Category: Watcher of Weasels

No matter how irritating the world around me gets, there is always one small center of sanity, week after week.  That would be, of course, the Watcher’s Council.  Every week, I get to read and vote upon posts that are thought-provoking, informative, interesting and, as with this week’s non-council winner,

As I ready myself to nominate a couple of posts for this week’s Watcher’s Council vote, I have important business to do too.  First, as the title of this post shows, I have to post last week’s winners.  Second, though, I have to let you know about the amazing work

This week’s selections at the Watcher’s Council: Council Submissions The Colossus of Rhodey – Islamophobia Right Truth – Look For Another Lawsuit or Two Bookworm Room – Zoning, religion, guns and the Bill of Rights VA Right –  NYC Cabbie Slashed by Drunken Nutjob – Left Wing Media Makes Up the

I’m running a bit behind myself, but it would be too cruel were I to deny you entirely the pleasure of knowing who last week’s winners were at the Watcher’s Council.  As always, the articles’ overall quality was superb, and the winners deserved their high ranking. Council Winners First place

It’s time again for me to have the privilege of reading and then voting upon the myriad Council and non-Council submissions at the Watcher’s Council.  I commend them all to your attention but, rather unusually for me (indeed, I think this is a first), I’m going to highlight one that

I may have been gallivanting around Alaska, but Council members were hard at work.  Below the fold, you will find the winners during my absence:

The votes are in at the Watcher’s Council and the winners have been chosen.  I didn’t get a chance to link to these posts when they were mere submissions, so now is my time to urge you to read them, since they are excellent (as always): Council Winners First place

What a week it was at the Watcher’s Council: Council Winners First place with 2 1/3 votes! – The Razor – True Bigots Second place with 2 votes – Wolf Howling – An Overdrawn Race Card Third place with 1 2/3 votes – Rhymes With Right – Shirley Sherrod: Dissent

Wonderful stuff: Council Submissions Wolf Howling – An Overdrawn Race Card The Provocateur – Saul Alinsky and Dr. Anna Chacko Rhymes With Right – Shirley Sherrod: Dissent Equals Racism And A Desire To Return To Slavery Right Truth – Conservative Republican Agenda The Razor – True Bigots Snapped Shot – The

The Council has voted again, and I’m very flattered that my fellow Council members thought my post on burqas was good enough to take first place.  As it is, I didn’t think I’d rank anywhere near the top, since the other submissions were so good. Here are all the winners

As the kids frolic in the pool under the watchful eye of a trusted teenage babysitter (they’re all solid swimmers but, with 10 kids in the pool, someone needs to watch), I get a different pleasure, but one fully equal to theirs:  I get to read and vote on the

The Council has spoken and, as always, it has spoken wisely.  In what was, again, an exceptional week of submissions, some still led the pack.  In other words, I heartily endorse the outcome of this election: Council Winners First place with 2 2/3 votes! – The Razor – Life in

Another great batch to expand your mind, from the Watcher’s Council: Council Submissions Wolf Howling – Obama & Keynes, Hayek & Laffer Snapped Shot – Speechless The Colossus of Rhodey – Foundation’s Triumph review and the fate of human destiny The Razor – Life in a Vise Rhymes With Right – An

Ack!  Having the family perpetually underfoot has left me several days behind in my blogging — including my responsibility (which is also a pleasure) to post the winners over at the Watcher’s Council.  Last week’s winners are: Council Winners First place with 2 2/3 votes! – Wolf Howling – Obama’s

Sometimes it really pains me that I can vote for only two Watcher’s Council nominations in each category (Council and non-Council).  This week’s nominations are a perfect example of that frustration.  On both the Council and the non-Council side, the quality of the work submitted is extraordinary.  When voting, I
