I’m still doing paying work (woo-hoo!), so won’t be blogging this morning.  However, there’s so much to read out there, what with the Kagan hearings (and did you hear how she changed scientific information to make it comport with her political beliefs?); Obama’s 70th day decision to allow foreign aid

I have to admit that this was a good week for me at the Watcher’s Council.  Not only did my own post take first place (and many thanks to my fellow Council members for that honor), but my non-Council submission, Zombie’s photoessay about the scary and idiotic confluence of labor

Today is voting day for Watcher’s Council members, and I’m enjoying the great pleasure of reading the following submissions: Council Submissions Joshuapundit – Barack Obama’s Oval Office Speech – The Fiction Cracks The Colossus of Rhodey – I wonder if the folks at Newsweek really wonder why their readership is dwindling

Whatever else happens today, I know I’ll have interesting stuff to read, from the Watcher’s Council: Council Submissions The Colossus of Rhodey –The Pledge of Allegiance … in Spanish? The Provocateur – Glenn Beck’s Conspiracy Theories Bookworm Room –The banality of perversion The Razor – If I Could Speak as

Last week, the Watcher’s Council website was savagely attacked by hackers.  We’ve all taken it as a sort of perverse compliment, since we know the baddies (Leftists, Islamists, general idiots), prefer destruction to debate when it comes to scary ideas of freedom, morality and general human decency. Terry Trippany, the

The Watcher’s Council website appears to be have been hacked, but I can still give you a list of all the wonderful stuff that we’re going to be reading and voting upon.  This is also an opportunity for me to welcome Brian Ledbetter, of Snapped Shot, the newest member of

No surprise here — winners were heavily focused on the flotilla.  The winners are superb (and so are the ones that didn’t win): Council Winners First place with 3 votes! – Mere Rhetoric – Israel Publishes Gaza Travel Guidebook For Pro-Hamas Freedom Flotilla Second place with 2 1/3 votes –

Here is what I am reading even as we speak.  Good stuff, all of it: Council Submissions Mere Rhetoric – Israel Publishes Gaza Travel Guidebook For Pro-Hamas Freedom Flotilla Bookworm Room – Memorial Day Post : The Warriors Among Us The Colossus of Rhodey – The White House and Joe Sestak —

Here are last week’s winners at the Watcher’s Council.  As always, don’t let the fact that only some were able to win deter you from reading them all.  You will be delighted with the little happy sparks flying through your brain after reading these submissions: Council Submissions First place with

Every week at the Watcher’s Council, a Council member takes first place.  But it’s a rare week when a Council member takes first place by an extremely wide margin.  Usually, the votes are pretty darn close.  This week, however, Council members had their eyes on a certain young lady down

I have been very remiss in posting the Watcher’s Council winners for the past two weeks.  No excuses; just my apologies — and the winners, of course. From two weeks ago: Council Winners First Place with 2 1/3 votes! – The Razor –Dumb Luck Highlights Failure of the Obama Administration

The Council has spoken and, as is usually the case, I heartily concur (although I sometimes wish that everyone could end up in first place, since the submissions are so stellar): Council Winners First place with 2 2/3 votes! – Wolf Howling –The Roots Of Slavery & The Races Hustlers’

Since I was traveling last week, I didn’t get a chance to post the winner’s for that week, and I haven’t yet posted the winner’s for this week.  As happens every week, I struggle mightily casting my vote, since the contributions are invariably good, and then I find myself in

Watcher’s Council results are in and, as is always the case when this happens, I’m tremendously flattered that my fellow council members thought well enough of my post to put me in first place.  If praise from Caesar is praise indeed, what is praise from many Caesars?  After all, I
