The Council Has Spoken
As I explained last week, the main activity of the Wathcer's Council is nominating and voting on the web's outstanding posts each week. The nominations are divided into two categories: posts written by Council members, and, separately, top posts gathered from anywhere on the web. This week's results are in:
The winning post among members of the council was written by some guy named AbbaGav and was called They're Not What You've Been Told, They're Our Neighbors' Kids.
Second place was an amazing three way tie:
Second place went to Patterico's Pontifications for his hilarious yet on-target musings about what could be mystifying the editors at the LA Times: L.A. Times Editors: "We Just Can't Solve the Mystery of Why that Muslim Guy Shot All Those Jews".
If you've written a particularly strong post you'd like to have considered for next week's vote, the process for submitting it for nomination can be found here.
In other Council news, another open seat on the council just became available this week. If you'd like to be considered for the position -- and I recommend it -- check the Watcher's site for details on how you can apply for the vacant seat.

- Joshuapundit reviewed the possibly fictional production Hizballah has presented to the world in The Qana Strike... the Making of a Hezbo-wood Production
- ShrinkWrapped, in a post I'd already highlighted earlier in the week, explained among other things Hizballah's willingness to use human shields by explaining the psychology of Guilt vs. Shame based cultures.
