What was a daily roundup became an "irregular report" of links with specific Landis interest, with brief comment. We avoided bashing, gushing, or gross stupidity. Unless it was funny.
We're still around for mail, but don't expect much or quick response. Thanks!
Comments are welcome, but may be edited/moderated or deleted for propriety and relevance. The decision of the judges is final. Your milage may vary, taxes and license additional.
"As always, Trust but Verify has the best coverage, if you want to delve into it." (Doucheblog)
"Floyd Landis: Blog on Landis Doping Allegations" (LA Times [better than nothing])
Total Poindexter Website Prize: to the fabulous geniuses over at trustbutverify, who not only are perhaps the most impassioned defenders of Floyd Landis' virtue beyond only the boy himself, but actually seem to understand the detailed scientific arguments they put out that the rest of us (well, me) are too stupid to even coherently summarize. Floyd, you better be innocent, or you owe these folks a *major* freakin' apology! (racejunkie)

"Who does awards for blogs? I sense a nomination is in order." (Carlton Reid, of BikeBiz)
"Hands-down champion of full-and I mean full-coverage of this hearing is the blog Trust But Verify. You'll have to have excellent background knowledge of the issues, and wade through page after page of detail to get to anything interesting, but it's raw and unfiltered and all there. The guy who runs the site, a cycling fan from Northern California, began casually providing a clearinghouse for Landis case news nearly 10 months ago, and now he has the haunted look of a man whose life has been hijacked and wants it back. (Loren Mooney, co-author of Positively False, at Bicycling)"thank you for you balanced look at what is happening with floyd." (Michael Farrington. Green Mountain Cyclery, Ephata, PA.)
"This genuine Floyd basher would like to thank you for the hard work you put into this great resource." (Spinopsys Phil)
" Trust but Verify, the essential clearinghouse blog about the Landis case" (Mark McClusky of Wired magazine)
"if you want the latest news on the Floyd Landis case, Trust but Verify is the go-to site. The author is biased in favor of Floyd (so am I) but the reporting is neutral and comprehensive." (12string musings)"Great blog. You're tagged. " (BikingBis. Great, more work)
[More...]Thanks to Free Floyd for the idea, and Groklaw for some inspiration.
PK/Strbuk is similarly inclined.Bill Hue is a passionate about fairness and justice, and is relatively indifferent to Landis' guilt or innocence

Strbuk,
Happy birthday. I hope you have a good day, doing whatever it is that strbuk's do for relaxation.
;-)

Happy Birthday, Paula. The world is a better place with you in it.
God bless you and your family on this happy day.

Strbuk,
Happy B'day! I totally concur with racejunkie's prompting of Landis. You deserve it! By the way, mine was Thursday, but we're celebrating today with homemade blueberry pie. If you were closer, I'd invite you and Mr. Strkbuk over.
Happy Birthday Paula. Have a great day!
I'm not a big fan of birthday celebrations (I have no idea why, I'm just weird that way). Still, what I do appreciate are genuine comments about how people feel about me. Things like:
"You're doing a hell of a job ... keep up the good work"
OR
"You've picked a good cause to follow, it's right and it's true and you're plowing a good line"
Maybe that's why I don't like b'days ... I'm hopeless at expressing myself without sounding like a sap.
Anyway, madam, do what you enjoy today.
Happy Birthday strbuk! *Thank you* for all your contributions here.
PAULA! Congratulations and Happy Birthday! Got any charities you'd like to have us send donations to?
Paula, thank you for your amazing work. I hope you enjoyed a great day.
Thanks to all of you for your kind words and good wishes, I second Racejunkie's suggestion, any good French champers will do nicely Floyd, though I prefer Veuve Clicquot :-)
My charity of choice would be your local Humane Society if for some reason you feel so inclined. What we did today to relax was to explore Pennsylvania ghost towns, yup we have ghost towns in the East too. Again, thanks to all of you for your heartwarming comments.

strbuk - many happy returns of the day to you, and as many thanks for your tireless researching and posting - you make tbv a fantastic blog experience!
Ok, happy belated birthday and all. What I want to know is "What's up with the whale and harpoon?"
Cheers,
Meursault
