Council speak 11/16/2007

The Council has spoken.

This week's winning council post was JoshuaPundit's satirical "Land for peace," American Style. As a good measure I'd like to thank Yaakov Kirschen (Dry Bones) for sending the link to his classic "Occupied Terrirtories" cartoon of 30 years ago.
The overwhelming winning non-council post was Austin Bay's A conversation in Bagram, Afghanistan showing the ambivalence of a soldier who is weary from war and yet is convinced that he is doing the right thing.

In both categories we have ties for the runners up. The council runners up were 1) School District & Cops Agree -- Ignore The Law by Rhymes with Right about a decision to ignore violations of immigration law and 2) Bookworm Room's Racist Talk about Education laying down the ground rules for generalizing by ethnic identification.

The first non-council runner up was my nominee Elder of Ziyon's November 1947 and Annapolis Deja Vu showing that when it comes to Middle East peacemaking not much has changed in 60 years (and that ideas that failed back then are now expected to succeed) and the second is the American Thinker's Stereotyping 101.
