The Watcher’s Council has announced its picks for the most outstanding posts of the preceding week. The winning Council post was Bookworm Room’s post, “Cornelia, Mother of the Gracchi†(for which I voted). Second place honors went to Done With Mirrors for “After Iraq†(for which I also voted).
The winning non-Council post was Blackfive’s post, “COIN: the Gravity Wellâ€. If you haven’t read it and you only read one post today, read this one. Probably the sharpest piece on fighting the Long War smart that I’ve read in a long time and, since I nominated this post, I’m very gratified by this result. Second place honors went to Laurie Kendrick’s post, “God Calledâ€. This very fine post is a transcript of a telephone conversation with the Almighty.
The complete results are here.
