Category: Watcher of Weasels

The Watchers’ votes have been counted and the results are in.*  Again, there’s a slight summer slump, with fewer nominations and even fewer votes, but we expect that to resolve itself soon.  By the way, there is an opening at the Watcher’s Council.  If you’re interested, read the rules here

As you know, Terry Trippany is the new Watcher of Weasels.  He’s currently finalizing the Weasel’s permanent home, although it still needs a teeny bit more tweaking.  Nevertheless, he’s still compiled this week’s Watcher’s nominations, and it’s very good reading (as always): Council 1. The Glittering Eye – The 2008

It’s the dog days of summer (“Hey,” says my dog.  “Is that an insult?”) and the few Watcher’s still holding the fort through August have voted.  Here are the results: COUNCIL 2 – Bookworm Room – McCainiacs thinking outside of the box 1 2/3 – Soccer Dad – Reuters Rooters

With Callimachus having departed from the scene (sigh….) and summertime taking its hits on a couple of other bloggers (how dare they go on vacation?!), this week’s Watcher’s event is small.  We all know, that good things come in small packages, so please prepare to be impressed by the offerings,

It wasn’t one of my better weeks (as you all have probably noticed, too), but it was a great week’s worth of posts from the other Council members.  I’m therefore very pleased to give you the results of last week’s Watcher’s vote: Votes Council posts 3 Wolf Howling “Obama, Criminalizing

Another week, another opportunity to keep an eye on slipper Weasels.  This week, Glittering Eye is doing the honors of hosting, while our new Watcher gets up to speed.  We now offer you for your enjoyment and edification, these great posts: Council posts 1 Wolf Howling “Obama, Criminalizing Politics &

The Razor did a wonderful job collecting and calculating votes, and now publishing the winners.  Thank you!  And the winners are: On the Council side: 2.64   Joshuapundit: Winning in Afghanistan 1.98   Wolf Howling: PartIII: Why Exploit Our Domestic Resources 1.65   Rhymes with Right: What is a Windfall Profit? 1.32  

While Terry Trippany continues to get up to speed as the new Watcher, The Razor has graciously agreed to host the temporarily peripatetic Watcher’s Council.  Here are the nominations which, as always, look and, I know, will be interesting.  By the way, without having read any of them, my vote

Before I get to my special and exciting announcement, here are the winning entries in the Watcher’s Council vote for this week. On the Council side, first place went to Soccer Dad for Hating israel more than loving palestinians. On the Non-Council side, first place was a two way tie

The Watcher’s are still a little gypsy-like right now, with this week’s host being Soccer Dad.  We’re confident that, in a week or two, we will have settled on a wonderful new and stable home. I have to digress a moment here.  I was thinking about the difference between Council

Among the other things I’ll be reading today will be all of these posts that the Watcher’s Council members nominated.  Without having even read them, I know based on past experience that they will be wonderful, since my fellow Council members are an intelligent and discerning group.  Also, many thanks

Even though the Watcher has retired, the Watcher’s Council marches onwards.  As is always the case, the articles on which we voted were excellent so you can count on it that the Winner’s were good.  On the Council side, first place went to Wolf Howling for Critiquing the Obama Manifesto

The Watcher is retiring which I can assure you is a great loss to sensible thought in the blogosphere.  The Council, however, does not wish to retire, and is in the process of reorganizing so that we can continue in his absence.  We hope to continue in more or less

For the first time, I think, since I joined the Watcher’s Council, I was completely out of the loop for a voting cycle — so much so that I didn’t even read the contributions.  However, because the Council’s reputation precedes it everywhere it goes, I can assure you that the
