ell, you can count on that Watcher of Weasels to spot a weasel whenever there’s one around, and it seems he’s convinced himself there’s one living and working at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in our nation’s capital.  And typically, he just doesn’t hold himself back well at all.  Here’s the wrap-up paragraph of his rant:

I have little faith or hope for the kind of change being ushered in by a man whose administration spends its time plotting ways to attack private citizens for having different views. I have little hope that a man that appoints a tax cheat to run the treasury can be trusted to do the right thing on any other front. I have little faith or hope in a man that would use the power afforded him by the American people to steal money from successful people and redistribute it like candy to his next generation of voters. I want him to fail because he is failing us by acting like the ultimate weasel that we all knew he was.

Read the rest here.

And Watcher, please, please, please – wash your hands this time after that whole sheep intestine thing!

his proved to be an interesting week with the Watcher’s Council blogfest, with the usual variety, the usual smarts, the usual clarity – and all unusually good.

Winning on the Watcher’s Council side of things was the Colossus of Rhodey with his post on students’ sense of entitlement, as in, “How did I get a bad grade? I was here!” When I was in school, there was no assumption that just showing up would earn you a good grade, but today kids have tread where we never thought to:

A recent study by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, found that a third of students surveyed said that they expected B’s just for attending lectures, and 40 percent said they deserved a B for completing the required reading.

UCI is a prestigious school with very high entry requirements – hardly Boondocks Community College. Incredible Daughter #1 goes to OC’s other excellent university, Chapman, and said this in response to Rhodey’s post:

The problem with entitlement starts with preschool. From an early age we are all given As and all we have to do is keep them. Suddenly when we hit college, we are all given Fs and have to work our way up from it. It’s a difficult mindset to just shift gears to, especially for people who are just used to getting good grades. I’ve never gotten a grade that I didn’t think I deserved, though. There were some times I was a little upset because I tried hard, but you can’t be mad when you look at the math. If you get a C on all of your tests and they are worth 75% of your grade, then it’ll be tough to get an A, no matter how hard you try.

Love that gal.

The winner on the non-Council side, Michael J. Totten, was dealing with another set of entitlement – Lebanese Nazi’s sense that they’re entitled to beat up anyone who criticizes them, or their swastika-like logo. In this case, the critic was Christopher Hitchins, who defaced a Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP)  poster in Beirut and ended up beaten and bruised, having been on the receiving end of their sense of entitlement, as chronicled in Christopher Hitchens and the Battle of Beirut.

My feelings about Hitchens go up and down depending on the subject at hand.  If it’s faith, I grow tired of him quickly because he sounds so pompous … kind of like I used to sound before my faith came to me, come to think of it.  When he talks about world affairs, he gets my attention.  But in this story, he was riveting, because he lived out his faith in decency, which just forced him to deface an SSNP sign with its swastika, resulting in:

Christopher was encircled by four or five of them. They were geared up to smash him, and I reached for his hand to pull him away. One of the toughs clawed at my arm and left me with a bleeding scratch and a bruise. I expected a punch in the face, but I wasn’t the target.

Christopher was the target. He was the one who had defaced their sign. One of the guys smacked him hard in the face. Another delivered a roundhouse kick to his legs. A third punched him and knocked him into the street between two parked cars. Then they gathered around and kicked him while he was down. They kicked him hard in the head, in the ribs, and in the legs.

Jonathan and I had about two and a half seconds to figure out what we should do when one of the SSNP members punched him in the side of the head and then kicked him.

After they fled, this conversation ensued:

“The SSNP,” I said, “is the last party you want to mess with in Lebanon. I’m sorry I didn’t warn you properly. This is partly my fault.”

“I appreciate that,” Christopher said. “But I would have done it anyway. One must take a stand. One simply must.”

I with England would listen to its native son and take a stand against the Islamist thugs who are taking advantage of his countrymen’s kindness … or obliviousness.

For all the winners – including my third place win (HEY!  I’m entitled to a ribbon here!!), check out the Watcher’s post.  And thanks, Watcher, for your superhero-like dedication to this little venture.  Don’t worry; we won’t tell anyone what you look like in those tights.

Y

ou have to hand it to the Watcher of Weasels – he knows a weasel when he sees a weasel, and this week his eyes are on Jack Cafferty, the man who proves CNN can’t make needed personnel decisions.  The Watcher has noted Cafferty’s on-air admission of a growing crush on the First Lady and suggests:

Perhaps we should create a new award called “The Cafferty” so I can avoid those overly negative terms that have come to exemplify a mainstream media that lost any semblance of credibility long ago.

