Minority report
Dave Berns | Thu, Aug 21, 2008 (midnight)
The e-mail sat in my in-box, an angry bullet fired by a frustrated white man. Minutes before, he’d heard San Diego Union-Tribune columnist Ruben Navarette refer to white Americans as “lazy.”

There’s wind in them thar hills
Dave Berns | Thu, Jul 24, 2008 (midnight)
