The worse things are in the world, the more on their mettle the Watchers are, and the better the posts they submit.  It was another challenging week when it came to separating wheat from wheat (there was no chaff), but the council did speak, and here are the results: Council

The problem with blogging as a hobby is that it always has to yield to other demands on my time.  Today was one of those “yielding” days.  I didn’t realize the day would slip away from me so quickly.  If I had, I would have posted these Watcher’s Council submissions

The one good thing about bad news is that it sparks the creative juices in those who obsessively follow the political scene.  No wonder, then, that the Watcher’s Council submissions this week were so good, and the winners so deserving of that honor: Council Winners *First place with 4 votes!

Every week, you think “It can’t get better than this,” and then every subsequent week . . . it’s better.  This week, from the Watcher’s Council: Council Submissions The Noisy Room – Policing the Schutzstaffel The Razor – Why I Oppose the Nomination of Susan Rice to Secretary of State

I wish I could get paid $100 for every time I’ve ended up in fourth place on the Watcher’s Council list.  I’d be a much richer woman today if those payments had happened.  As always, though, it’s all good and the top winners truly deserve the recognition they received from

This is what I’m reading right now, and with great pleasure too: Council Submissions The Independent Sentinel – A Moral Dilemma Simply Jews – The Pillar of Defense fiasco The Political Commentator – James Clapper – Why does this man still have a job in the Obama administration? The Noisy

The Watcher’s Council members took time off from turkey and stuffing to read and vote on the Thanksgiving week submissions.  If you haven’t read the submissions, they’re good, damn good.  The winners, placers, and show-ers are below.  But first, a little reminder that the Watcher’s Council forum is up.  I

From the Watcher’s Council: Council Submissions The Colossus of Rhodey – It Ain’t Time to S.T.F.U.

The Independent Sentinel – Obama Is a Narcissist Who Rules a Narcissistic Nation Joshuapundit–An Answer

I’ve lost count of the number of times I end up in Fourth Place at the Watcher’s Council.  It’s a comfortable spot, and I’ve found it again: Council Winners *First place with 3 votes! Joshuapundit – Taking DC By Strategy – A Battle Plan Second place with 2 1/3 votes

Sorry about the prolonged silence, but I was in caregiver mode today.  I’m happy to report that those under my care are well, so it was a good day.  It just wasn’t a productive day for anything other than family stuff.  If I get the chance, I’ll write tonight; if

The Council has spoken and I’d be lying if I said the result wasn’t personally gratifying.  I suspect it has a lot to do with looking forward from (instead of backwards to) the election to a future time when the administration will be forced to answer questions about Benghazi. Council

You can read this great stuff too: Council Submissions The Political Commentator – Hurricane Sandy has been a “big f—ing deal!” in New York and New Jersey! The Noisy Room – Even Without Bread, We Must Have Circuses The Colossus of Rhodey – What the Right constantly has to deal

The Council has spoken and, as was inevitable, all is good: Council Winners *First place with 3 1/3 votes! Joshuapundit –Obama Agonistes: The Fiction Cracks On Benghazi Second place with  1 2/3 votes – The Razor – Ending Radio Silence Third place *t* with 1 1/3 votes – The Noisy

It’s a new month and a new round of Watcher’s Council submissions.  Given that this is our last batch before the election, I’m willing to bet that every last one of them deserves a first place vote: Council Submissions The Noisy Room – Presidential Depraved Indifference The Political Commentator –
