The votes are in and counted over at the Watcher’s Council, and we thought everything submitted was so good that the Watcher was faced with a four way tie (not to mention myriad other ties).  Still, things sorted themselves out and the results are good. Council Submissions First place with

Sorry about the blog silence.  I’ll just say that this is one of those days that saw me fall on the chocolate ice cream like a junkie on heroin.  Nothing bad happened today.  It’s just been an overwhelming day that had me bouncing from one thing to another like a

It’s good, very good: Council Submissions Joshuapundit – It’s Hard Out There For A ( Hamas) Pimp Rhymes With Right – On The Conflict Against Hamas Bookworm Room – Taking Reagan’s Name in Vain The Glittering Eye – Money for the States? Cheat-Seeking Missiles – Portrait of an Arse as

I’m a dollar short and a day late, but I’m not cruel enough to deprive you of a list of the winners, placers and show-ers in last week’s vote over at the Watcher’s Council.  Every week I enjoy reading the submissions, but I have to say that last week’s submissions

Whatever else I do tomorrow, I’ll spend a little time reading these wonderful submissions for the Watcher’s Council: Council Submissions The Provocateur – Obama Engulfed By Pay to Play? Rhymes With Right – Impeach Jerry Brown Joshuapundit – Cheney Slaps Biden Upside The Head Bookworm Room – Destruction of Property

Keeping in mind the adage that praise from Caesar is praise indeed, I’m always incredibly flattered when my fellow council members feel that I’ve said something worthwhile, as they did this week.  I also found intriguing the Watcher’s own comment about the underlying message tying my winning post to Fjordman’s

The Watcher, although buried deep under a mountain of snow (’cause this global warming can really be a bitch), was nevertheless able to take some time out from digging to assemble the list of Watcher’s Council nominations — and here they are: Council Submissions The Provocateur – The Irony of

Today, I get to vote on Watcher’s Council submissions.  I’ll be expanding my intellectual horizons reading the following: Council Submissions The Provocateur – Emory’s Corrupt Broken Record Rhymes With Right – Obama Policy Speech In Muslim World? Bookworm Room – Ayers’ life was just a joyous, misunderstood frolic The Colossus

This was a first:  my week was so chaotic, I couldn’t get my nominations in, nor did I get the chance to vote.  However, I can assure you that this week’s winners, placers and show-ers at the Watcher’s Council are worth reading, especially as they focus on the Mumbai massacre

Issues concerning Obama, although not Obama himself, won in the Watcher’s Council this week.  The winning Council post, Joshua Pundit’s The Afghanistan Blues looks at the problem Obama got for himself with that region; and the winning non-Council post, Paul Kengor’s How the Academic Left Elected Obama, examines the mindset
