Watcher's Council Results, 7/25/08

The Council has spoken!

And now(drum roll...) the winning entries in the Watcher's Council vote for this week are :

Among the Council members, Who Knew? by Done with Mirrors, a wicked piece contrasting the rhetoric of certain Democrats now who voted against the Iraq Authorization to use force with what they're saying now carried off the honors.

Tied for second were Wolf Howling - Deconstructing the Socialists War On Law & Order In Britain a great piece on how Labour has affected public safety in the UK and Bookworm Room - The moral of the story , a charming exposition on a chief ingredient in classic literature and
why modern remakes of novels like Pride and Prejudice who leave it out so often fall flat.

Also getting votes were Soccer Dad - Horribly Wrong Part II and The Razor - Speak truth to power - just not to educators.

In the Non-Council category, the winner was Stars and Stripes - Soldiers Recount Deadly Attack On Afghan Outpost, a story JoshuaPundit covered on these pages about the actual heroic story of a Taliban attack on a US base that the dinosaur media reported on very selectively.

In second place was Council alumnus Rick Moran at Right Wing Nuthouse with When it's Obama's War, a well written piece who's central premise I unfortunately disagree with...Iraq will always be the war of BushHitler and the Neocons because that's how the Left plays the game when one of their icons is involved.

A shout out to Soccer Dad for a superb job in hosting the Council this week. Next week's hostess of the council vote is scheduled to be Bookworm Room...and as always, congratulations not only to the winners, but to the participants.

Look for a major announcement regarding the Watcher's Council soon.