Two thoughts.  At least Cafferty didn’t confess getting a tingle up his leg.  And here’s a bunch of folks who still have every semblance of credibility, the entrants in this week’s Watcher of Weasels blogospheric round-up of the most provocative little dogies out there.

F

or what may be the first time ever, it wasn’t words but pictures (well, pictures of a cartoon saying words) that took a first place in a Watcher of Weasels best ‘o the blogs competition.  And if a picture is worth a thousand words, it’s also worth a couple notches, since my word-laden post on the same topic came in third!

The Nose on Your Face took a first place in the Non-Council category for this fantastic and viciously funny video, Islamic Rage Boy Addresses Muslim TV Exec’s Recent Wife-Beheading:

Runners-up from Non-Council members were The Long War Journal, second place, with Analysis: Pakistan peace agreement cedes ground to the Taliban; a depressing and complete analysis of more horrors from Islam, followed by Chesler Chronicles at Pajamas Media’s A Dutch Hero Comes to Warn Us, Seek Our Support. The Incomparable Geert Wilders, MP, in New York City … hmmm, another post on the horrors of Islam.

We’re on to something here …

Over on the Council side of things, though, the winners’ minds were on other things.  Rhymes With Right was thinking about stupid claims of racism (and equally stupid cartoons), taking first with About The Chimp Cartoon, followed by a three-way tie for second from Council members who were all thinking about Obama’s America: Bookworm Room’s Giving the people what they want, The Razor’s Octomom: A Symbol of Obama’s America, and The Colossus of Rhodey’s Reaction Eric Holder’s “cowards” comment.

See all the winners here.

Thanks, Watcher, for breaking another barrier with that whole “first video ever to win” thing … wow, you’re now a peer of that guy who’s America’s first African-American president.

The reference in the headline is provided to us by the Watcher of Weasels as he posts this week’s contribution to the betterment of mankind, a.k.a., the Watcher’s Council weekly nominations.  The Watcher says he saw the line on a truck, and I get the feeling a lot of the posts linked below will make us react, “But I don’t want to live with their vote!”

Neither does the Watcher, apparently.  His intro posts are always fun, and this one is a barn-burner:

Last night Barack Obama promised the world that he is the answer, the savior to all the ills that he inherited under the treacherous rule of George W. Bush. The mainstream media, as expected from a sycophantic bunch of moronic groupies, neck bobbed in orgasmic approval for the sake of acceptance by the other idiots at the Daily Kos and the Huffington Post.

Well, yup. So anyway, read the posts.  The Council members will, and will vote Thursday evening. Then the Watcher promises us that despite a little forgetfulness last week, he’ll post the winners promptly on Friday morning.  I take him at his word … which is more than I can say for our Prez.

Ooh-wee!  The Watcher of Weasels is really in a snit this week … and it just might have been all the snitty entries submitted by the Watcher’s Council that did it.  It seems the current entries into this weekly review of blogatory excellence are a sour bunch.  Trillion-dollar stick-ups will do that to you … especially if you’re not the sticker-upper. Quoth the Weasel:

Now that our government has signed the biggest fraud into law the officials that some people elected into office have left the country on European junkets. Meanwhile the rug was pulled out from under the stock market and liars such as Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi pat themselves on the back for a scam well done.

Now the President is on the stump targeting “predatory lenders”, seeking to blame them for the problems caused by the elected crooks in Congress (that means you Barney). Worse, President Obama is including a new scheme to prop up people that should have never received home loans in the first place. It seems that the people that played by the rules, the real victims of this national fraud, will continue to take it on the chin; paying their mortgages as their home values decrease below the cost of the loan. No longer are Americans supposed to expect that their homes will be a long term investment. Instead it is a commodity, used by banks for speculation and then nationalized by the very same government that ushered in the policies that allowed mandated everyone to play fast and free with loans.

Whatever happened to just holding onto your house until the value builds back up?  Incredible Wife and I have been through that drill before, and we’ll be holding onto our current house for quite a while. (God willing.)

Anyway, here are the exceptionally sweet posts that helped get the Watcher in such a sour mood:

• Submitted By: The Provocateur – The New Ledger - Deconstructing Paul Krugman

See, there’s so much more to worry about than the pending economic conflagration!  We Council members will take our Paxils and plod through this stuff, voting tomorrow evening so the Watcher can tally up the votes and post the winners Friday.  You can see them here.

Hey, Watcher!  I’m running a bit short of anti-depressants.  Can you email me a few?

A

funny thing happened last week at C-SM: One day my traffic tripled, and the next day I got over four times my average hits. This usually happens when I get a link in a monster blog, but this time it came from Google searches from all over the world for Piotr Stanczak, the Polish geotech engineer who was kidnapped in Pakistan by jihadists, held for several months, and then beheaded.

