Watcher’s Council nominations for October 8, 2014
One of the great pleasures of Thursdays is reading and voting on the Watcher’s Council nominations for the week. Two other pleasures, both of which I meant to link to earlier, are reading the forum (this one asking whether, First Amendment notwithstanding, Islam in America needs some government limitations) and the new Weasel of the Week feature, with nominations here and winners here. Regarding the forum (in which I did not participate), I have to tell you that it’s one of the best I’ve seen, and you should absolutely check it out.
And now for this week’s nominations:
