Council speak 03/30/2007

The council has spoken. This week's Watcher's Council winner was Eternity Road's Demographics and the Medicalization of Human Existence a reflection on how vanity leads to poor social choices. The winning non-council post was (unsurprisingly) Michael Yon's Tabula Rasa about what motivated him to become an embed. There are some graphic pictures of death so this isn't for everyone, but the writing is amazing.

There were lots of pairs in this vote. Along with the winning post, Bookworm Room's excellent the Scary Nihilism of the Left was about the ideologies that threaten our culture. Second and third place among council members were Rhymes with Right's and Colossus of Rhodey's essays about the legal limits of the freedom of speech students.

Tied for third place was JoshuaPundit's 3 Card Monte, which, like my submission was about the throwing of good money after bad otherwise known as the "peace process."

Finally as we welcomed our new council member Cheat Seeking Missiles with his timely meditation on possible conflicts of interest Speaker Pelosi might encounter while pursuing her political agenda, Nan Fran's Cool Investments. Given Sen Feinstein's recent resignation, the posting could even have been considered prescient. Similarly, recently retired council member Sundries Shack first non-council entry has been rendered even more relevant by the treatment of the British sailors by Iran.
