- NYT column: Many bloggers think Ken Lay still lives
  Posted by Damianmann from Rawstory
  When Kenneth L. Lay, Enron's former chairman and chief executive, shuffled off this mortal coil last week (a heart attack as the family vacationed in Colorado, the coroner said), there was an immediate sense in the blogosphere that something was rotten in Aspen," writes Tom Zeller Jr. in a column slated for Monday's edition of The New York Times, RAW STORY has found. Zeller claims that from "one corner of the Web to another," bloggers displayed "a wide lack of credulity at the idea that the man had died at all," and presents examples from a Live Journal diary, a couple comments left at Metafilter, and blogger Dave Roberts at Evil Bobby.

- Lay Loses His Cool on Stand
  Posted by Billbar from New York Times
  Mr. Lay, 64, has become increasingly agitated, at times reacting impatiently even to his own lawyer, George McCall Secrest Jr., and lashing out at what Mr. Lay portrayed as a cabal of former Enron executives, investors and journalists whom he repeatedly blamed for the company's downfall in late 2001.

- Lay cites witch hunt and misplaced trust
  Posted by Billbar from USA Today
  Former Enron chairman Ken Lay spent much of his second day on the stand as he did his first: blaming others for the events that led to his company's collapse. "We thought in fact the Wall Street Journal was on a witch hunt. We didn't have any information that Andy Fastow had done anything inappropriate."

they say "bloggers" in such a sweeping way. Like ALL bloggers are insane or something. And we ALL agree on these things...because we're "bloggers"

Was there an open casket? Not that that would convince bloggers.
