Wednesday Reading - 2008/2009 Edition

O

ut with the old, in with the new … and read some really good stuff in the process.  The Watcher of Weasels has posted this week’s entries into the best o’ the blogs competition - a real marathon this time, starting in 2008 and not ending until 2009.

The entries cover some pretty monumental topics, but as  you read them consider the list of what happened on this date, Dec. 31, over the years, as posted by the Watcher, including these highlights:  The end of WWII (1946), Yasser Arafat’s first terrorist raid on Israel (1964) and, for those of you who are thinkin’ about drinkin’ tonight, the introduction of the “drunk-o-meter” breathalyzer in 1938.

Council Submissions

Non-Council Submissions

Watcher’s Council members will submit their votes tomorrow evening, and you’ll find the results here Friday morning. Thanks, Watcher, for not spilling spiked eggnog all over the entries.

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
