BillHobbs.com is a frequently updated blog of original reporting and commentary by Bill Hobbs, a longtime Nashville journalist and media relations adviser. I am currently serving as communications director for the Tennessee Republican Party, a job I began on Oct. 29, 2007.
If you're interested in the case of Tour de France winner Floyd Landis and the drug/doping allegations against him, you might want to check out this post at Lynne Kiesling's blog, Knowledge Problem. Also, Kiesling, a Northwestern University economics professor, wrote a few months back about Landis' "wiki defense" strategy involving posting case documents online and enlisting "the wisdom of the crowds." (The June 2007 edition of Bicycling, with Landis on the cover, also includes the wiki defense strategy in its article.) Kiesling: "Floyd's defense is an open-source project, and is likely to be much better because of the cumulative knowledge of the cycling community. And it's not just cycling knowledge; it's chromatography, forensic chemistry, law, statistics, etc."
