The Council has spoken and I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I am deeply flattered that I won this week’s edition. I was blown away by other people’s posts and didn’t suspect that I could even be in the running: The Council has spoken, the votes have been

Here’s what I’m reading right now: Welcome to the Watcher’s Council, a blogging group consisting of some of the most incisive blogs in the ‘sphere, and the longest running group of its kind in existence. Every week, the members nominate two posts each, one written by themselves and one written

March 27 is my sister’s birthday, but it seems as if I’m the one who got the gift.  Just check out last week’s winners at the Watcher’s Council: The Council has spoken, the votes have been cast, and the results are in for this week’s Watcher’s Council match up.

If you thought last week’s Watcher’s Council nominations were good (and they were), I can assure you that you ain’t seen nothing yet: Welcome to the Watcher’s Council, a blogging group consisting of some of the most incisive blogs in the ‘sphere, and the longest running group of its kind

This past week’s Watcher’s Council forum asked Council members and honored guests to discuss whether America is in decline.  I actually chimed in on this one, although if  you have limited time, you will learn much more from reading the other contributions, not mine: Every week on Monday morning ,

Gawd!  Last week presented an almost impossible slate of nominations to vote for at the Watcher’s Council.  Each post was extraordinary, and a vote for one was an unreasonable dismissal of another.  I am very honored, therefore, to have placed second in the ultimate results.  Here are all of the results,

I’m sounding like a broken record, but every week it’s true:  Bad times make for good writing, especially when you have writers of the caliber found at the Watcher’s Council.  (And yes, it sounds as if I’m complimenting myself, but this really is aimed at my fellow council members.  I’m

This was yet another week when I would cheerfully have given my first place votes to every single member of the Watcher’s Council.  Honestly, my fellow Watchers are on fire! The Council has spoken, the votes have been cast, and the results are in for this week’s Watcher’s Council match

Here’s the Watcher’s post, introducing this week’s nominations: Hillary Clinton is one of those people who should have resolved a long time agonever to lie. She’s absolutely awful at it. Aside from violating the Federal Records Act, there’s also the question of National Security. Unless Mrs. Clinton spent a great

Another politically unnerving week; another splendid round of Watcher’s Council nominations.  Read along with me as I try to figure out how to cast my votes this week.  While you’re reading, you may also want to check out the Watcher’s Council’s CPAC forum and learn the identity of the Weasel of

Letting you know who won last week’s Watcher’s Council vote is just one more thing that fled my mind when the legal work piled up. Better late than never, though, right?  Oh, as you read it, please note how our august Watcher Rob Miller doesn’t just do a laundry list

Here’s the nomination post, straight from the Watcher’s own keyboard: Welcome to the Watcher’s Council, a blogging group consisting of some of the most incisive blogs in the ‘sphere, and the longest running group of its kind in existence. Every week, the members nominate two posts each, one written by

I may have been away last week when the Watcher’s Council voted on its nominations, but that doesn’t mean I’m not thrilled and fascinated by the vote’s outcome. Please read and enjoy the winners, placers, and showers, not to mention all the other posts: The Council has spoken, the votes

Before I give you the results post for last week, a few housekeeping tasks. First, be sure to check out last week’s Weasel of the Week, who is a very deserving weasel indeed. Second, be sure to check out the forum, which asks Council members how they feel about their

It’s time again for the weekly Watcher’s Council vote. Before I reprint the nominations post from the Watcher’s Council site, I also wanted to give you the heads up about this week’s forum (in which several council members look at whether journalism is dead), as well as the Council’s choice
