ABC's 'Detroit 1-8-7' deserves better
(Column ~ 03/09/11)
I've noticed a troubling trend when it comes to certain shows on ABC -- almost every year, they seem to marginalize, then cancel, the ones that I really like.

(Editorial ~ 03/09/11)
If you've been enjoying the daylight on your way to work in the morning, we've got bad news for you.

Buy American gas
(Letter to the Editor ~ 03/09/11)
