Council speak 05/16/08

The council has spoken.

This week I was honored by being |(narrowly) voted to the winning entry by my fellow council members for "Evolution" = "Growth|".

The entries I won out over were JoshuaPundit's Lebanon becomes Hezbollahstan and Wolf Howling's The Audacity of Newsweek. The former was a blow by blow account of how Hezbollah took control of |Lebanon |(Was it only two years ago that everyone seemed to think that |Israel's self-defense was the worst thing that could happen?|) and the latter is a fine fisking of one of the |MS|M's most egregious examples of |Obama worship.

In the non-council section of the voting there was a tie, broken by the Watcher himself, with first place going to Numb from Kaboom: A Soldier's War Journal. |It's easy to say that a war needs to be fought. But there are real people who fight it and who sacrifice their physical if not mental well being to do so. The runner-up was Baseball Crank's |Yes, Experience |Matters, my nominee.

Thanks to my fellow council members and congratulations to all the winners.
