning clinic within a 72-hour window is not always possible for women-especially over holidays and weekends when doctors are difficult to come by.
The recent republication of a series of political cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammad has been greeted by an international, intercultural and interfaith firestorm.
There is a sacred ritual to which all Duke students are privy. No, it isn't freshman orientation with Party Boy Chad, getting lost off East Campus, paying $40,000 to live in a tent pitched on mud, completing your graduation requirements or even completing your "graduation requirements." The real sacred ritual is what you do to celebrate the last first day of your college career.
So, how are those Duke boys treatin' ya'? How many boyfriends do you have?"
I hate Thanksgiving. I mean, I really, really hate Thanksgiving," a Durham hairdresser snarled while running her bony, hawkish talons through my hair.
The landmark Roe v. Wade case has been the automatic go-to political litmus test for the public approval of political and judicial confirmations ever since 1973.

The sun dipped early on October 31, 2002, and Halloween night became hopelessly frosty.
Raised by an Hispanic-Catholic mother and a French Canadian-Catholic father in Irish-Catholic Boston, I attended private Catholic schools, sat through many a Catholic Mass and had all the fledgling makings of a little Catholic nun.
One October, many years ago, when I was young and the earth was new, my father pulled me aside and said: "Son, don't you grow up to be a Boston fan. Those teams will break your heart."
You cannot have it all. Period. Doting parent, loving spouse, esteemed career professional? Pick one. Two, if you're willing to shirk your responsibilities and half-ass your way through life. But all three-? Fuggedaboudit.

Concerns about who might be getting past the under-funded and under-staffed Border Patrol has compelled a new citizens’ brigade to “do the job our government won’t do” and protect us from the “tens of millions of invading illegal aliens who are devouring and plundering our nation.” Some American citizens have become so disillusioned by the Bush administration’s failure to seal the national borders from “homeland invaders” that they have elected to take on the task of monitoring the 2,000-mile stretch of porous Mexican-American borderland.
