Category: Watcher of Weasels

As far as I’m concerned, this was a very good week at the Watcher’s Council. It’s not just that I placed second, which was nice. More importantly, the non-council post I nominated placed first (and that in itself is a first for me). So, without further ado, let me introduce

Over at the Watcher’s Council, the votes are in, and they are good, especially since most of the posts and articles for which I voted did well, and so did I. On the Watcher’s side, first place went to ‘Okie’ on the Lam for 2001 — Our Own Odyssey Began

The Watcher Council results are in, and they are good. On the Council side, the winning post was Done With Mirrors’ Contemptible, the title of which already tells you everything you need to know about Callimachus’ attitude towards Brian De Palma’s latest piece of anti-American military propaganda.  The post, though,

I’m getting the kids ready for school, and what to slam out the Watcher of Weasel results before I forget. Needless to say, every article is thought-provoking. I had a terrible time voting this week, because I just could not decide which of the Weasel articles was the best. They

The Watcher’s Council results are in, and I’m pleased to report that I came in a very respectable second, behind Big Lizards’ excellent The “Don’t Make Waves!” Theory of Iraqi Politics. That post argues that Americans should focus on important military objectives, and leave the sectarian squabbles alone, unless they

Apologies for not doing justice to the last round of Weasel results, but I just looked at my watch and realized that I’m on carpool duty — again. So briefly and with congratulations to the very deserving winners: Council posts: 2 2/3 My Excellent Adventure At Yearlykos Right Wing Nut

The votes are in and they are good. My post, “He’s not my President,” placed a respectable third, deserved falling behind the first place winner, NEA Also Confused About SCOTUS Decision Regarding Race & Schooling by The Colossus of Rhodey, and the second place winner, Whose Freedom? What Is Speech?,

The last Weasel election passed me by. In the rush before I left for vacation, I submitted a post of mine that did not deserve votes and, unsurprisingly given the acumen of the other Council members, did not receive votes. I also never got the chance to read last week’s

Another week, another vote over at the Watcher of Weasels. I’m very proud of the fact that I won on the Council side, because I think my post was good on its own merits, and because I’m pleased (in a kind of sad way) by how prescient I was when

I’m pleased to say that, as to both winners in this week’s Watcher of Weasel’s contest (council and non-council) are posts I voted for. I thought that they were that good and so, apparently, did everyone else. On the council side, the top two winners were Cheat-Seeking Missiles’ Don’t Know

Once again, the Watcher’s Council has exercised its collective wisdom, and spoken about the batch of articles submitted during the past week to the Watcher of Weasels. I’ve come in from the cold this time, and garnered votes which, in a pathetic reflection on my ego, makes me very, very

As regular readers may know, I haven’t done so well in the last two weeks of the Watcher’s Council — and deservedly so, since the other posts were better than the ones I submitted.  I’m a bit competitive, though, and I’d like to get back in the running, so that

I’m telling myself it was just a fluke, but I feel like an utter failure: Over at the Watcher’s Council, I didn’t get a single vote for my last Watcher’s Council submission. I’m not wailing about the fact that I didn’t win, mind you, because my submitted post wasn’t in

The Watcher’s Council has another vacancy, and is looking for a blogger to step up and fill some mighty big shoes.  (Sundries Shack is stepping down.)  If you’re interested, you should definitely apply, by going here, reading what membership entails and, if you’re interested, submitting your application.
