Watcher’s Winners, Blago Week
L
ooks like the Midwest-domiciled Watcher of Weasels has de-iced enough to tabulate the votes in this week’s Watcher’s Council Quest for the Holy Flail, wherein bloggers of note push themselves mercilessly to achieve brilliance on the topics du jour.
Coming in first on the Council side of things … well, let me just turn it over to the Watcher, who wrote up a pretty good little summary of the winning entry from Mere Rhetoric, NJDC Tool Aaron Keyak Helpfully Illustrates How Liberal Activists Sneeringly Cocoon Themselves In Asinine Arguments And Dishonest Smears:
We all know that the terms “Huffington Post” and “Intellectually Dishonest” are synonymous but that particular lib playground never seems to disappoint when looking for ways to lower the bar on journalistic integrity let alone a contextual presentation of the facts. Thus NJDC Press Secretary Aaron Keyak’s hit piece usher’s in a new era of self aggrandizing bile that rivals even the most devoid collection of pseudo-intellects that regularly appear in that corner of the internet.
Coming in tied a third of a point behind were me – after two weeks in a row of being skunked out! – with my answer to a Lib reader who asked me what we “won” in Iraq, What, Indeed, Did We Win? and a really good piece from The Provocateur, The Shadow Government of the Obama Administration, about the amazing number of czars and advisors at the pinnacle of the Obama power, none of whom received Congressional review and approval.
On the non-Council side, the run-away winner was Spiked Online’s After Gaza: what’s behind 21st-century anti-Semitism?, a lengthy look at this blight on human behavior that continues to grow and spread.
For all the winners and a nice little introductory essay, check out the Watcher’s site.
I know you like that cold weather, Watcher, but did I mention I’m wearing a short-sleeved shirt today? Whatever. Thanks for bundling up and doing a fantastic job with the weekly Flail.

I’ve decided to run a new weekly post called “weasel watching”. It will include a list of all people that can go outside in short sleeves while I shiver over here in blago land! You are first on that list
