(Felix's "Question Any Excuses ..." did well in the voting this week. I HIGHLY recommend reading Francis W. Porretto's Eternity Road blog. He's the frequent Council winner for a reason! I wish I had his writing talent ... !)
And now... the winning entries in the Watcher's Council vote for this week are The Scourging by Eternity Road, and Universal Moral Equivalence by Gates of Vienna. All members, please be sure to link to both winning entries (and to the full results of the vote) in a post. I actually had to cast a tie-breaking vote in the council category this week... I enjoyed Bookworm's post about bias in the Israeli media, but Francis W. Porretto's look at the nihilistic philosophy that drives today's “liberalism” ultimately won me over. Right Wing Nut House was the only member unable to vote this week, and the only member affected by the 2/3 vote penalty. Thanks to everyone for all the great entries this week... I'm eager to see next week's entries! Here are the full tallies of all votes cast:
