Thursday is my day for expanding my mind, something I do by reading the submissions at the Watcher’s Council.  Normally, I have a nice beaten track that I rely upon for my information.  The Watcher’s Council, wonderfully, forces me out of that intellectual comfort zone, and enables me to read

Aah!  I have been remiss.  Today is the day to vote on this week’s Watcher’s submissions, and I still haven’t let you know who won last week.  Let me give you that information immediately:

I can feel my brain cells vibrate and expand as they get supercharged with all the wonderful stuff I’m reading for this week’s Watcher’s Council vote: Council Submissions American Digest – Bring. It. On. Bookworm Room – A perfect statement about the balance of power between government, citizens and business

The votes are in on last week’s Watcher’s Council submissions.  I was rather surprised that I won, and that Wolf Howling took second.  I thought Wolf Howling’s post was a tour de force, but I guess my post, which was completely off-topic from everyone else’s, had the virtue of standing

It’s the rare week when I have an easy time voting at the Watcher’s Council, because I’m usually impressed across the board by the submissions.  This week, I was impressed at an even higher level than usual.  The posts that Council members submitted, whether their own or someone else’s work,

Silly me!  In the furor that was the last weekend of the winter break, I forgot to post the winners from last week’s Watcher’s Council votes.  It was an incredibly strong week of submissions, so the fight was fierce, hence all the ties: Council Submissions First place with 4 1/3

We’ve been cleaning house like crazy.  My husband woke up this morning and announced that everything that was useless had to go.  Well, I say that every day (usually about the President), but no one listens to me.  With him in the driver’s seat, though, we had a frenzy of

It was a nice Christmas gift for me when my fellow Council members gave their votes to my post about the Communist secret behind the Climate Change mantra.  Considering the quality of the minds behind the Watcher’s Council, I always feel so honored when I win.  But enough about me. 

I’m going to be enjoying these Council submitted posts this morning, as I struggle to narrow my votes to two in each category: Council Submissions American Digest – What’s Bad For America Is Good For The Obama Gang Right Truth – Hundreds of British schoolgirls facing genital mutilation Joshuapundit –

As I said, I didn’t submit a very good article, so I wasn’t surprised by my placement.  I was very pleased, though, to see how this week’s votes did come out, because I think the winners, in both the Council and non-Council categories, deserved the recognition they received. Council Submissions

Because the past week was a little bit overwhelming for me, my Watcher’s Council submission is not inspiring.  That failing, however, is more than offset by the high caliber of all the other Watcher’s Council submissions for this week.  So here’s what I’ll have great pleasure reading today: Council Submissions

The weekly Watcher’s Council winners are up, and they show what an incredible race it was for the top.  I know that I had a very difficult time casting my vote this week, since I was more than usually impressed with the admissions: Council Submissions First place with 2 2/3

There were no surprises in this week’s Watcher’s Council votes.  Wonderfully written articles about ClimateGate and Obama’s Afghanistan dithering won.  The other wonderfully written articles that the Watcher’s submitted fell neatly into place behind the winners: Council Submissions First place with 2 1/3 points! – Mere Rhetoric – Leaked Global

I am having a really hard time casting my vote this week for the Watcher’s Council.  The submissions, which are invariably good, are, this week, great.  See what you think: Council Submissions Soccer Dad – The Warming Concensus The Razor – ClimateGate Shows the Importance of the Amateur Scientist Joshuapundit–
