Ah, nothing like election season to bring out the nutbirds. This was the scene outside the front door of the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Thursday after a manila envelope that contained white powder identified by the demented correspondent as anthrax arrived in the little newsroom mailroom where cousins Chris and Pam pick up their fan mail (ha!) daily. Luckily, it was just sugar. But as this photo, taken by our friend and colleague Deb Pastner, shows, it was pretty serious for a minute or two.
