As Earth Day quickly approaches and students search for ways to become "green," it should be stressed that recycling is not the answer.
The American media worked themselves into such a frenzied pirate orgy over the long Easter weekend that they forgot to check and see if the actual pirates had something to say.
The comic featured last week-concerning the hazing incidents that brought the UF chapter of Sigma Lambda Gamma to its second suspension for hazing violations - legitimized and downplayed the crimes of which the organization has been found guilty.
For the past 50 years our country has all but ignored Cuba's existence. We've placed a trade embargo on the island nation, only harming our own farmers and other exporters, and we've gone as far to place travel restrictions on the country, punishing Cuban-Americans and hindering our travel industry.
The University of Florida is getting better and better these days in large part due to the increase in the scholastic aptitude of its incoming freshman classes.
Well, America sure has been great for these past two centuries.
Florida's legislators are wrestling with an unprecedented decline in general revenues. While some talk about embracing Indian gaming as part of a solution, there's a much higher-stakes game in play - a game that risks the future of Florida by dismantling badly needed state programs, including public higher education.
Last week, I came to an unexpected realization: I am a superstitious tool. I've always dismissed superstition as worthless and irrelevant, and now I'm as guilty as morons who still have rabbits' feet dangling from their key chains.
I have very mixed feelings about SG's proposed resolution in support of the DREAM Act.
I disagree with Tommy Maple's column that addresses how the increased tax on cigarettes is wrong.

The Populists are ruining everything.
When one thinks of the Everglades they tend to conjure imagery of nothing but giant swamps - unappealing and, honestly, a bit of a waste of space.
While I am happy to see that our country is moving in a more progressive direction, I am sad that I cannot say the same about the University of Florida. Our good president Barack "The Messiah" Obama is steering the nation toward a much fairer, redistributive taxation and social program system which will take from the greedy rich bastards to provide for those who have fallen on harder times. Every single rich person in America, after all, "earned" his or her fortune by denying opportunities to the poor.
Almost everyone recognizes the importance of sustainability. Americans are beginning to prioritize environmental protection, create a renewable power economy and conserve energy. President Barack Obama's stimulus package, bills in the state legislature, and UF's sustainability programs have all made sustainability a priority to prevent energy waste and avert climate change.
In one of the biggest acts of intergalactic narcissism to date, Stephen Colbert - host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" - hijacked a NASA contest to get his name among the stars.
