The new Watcher's Council nominations have been submitted.

A Shot in the Dark - Done With Mirrors tries to bridge the gap between gun nuts and gun grabbers.
Orwell's Britain Is Halal Toast - Wolf Howling demonstrates how absurd restrictions on language keep England from appropriately addressing its internal threat.
About Those "Lies" - The Colossus of Rhodey turns the "lies" of the Bush administration on their head. What's good for the donkey is good for the elephant.
How to Lie About Lying - In the post that launched Bookworm Room's post, Big Lizards masterfully deconstructs the "database of lies" story carried by so much of the media two weeks ago.
The Media, Richard Scaife, and the Never Ending Soros Connection - Bookworm Room uses the recent "news" story about the lies President Bush peddled to lead the country into war with Iraq as a jumping off point to highlight the pernicious influence of George Soros on our political discourse. She also notes that Soros's role in our political process is whitewashed to a large degree, in a way that Richard Scaife never was.
State of the Union, 2008 - The Glittering Eye casts a jaundiced eye on the state of the union. What he sees is policy driven by inertia the result of a sclerotic leadership class.
Quote of the Day: Prez Bill Edition - Cheat Seeking Missiles imagines that Democrats will be having nightmares for the next 4 1/2 years (see Right Wing Nuthouse below). This also must be read in conjunction with the entries from the Glittering Eye and Rhymes with Right.
Energy Independence -- What It Am And What It Ain't - In a post that educates and cuts through the nonsense, Joshuapundit outlines the steps we need to take to, at least, reduce our dependence on oil from the Middle East. The means exist, they just need to be utilized.
Repeal the Twenty-Second Amendment - Rhymes With Right believes that presidential term limits is an idea that never should have come and that Hillary's campaign is an end run around the amendment.
The ACLU: Senator Craig's Newest Pals - The Education Wonks gives a lesson in rights and wrong to the ACLU. Not that they'd understand.
The GOP Comes A’Courtin’ - Right Wing Nut House will be having nightmares over the next 4 1/2 years, at least.
My entry Complicit shows how the media was complicit in Hamas's plans to destroy the border fence at Rafah.

Read, Enjoy. Be Informed.
