As you may know the members of the Watcher’s Council each nominate one of his or her own posts and one non-Council post for consideration by the whole Council. The complete list of this week’s Council nominations is here.
Wolf Howling, “Change & The Cessation of British History”
GW posts on the end-run around popular approval of the EU Constitution that the current British government is doing. I guess that when you’re convinced enough of the rightness of something little things like due process and the consent of the governed shouldn’t be allowed to stand in the way.
Rhymes With Right, “The Pittsburgh Airport Incident”
Greg relates an awful experience he and his wife had going through airport security at the Pittsburgh Airport. I’ve never understood how the TSA passes constitutional muster. Perhaps some person better informed than I can explain it to me.
The Colossus of Rhodey, “Whaaat? An Anti-Jihad Comicbook? NOOO!!”
Hube points out that, unlike their predecessors in less enlightened days, the comic book artists of today are, by and large, too sophisticated to support the War on Terror.
Done With Mirrors, “AP Does It Again”
Callimachus catches the AP making claims that the facts don’t actually support. This has become so easy it scarcely seems like good sport any more.
Joshuapundit, “Torture”
Spurred by President Bush’s veto of a bill that passed the Congress banning waterboarding, Freedom Fighter reflects on torture.
Soccer Dad, “A Long Ten Minutes”
Soccer Dad’s nephew is a student at the yeshiva that was the object of a terrorist attack last week and he shares his feelings about the incident with us.
Bookworm Room, “Biology Will Have Its Way *UPDATE*”
Bookworm posts on feminism, contemporary mores, and sexually transmitted diseases.
Big Lizards, “Californichusetts”
Using the overturning of a recently-passed proposition banning same-sex marriage in California by a California court as a springboard, Dafydd ab Hugh posts on homogamy.
The Education Wonks, “Exposing Washington’s Wasteful Ways: Where’s PigFoot?”
EdWonk takes exception with John Murtha’s profligate use of earmarks.
Cheat Seeking Missiles, “Bush Wields a Necessary Veto”
Laer explains why he agrees with President Bush’s veto, mentioned above.
The Glittering Eye, “The Cook County Fiscal Mess”
It’s hard to say which will happen first. Will the voters of Cook County dump the present county government or will the county’s economy collapse?
Right Wing Nut House, “Obama-Rezko and Media Ignorance of “The Chicago Way””
Rick Moran does an expert job of demonstrating that Barack Obama really is a Chicago politician.
Well, I’ve decided which posts I’ll vote for this week. Which posts would get your votes?
