Oh me, oh my! Here it is four days since the Watcher’s votes came in and I haven’t shared the outcome with you. I have a research project I need to do, and I spent a day in cheerful dalliance (watched the wonderful new Narnia movie), so I’ll just give the outcome to you in [...]

I have been remiss, since I haven’t yet posted the winner’s in last week’s vote over at the Watcher of Weasels. As is always the case, the collective wisdom of the Council yielded sterling results. Sitting here today, trying to keep an eye on two young girls baking brownies, I no longer remember precisely which [...]

Apologies for my silence today, but I let deadlines pile up and I now have to face that dismal music. It’s entirely my own fault, because I wanted to blog, not do paying work, but the paying work has to be done — and I certainly owe it to my clients to do their projects [...]

The results are in for the last round of voting at the Watcher’s Council, and the first place winners in both the Council and non-Council categories were entirely predictable because they were that good. Second place winners weren’t so bad either. So, here are the results of the votes:

Who Cares About Israel, Anyway?

Showing myself to be in synch with my fellow council members, my first place votes in each category — council member and non-council member — won. So, without further throat-clearing, I present the first and second place winners in each category.
On the council side, a much deserved first place went to Right Wing Nuthouse for [...]

Sadly, the Watcher of Weasels suffered some sort of catastrophic technical failure and was unable to fulfill the ordinary Watcher functions this week. At Joshuapundit, however, Freedom Fighter has kindly taken the time to assemble links to the articles the Council Members would have voted on, had there been a vote, so you can [...]

Today is the voting day over at the Watcher’s Council, so I’m going through the posts fellow Council members selected for the week. You really can’t do better than this stuff, and I recommend each post highly:
Bullshit!
Done With Mirrors
The Candidates on the Economy: Taxes
The Glittering Eye
Does America Need a New Enemy? One Brit Thinks So…
Hillbilly [...]

Both of the posts I voted for as my favorite Watcher nominations won 1st place. I was actually a little uncomfortable about Fjordman’s post, the winning non-council post, since it does seem to be the first step in a national front movement in Europe. Nevertheless, I thought it was a good post because [...]

Watcher’s results are in, and this time I’m on top of things.
On the Council side, first place went to Done With Mirrors for the best post I’ve seen about the media’s “Grim Milestone” watch: Get Your Grim Milestone Today? Second place was for my post, “What Would You Do?,” which asked what you would do [...]

I’m about to start on a scintillating morning of research about federal diversity jurisdiction and choice of law questions. Please excuse, therefore, the brevity with which I present the winners from last week’s and this week’s Watcher’s Council votes. I can assure you that the winning posts were excellent, as were those that did not [...]

The bad news is that Big Lizards is leaving the Watcher’s Council, which has enjoyed the wonderful bounty of his posts for a year now. The good news, however, is that, if you are interested in joining the Watcher’s Council, now is your chance to apply.
In my search for one other silver lining, it also [...]

This was, again, one of those weeks during which I was completely in synch with my fellow Watcher’s Council members, and voted for the winning posts. First place went to Big Lizard’s for his excellent expose of the unhappy “coincidences” that just seem to happen to Obama’s political opponents, leaving Obama in the comfortable position [...]

Since I was away last week, the Watcher’s election just passed me by. Nevertheless, I would be more than remiss if I didn’t notify you about the fine winners (and placers and showers) on both sides of the aisle, council and non-council. As is often the case when I read these posts, I find myself [...]

From statements I’ve periodically made, you may have gathered that this has been a rather challenging week. The almost frantic blogging I did was a respite from an overwhelming work load, made more difficult by having a sick child in the background. What I complete managed to miss in the chaos, was telling [...]

These Watcher’s Winners aren’t so recent anymore, since the results came out last Friday, but my last days after been so overwhelming, I figure I’m still ahead of my own curve getting the information up here by Wednesday. First, the Winners, then any comments I might have.
On the Council side:

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 [...]

Where does the time go? I’ve meant since Friday to post about the winner’s of last week’s Watcher’s vote, and here it is Sunday afternoon and I’m only just getting around to it. Say what you will, but you can’t describe me as someone who’s on the ball.
Here are the winners, [...]

Time flew, and I forgot to post the winner’s in the last vote over at the Watcher of Weasels. Let me start, for once, on the non-Council side, where the winning piece got the highest vote I’ve ever seen in my time on the Watcher’s council — and deservedly so. Andy Olmsted’s last [...]

The Weasel Watchers have cast their votes and the results, as always, are good. On the Council side, first place went to Soccer Dad for The Freddys Seven, which looks at Al Sharpton’s utterly reprehensible career, and castigates the Democratic candidates for genuflecting to him. The post exposes one of seamier side of [...]

I’ve been so removed from all things blogging that I never got around to posting the Weasel results over at the Watcher’s Council. From my point of view, they’re very satisfying indeed, since my fellow Weasel watchers were kind enough to give me the winning vote.
On the Council side, win, place and show went [...]

Time is running away from me so quickly. I think it’s the time of year. With work projects, school deadlines, and holiday planning, I can’t seem to keep up with things but, instead, keep finding myself staggering along, always a little behind. Which is why I’m only getting around today to posting the Watcher’s results. [...]

I hadn’t forgotten that the Weasel votes had come and gone and that great posts had won. I’ve just been so crazy busy with work, I haven’t taken the time to acknowledge those winners. I’m still crazy busy with the project that will not go away, so I won’t discuss them, just list [...]

Wolf Howling is the newest member of the Watcher’s Council and he exploded on the scene with a bang: his first post as Council member took first place, and deservedly saw, since it cast a jaundiced eye on a new British program that is ostensibly intended to tame the more radical Muslim population, but in [...]

Okay, I am totally exaggerating in my post title. Being a conservative, I’m enjoying good mental health (a combination of not taking the MSM too seriously and not viewing myself as a victim). Also, I didn’t really strike out, I just didn’t win.
Oh! You want to know what the heck I’m talking [...]
