The Herald, and their "bad boy in residence", Howie Carr, do this at least once per year: Stoke the drivers Vs. cyclists war. This is done for the usual reasons: It sells a few more copies of the paper, and pumps up Carr's Arbitron ratings. To his credit, Carr is actually quite funny when he gets going on local politicians, and their various "transgressions". (Stuffing bribe money into one's bra for example, and getting busted by hidden video cam while doing it.)

What's interesting is Mr. Berger's claim that he has spent a hundred grand on a legal team, a civil engineer, and.. a historian? And he says he is not a wealthy guy. And in a down economy too.
That's impressive.

To quote a line from a movie, "You can't stop what's coming."
