Council speak 02/08/08

The Council has Spoken.
To all winners, congraulations on a job well done.

The winning council post is (unsurprisingly) A short Hitch by Done with Mirrors. It's a post steeped in history defending the symbolism of the Confederate battle in face of criticism of said symbol by Christopher Hitchens. The most Ridiculous Story of 2008 by Cheat Seeking Missiles a well deserved put down of novelist Michael Chabon's narcissistic and overblown essay hailing the messianic virtues of Sen. Barack Obama.

On the non-council side the winning entry was Changing the organizational Structure at Small Wars Journal; a description of the necessities of a modern anti-insurgency campaign. Runner up was EU Referendum's Mass producers of distortion, describing how the media operate.

Though it didn't place in the top two, I nominated the Provocateur's The terribly mixed record of Alan Greenspan.

If you're a blogger and you like what you see, please consider submitting your own post to the competition. Just followt the rules here. With only 2 first place finishes all year I was pretty far down in the rankings.
