Upon finding the links from Legal Insurrection I decided to explore the blogs Professor Jacobson recommended. I selected a promising website entitled "Moe Lane", mainly because of my passion for Moe's Southwestern Grill. If Legal Insurrection qualifies as formal, Moe Lane certainly tends to be more colloquial. It certainly has more of a "17-year-old's first tumblr" feel when shown next to the formality of Legal Insurrection. Regardless, it is clearly well-established and the product of a lot of hard work and research.
In my effort to not judge a book by its cover, I figured furthering my knowledge by reading a few posts couldn't hurt.
Overall, the content is good. For example, the post concerning RedState polls shows that the site is part of a national initiative, which is excellent.
On the other hand, the conversational tone could go either way. While it sounds like the blog is building a dialogue with its readers- a strong tactic- it can also give way to colloquialisms and typos, which do nothing for the credibility of the blog. Nonetheless, I was impressed.
