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.
With the sad departure of Done With Mirrors from the Watcher’s Council there’s a spot available. If you have a blog of your own, please consider applying for a position. If you’ve applied before try again. The rules and responsibilities are here. Please leave your application in the comments to this post or in the post linked above.
The Glittering Eye, “Chicago’s Proposed Mandatory Spay/Neuter Ordinance”
In my submission this week I try to explain my position on the proposed ordinance and hopefully provide some resources for those trying to become better informed.
Soccer Dad, “Two Years”
Soccer Dad reflects on his daughter’s second birthday. Many happy returns of the day.
Bookworm Room, “Examining the Unborn”
Bookworm considers mothers, the unborn, abortion, and newspaper diction rules.
The Razor, “Life in a One Party State: America’s Future Under Obama-Biden”
After reading Scott’s post on Delaware’s experience under single-party rule and being a resident of Chicago I can verify that’s what you can expect. And don’t think that just because for practical purposes there’s only one political party that the importance of party politics decreases. The party divides into factions which divide into subfactions which divide further down to single individuals. Two viable parties keeping each other honest is a better system.
Joshuapundit, “The End Game in Iraq”
I largely concur with Freedom Fighter’s appraisal of the situation in Iraq. As far as I’m concerned all of this stuff was pretty self-evident back in 2003 and it’s why I opposed the invasion. Clue: take people at their word.
Wolf Howling, “Palin in Comparison”
GW does a side-by-side comparison in pictures of Gov. Palin and Sen. Obama.
The Colossus of Rhodey, “http://colossus.mu.nu/archives/272237.php”
In reaction to remarks made in reaction to Gov. Palin’s 17 year old daughter’s pregnancy Hube considers sex ed.
Rhymes With Right, “When Does Human Life Begin?”
This is a subject I’m afraid we’re going to have to treat in the same way as we do religious differences: tolerance of views with which you disagree.
Cheat-Seeking Missiles, “Juno in Juneau”
Laer discusses the “faked pregnancy” story the folks at Daily Kos were so fond of until events made that line of attack obsolete.
The Education Wonks, “China Arnold: Monster”
EdWonk comments on the case of the woman who murdered her child by putting the child in a microwave.
Well, I’ve decided which posts I’ll vote for this week. Which posts would get your votes?
