Weasel Whacked
I freely admit it wasn’t one of my best posts, so I can’t say I’m surprised to have squeaked in with only one vote. Oh! You want to know what I’m talking about? Last week’s Weasel results, of course. But enough about my rather dismal showing. Let’s talk about the winners:
On the Council side, first place went to Done With Mirrors for Liberal Fascism. In it, Callimachus basically said that he doesn’t like Jonah Goldberg’s book, and then he goes on to rip-roaring discussion about fascism. Since you all know that I really loved Goldberg’s book, I didn’t vote for that post, even though I have to admit that it’s a really good one. Such is the problem of voting with emotions, not intellect (liberals, take heed). There was a seven way tie for second place, with the Watcher breaking the tie and awarding official second place rank to Right Wing Nut House for Grim Choices Confront GOP — a premise and a post with which I entirely agree.
Just so you can see how wildly weird the voting was (and so I feel better about my tie for last place), here’s the ranking (primary voters take heed):
Votes | Council link |

2 2/3 | Liberal Fascism Done With Mirrors |

1/3 | Rose Colored Rudy Soccer Dad |
1/3 | The Problem With Obama’s Race Bookworm Room |
Actually, when it comes to divided voting, things really weren’t much better over at the non-Council side — that is, if you don’t count the overwhelming win IowaHawk received for the masterful ByLines of Brutality (a post that I submitted and for which I voted):
4 | Bylines of Brutality Iowahawk |
1 2/3 | It’s All Israel’s Fault Gates of Vienna |
1 2/3 | About the Anarcholibertarians The QandO Blog |
1 1/3 | Doctors and Death and Doctors Death The IgNoble Experiment |

It will be interesting to see what happens this week — if we’ll be able to coalesce around a single leader, or if we’ll again be incapable of coming together.
