I may not be writing, but I am reading.  Here are this week’s wonderful Watcher’s Council nominations.  Please note, too, that we have a new member:  Puma By Design!  Yay!  Be sure to check out her blog and extend her a hearty welcome to the Watcher’s Council community:

Rachel Donezal represents, philosophically, the ultimate in racism. After unsuccessfully suing Howard University, a black college for discriminating against her because she was white, she had a moment of inspiration..if being a white ‘victim’ for her own profit and ego stroking didn’t work out so well, why not totally go over and join what she saw as a successful grievance class? In fact, why not make a career out of it? So that’s exactly what she did, not only showing her own psychotic self hatred but her contempt and what amounted to the bigotry of low expectations towards the very group of people she claimed to be part of and ‘representing’ as a professional grievance monger.

Her only problem, as with most pathological liars who get caught is that she believed her own lies so completely that she took things too far. She went public with bizarre tales of racist harassment, and her own parents outed her.

If you’re interested, here’s Rachel Donezal in Baltimore, whipping up the mob to do some more looting and burning. In Baltimore, blacks whose businesses were burnt down, whom lost jobs or who now have to travel miles for a pharmacy or a grocery store and whom now suffer from a sharply increased crime rate might have something to say about her ‘representation.’

Welcome to the Watcher’s Council, a blogging group consisting of some of the most incisive blogs in the ‘sphere, and the longest running group of its kind in existence. Every week, the members nominate two posts each, one written by themselves and one written by someone from outside the group for consideration by the whole Council.Then we vote on the best two posts, with the results appearing on Friday morning.

Council News:

Don Surber was cited Monday at Ace Of Spades HQ as a Quote of the Day:

So it goes with healthy foods. In the food-stamp heavy districts of urban America, stories carry potato chips and tons of other read-to-eat foods, but no actual potatoes, carrots, or green leafy substances that are not smoked.

That is because stores are not museums. They stock the things people buy. Food stamp recipients buy junk food over healthy food.

— Don Surber on ‘Food Deserts’

Today marks the debut of Puma By Design as a Council member. We’re pretty impressed with her, and I’m sure you will be too!

This week, The Pirate’s Cove, Anne’s Opinions, Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion andBlazing Cat Fur earned honorable mention status with some great articles.

You can, too! Want to see your work appear on the Watcher’s Council homepage in our weekly contest listing? Didn’t get nominated by a Council member? No worries.

To bring something to my attention, simply head over to Joshuapundit and post the title and a link to the piece you want considered along with an e-mail address (mandatory, but of course it won’t be published) in the comments section no later than Monday 6PM PST in order to be considered for our honorable mention category. Then return the favor by creating a post on your site linking to the Watcher’s Council contest for the week when it comes out on Wednesday morning

Simple, no?

It’s a great way of exposing your best work to Watcher’s Council readers and Council members while grabbing the increased traffic and notoriety. And how good is that, eh?

So, let’s see what we have for you this week….
