The Council Has Spoken!
http://www.deanesmay.com/posts/1173451866.shtml


   The Watcher's Council has announced its picks for the most outstanding
   posts of the preceding week. The winning Council post was
   [1]Joshuapundit's post, âBetween Iraq and a Hard PlaceâWhy We Went,
   How It Got So Screwed Up, and Where We're GoingâPart 2â. I disagree
   with Freedom Fighter's interpretation of events in a number of
   particulars and we have a side-bet going on U. S. withdrawal from Iraq
   but it's certainly a thought-provoking post. Second place honors went
   to [2]Right Wing Nut House's âDeath of a Titanâ. Rick Moran's
   reflections on the death of historian Arthur Schlesinger are
   definitely worth reading.

   The winning non-Council post was [3]Websurdity's post, âUncomfortable
   Question: Was the Death Star Attack an Inside Job?â. Tied for second
   place were [4]SWJ Blog's post, âIraq Trip Reportâ (dry title; probably
   the best status report on Iraq this year from any source) and
   [5]KerplunkâShaken Not Stirred's, â10 Institutions That Ruin the
   Worldâ#1â. I can't say I'm in complete agreement with this post, a
   pillorying of the UN, but, obviously, some Council members disagree
   with me.

   The complete results are [6]here.

   A position on the Watcher's Council has become available. If you have
   a blog, consider applying. The rules [7]are here.
