Duke lacrosse: Lots of good blogging

It's a quiet Sunday. The newspapers aren't what they once were except for crosswords and the obits.

So we turn to bloggers.

Here are four posts I’m glad I just read:

At Johnsville News the post is titled, “Beating a dead ‘No Names Please’ Duke case to death again and again,” but it’s about a lot more than "beating a dead horse."

If Mike Nifong reads it, I’ll bet he goes “Ouch, ouch” as Johnsvile uses facts, timelines and photos to take apart a key element of the Nifong/Gottlieb/NYT “case.” Don't miss Johnsville's post here.


Liestoppers lives up to it name by exposing some phoney claims reported about date rape drug testing. Liestoppers says :

The media continues to promote the possibility that a date rape drug was used despite the information that scientific testing has proven otherwise. It is another example of the upside down world, where the accused must prove that they did not do it and couldn’t have done, over and over again.

Very true, Liestoppers.

KC Johnson this morning from Durham-in-Wonderland:

To date, Mike Nifong has resisted calls from his state’s largest newspaper, the Charlotte Observer, that he recuse himself from the lacrosse case and request a special prosecutor. Duke law professor James Coleman has recommended a similar approach. So have the Winston-Salem Journal and Rocky Mount Telegram.

KC thinks Nifong may have to recuse himself from a possible trial even if he doesn’t want to. It has to do with Nifong being called as a witness. Read all about it here.

I’ve started paying more attention to William Anderson’s fine Duke Hoax blogging (Yes, I'm the last to know). I’m even going back through his archives. I found one post in which he talks about one of JinC’s favorite groups: bloggers. Here’s part of what Anderson says:

If the MSM is little more than a relic of the Progressive Era, then the blogs are the living relic of a time when freedom of the press meant that people with an opinion could get out their message unmolested. Read them, enjoy, and realize that you are taking part in a revolution that is bringing back real freedom of the press.

Anderson’s whole piece is a good read.
