The Watcher's Council nominations for this week are up:

* Cheat-Seeking Missiles - Lipstick Not Only Pig-Hockey Mom Difference - CSM parodies the NY Times's coverage of Palin.
* Bookworm Room - False Syllogisms - BR argues that a lot of the criticism Gov. Palin is taking for her religious beliefs is based on a skewed judgment of religion.
* Wolf Howling - McCain, Fannie, Freddie & Obamafuscation - WH gives a devastating accounting of the ties Democrats have with the failed government run lending institutions. Alas it appears that despite being one of the best compensated politicians on Freddie's and Fannie's payroll, that Sen. Obama is suffering not at all for those ties.
* Rhymes With Right - Hurricane Ike -- The Pissed Off Post - RwR writes about his frustrations trying to get home due to poor communication and an unresponsive government.
* The Glittering Eye - The Anniversary - TGE looks at how 9/11 is commemorated and has criticisms for the way it's been politicized.
* The Razor - There Must Be Blood - TR wants to see some heads roll for the latest financial turmoil. I hope he means that figuratively.
* Joshuapundit - Obama's Connection With The Nation Of Islam - JP looks at the shadowy figures who inhabited Sen. Obama's world. Does this concern anyone?
* The Colossus of Rhodey - The Latest -- and Lamest -- Charge of Racism - TCoR wonders why it's racist to demand that voters be citizens of the country they want to vote in.
* Education Wonk - U.S. City Celebrates Mexican Independence Day - EW writes about a California city that doesn't just celebrate another heritage, but another country's independence!
* Soccer Dad - Osama didn't bark. Why not? - Seven years ago it was a given that 9/11 was just the start. But there has been no follow up attack on American soil. I look at some of the reasons. I never meant to argue that Al Qaeda is no longer a threat, however it has suffered many losses in the past seven years and the Bush administrations role in inflicting those losses ought not to be ignored.
