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.
Done With Mirrors, “Get Your Grim Milestone Today?”
Callimachus slams the predisposition of lazy journalists to toll the “grim milestones” in Iraq.
The Glittering Eye, “A Taxonomy of Mea Culpas”
I’ve had it about up to here with the lame explanations people who’ve offered bad advice on Iraq have for their errors.
Joshuapundit, “Genocide By Inches”
Freedom Fighter posts on the terrorist attack that killed a number of yeshiva students a little while back.
Soccer Dad, “It’s All in the Branding”
Soccer Dad considers the PR battle aspect of the War on Terror. My view is that we’ve always been doomed to loose that particular component.
Bookworm Room, “What Would You Do?”
Bookworm is still fulminating on the Obama/Wright matter and offers a thought experiment to help focus your thoughts.
Cheat Seeking Missiles, “Beer-Soaked Politics”
It’s funny how speculations transmogrify into known facts and then into foregone conclusions. Laer offers an example on a beer cap.
Wolf Howling, “A Conversation With Sa’ad”
GW has an extremely interesting interview with an Iraqi translator who just happens to be staying with him. I can’t help but wonder if thereby hangs a tail.
Rhymes With Right, “# Municipal Internet — Deader Than a Doornail?”
Greg notes that the various municipal Internet wireless projects that are being proposed around the country have run into a few snags.
The Colossus of Rhodey, “Question “Authority””
Hube takes down a left wing political comic book.
The Education Wonks, “Virgina Taxpayers Made To Pay For Criminal’s Rampage”
EdWonk is outraged that the taxpayers of Virginia will be forced to pay for the Virginia Tech massacre of last year. This is a perfect case for sovereign immunity.
Right Wing Nut House, “Welcome To a Brave New World”
Rick Moran considers the new government in Pakistan. I’ll repeat my opinion: the Pakistanis are engaged in a fan dance. There’s no chance whatever that they’ll deal with the Taliban and Al Qaeda in the autonomous tribal areas.
Well, I’ve decided which posts I’ll vote for this week. Which posts would get your votes?
