Council speak 01/11/08

The council has spoken and wow! Two blowouts. In my time on the council I haven't seen anything like this. One blowout I expected, on the non-Watcher's side, Maj Andrew Olmsted's final post, Andy Olmsted, at Obsidian wings was the going away favorite. Out of a possible maximum of 8, the entry earned 6 2/3. That's huge. The runner-up on the non-council side was Dr. Sanity's Orchestrated Circuses and Clowns, a melancholy meditation on the field of candidates we have this year.

On the council side the winning post was Wolf Howling's Britain's Prosecution of The Blogger Lionheart for Criticism of Islam a comprehensive introduction to a disturbing attempt of the British government to stifle improper thought. Since the runner up was mine, let me give you some other runners up. First there was the Cotton Candy Candidacy by Right Wing Nuthouse, an enchanting look at the past of the primary system and a cynical look at one of the current front runners. Cheat Seeking Missiles explored the way the media ignored the "honor killings" of two Texas sisters in Honor Killings? What Honor Killings? JoshuaPundit's touching, personal tribute to Maj. Andrew Olmsted R.I.P. was the other second runner up.

Congratulations to all winners.
