Eye on the Watcher’s Council

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, “More Quincy”

Callimachus returns to posting approvingly on John Quincy Adams, the last American president to support a Jeffersonian foreign policy.

The Colossus of Rhodey, “Moonbat Kucinich Wants to Impeach Bush”

Hube analyzes Rep. Dennis Kucinich’s Bill of Impeachment against George W. Bush. I’m afraid I can’t get too exercised about it. Politically, it’s smart for the Democrats to keep reminding their supporters of how much they hate George W. Bush, the Republican Party, and all that he and they stand for. The impeachment won’t go anywhere for the simple reason that it would be darned hard to preserve the Democratic leadership of the House and Senate from being brought up on nearly the same charges without exposing the impeachment proceedings as entirely politically motivated.

Rhymes With Right, “Left Continues Denigration of McCain’s Military Service, POW Heroism”

Greg considers the belittling of Sen. McCain’s military service. I don’t believe that most of the people in the country share the far left of the Democratic Party’s view of military service and their overreaching on this line of attack can only injure them politically.

The Razor, “South Africa’s Neville Chamberlain”

As I’d hoped Scott is posting on Africa, in this case on Thabo Mbeki’s tacit sujpport for Robert Mugabe.

Hillbilly White Trash, “Dick Morris Gets One Right”

LC critiques the law enforcement only approach to addressing the problems posed by radical Islamist terrorism, correctly in my view.

Soccer Dad, “The Whole Shebaa-ng”

Soccer Dad isn’t happy with the New York Times’s coverage of the issue of the Shebaa Farms, starting with Tom Friedman’s misevaluation of Hezbollah over the years.

Bookworm Room, “Gay Pride Week”

Bookworm reflects on Gay Pride Week, noting something I’ve observed myself: how important exhibitionism seems to be to pride in being gay.

The Glittering Eye, “Afghanistan Update”

Remember Afghanistan?

Cheat Seeking Missiles, “My ANWR Photo Gallery”

Laer posts and comments on a number of pictures of the Alaskan Natural Wildlife Refuge, pointing out the incredible romanticism of those who oppose drilling for oil there.

Joshuapundit, “Warped”

Freedom Fighter comments derisively on a Nicholas Kristoff column on Israel.

Wolf Howling, “And on the Seventh Day, He Rested”

GW posts on Barack Obama.

The Education Wonks, “Paradise, Favorites, and the Evaluation Headgame”

EdWonk explains teacher evaluations.

Well, I’ve decided which posts I’ll vote for this week. Which posts would get your votes?
