Duke profs blog (and their PR folks yammer on about it)

Duke discovers blogging! Stop the presses! Duke PoliSci prof poses as pro-wrestler (an inside joke that isn't quite explained in the article: senior PoliSci Prof. Allan Kornberg was a once professional wrestler known as "Kosher Krusher Kornberg").

A blog, which is short for “weblog,” is an online public journal where the creator and his or her readers can post comments and responses. Michael Munger, chair of the Department of Political Science, posts daily offerings of personal insight as “Killer Grease Mungowitz” on his online blog “Mungowitz End.”

“My blog has nothing to do with my teaching,” Munger said. “It is politically incorrect. And I am pretending to be a professional wrestler.”
