This week's Watcher's Council's nominations are in.

In That Reason should Rule, The Glittering Eye takes arms against an article in Newsweek arguing that Republicans do a better job of exploiting emotions than Democrats and asks that we allow reason to govern our important choices. (Would it be wrong to point out that Cheat Seeking Missiles and I have also responded to the article?

In the wake of the defeat (for now) of the immigration reform package, Big Lizards argues in Spin City Here we Come that it would be folly for Republicans/conservatives to run against the President, given that, despite his faults and failings, he has mostly followed a conservative agenda.

Done with Mirrors hunts the Snark.

In Democrat debate thy name is irony, The Colossus of Rhodey.Hube does a nice systematic job of pointing out the ironies (or hypocrisies) of the positions taken by the Democrats at their recent debate at Howard University.

In a similar vein, Bookworm Room criticizes certain explanations of racial behavior in Condescension as Bigotry.

Okie on the Lam mocks rock star Al Gore - A pompous ... for his feel good-do nothing Live Earth concert scheduled in a few days.

Cheat Seeking Missiles seeks out and destroys PC idiocy with the quote of the day: Islamophobia edition.

Rhymes with Right argues that The Libby Commutation was the wrong move because it hurts Libby's appeal. This is something I hadn't thought about.

In This I believe, Education Wonk lays out his political beliefs in a very appropriate Independence Day post.

JoshuaPundit does a fine job of pointing out the unintentional endorsements President Bush gave while he visited a mosque last Wednesday in Where your president was Wednesday morning insh-allah.

In Cage Match: Assimilation vs. Multiculturalism Right Wing Nuthouse takes on the beast that is diversity.

My own contribution to the Watcher's Council this week was the Terror under the Carpet, a look at how one reporter finds blame for the situation in Gaza in everyone's actions except those of the Palestinians.

Read. Enjoy. Be informed.
