There is no joy in Mudville – mighty Casey has struck out.

Okay, I am totally exaggerating in my post title. Being a conservative, I’m enjoying good mental health (a combination of not taking the MSM too seriously and not viewing myself as a victim). Also, I didn’t really strike out, I just didn’t win.

Oh! You want to know what the heck I’m talking about? I’m talking about the Watcher’s Council, of course. The votes are in and, while I got a vote (maybe two, but I don’t think so), I neither won, placed nor showed. Those honors went to posts better and more deserving than mine.

Because I am, oh so reluctantly, spending the weekend working (that DQ is a harsh taskmaster), I don’t have time to write at length about each of the deserving winners. A listing will have to suffice this week:

On the council side:

2	Buchanan’s New Book: “Prepare Ye for the End” Right Wing Nut House
1  2/3	The Visual Imagery Society The Glittering Eye
1  1/3	Arabs Coming To Annapolis Rhymes With Right
1  1/3	“Apt Natural — I Have a Gub” Big Lizards
1  1/3	Still No Evidence 9/11 Nuts Rule Cheat Seeking Missiles

And on the non-council side:

2 2/3	Have Our Copperheads Found Their McClellan in Retired LTG General Sanchez? Wolf Howling
2	Letter from the Front: Turkey Day in Tikrit Michelle Malkin
1 1/3	The American Non-Empire Captain’s Quarters

Congratulations to all!
