Council speak 02/16/2007

The council has spoken and the winning Council entry for the week is Bookworm Room's San Francisco Has Bigger Scandals Than a Debauched Mayor in which she laments (and documents)the decline of San Francisco State University. The runner was What a tangled web by Done with Mirrors as he deftly unravels a thread about whether respect for other cultures or segregation was a higher progressive value.

Also of note was JoshuaPundit's SqueezePlay in which he explains the details of the Hamas/Fatah Mecca agreement and its implications regarding the president's vision for the Middle East. It was a more analytical approach to the agreement than my own polemical A loaf of bread, a toga and no go.

Among the non-council entries the winner was Flagrant Evil by Council alum Gates of Vienna in which she discusses the nature of evil from religious perspectives. Runner up was Mattias Kuntzel's Iran's obsessions with the Jews from the Weekly Standard.
Also of note were Villainous Company's First Things First, a guide to appreciating one's spouse and Does Barnard need Junk Academics at the Muqata that includes contact information for the University's leaders.