I wrote a post on his plight, Fair Treatment of Prisoners, which went into what the case of Piotr Stanczak tells us of the Islamists, and more importantly, what it tells us of Obama and the left and their hurry to close Guantanamo. It resonated with the Watcher’s Council, who voted it the second best entry in this week’s Watcher of Weasels blogquest, tying with Mere Rhetoric’s Austrian Jews Too Terrified To List Their Children As Jewish (Plus: Europe Reaches An Anti-Jewish Tipping Point) another story of Islam’s hatred of Jews and other non-Muslims, and the West acquiescence.

Who did us better?  Joshuapundit, with another tale from the same volume, “60 Minutes” Libels Jews And Israel. I won’t watch that show any more – haven’t for years – and neither does the Watcher:

You couldn’t pay me to watch the Sunday night version of the The View meets MSNBC.

After this week’s contest it is clear that one would be challenged to get anything of value from the warped leftist worldview being spewed by the producers of 60 minutes. But that is the challenge every week. This week’s challenge was to find any scintilla of truth from their less than enlightening report from Gaza. If context is everything 60 Minutes is nothing.

Don’t believe me. Go over to winning council member Joshua Pundit and watch how transparent 60 Minutes is in their latest on air attempt to stick it in the back of Israel. Watch the video, pay special attention to the duh factor of Robert Anderson as he sits outside a Palestinian house wondering why the IDF special forces don’t want to be interviewed by the twit. There is stupidity and then there is that moment. Anderson made the Housewives of Orange County look smart by comparison.

I’ll let that last snide remark about my neighbors pass uncontested.

Over on the non-Council side, the winning entry was Chesler Chronicles at Pajamas Media, with a piece that drew heavily from a report by “SFC Ariel Siegelman upon his return from combat operations in Gaza. Siegelman founded the Draco Group as a service in advanced security and training. He served in the Israel Defense Force, Special Forces, as a counter terror operative, counter terror sniper and counter terror instructor. He remains active in the Reserves where he serves on active duty when necessary, as well as an instructor for rapid response teams, counter terror, urban sniper situations, and special warfare tactics.”

And what a report it is! Conventional versus Non-Conventional Warfare and Why Israel Did Not Lose in Gaza makes clear what the rest of the world can’t seem to get – warfare has changed, so the definition of victory has, too. We are no longer in the era of long lines of defeated troops marching slowly back to their demolished homeland.

I also highly recommend American Thinker’s Change: The First Three Weeks, several pages of bullet points outlining the actions of Pres. Obama since he took the Oval Office.  Chilling.

For all the winners and scores, go to the Watcher’s post.

Thanks, Watcher, for captaining the good ship Blogquest, taking man (and Bookworm and Debbie) to where they have never been before … or at least since last week … to a new world where there are a whole lot of words.

he Watcher’s stand-in for the week, Freedom Fighter, has posted the winners in this week’s search for clarity  and truth in our little corner of the blogosphere – and what a big corner it was this week!  We read about Kentucky and Katrina, Daniel Pearl in Pakistan and Shimon Perez in Davos.  An Israeli soldier took us into an apartment in Gaza, and The Right Truth took us into the very will of God.

In other words, just another week with the Watcher’s Council.

Winning in the Council entries was Soccer Dad’s The No-State Solution, seemingly an analysis of Tom Friedman’s latest NYT pontification on the so-called Saudi peace plan, but really more a raw view into the unfairness wrought by Arab hatred of all things Jewish.

Freedom Fighter’s own: “Obama: “Screw Kentucky” came in second.  I rarely write posts about Council posts, but this one moved me to write Obama’s Katrina.

Arab hatred of all things Jewish was at the start of the winner of the non-Council entries, a WSJ piece by Judea Pearl about the death of his son Daniel, and the world’s response:

Neither he, nor the millions who were shocked by his murder, could have possibly predicted that seven years later his abductor, Omar Saeed Sheikh, according to several South Asian reports, would be planning terror acts from the safety of a Pakistani jail. Or that his murderer, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, now in Guantanamo, would proudly boast of his murder in a military tribunal in March 2007 to the cheers of sympathetic jihadi supporters. Or that this ideology of barbarism would be celebrated in European and American universities, fueling rally after rally for Hamas, Hezbollah and other heroes of “the resistance.” Or that another kidnapped young man, Israeli Gilad Shalit, would spend his 950th day of captivity with no Red Cross visitation while world leaders seriously debate whether his kidnappers deserve international recognition.

Daniel Pearl and the Normalization of Evil is not merely a father’s condemnation of his son’s killers; it is his condemnation of a world that gets it all wrong.  I saw an interview with Judea Pearl several  years ago, when he himself sounded like an apologist; now that is gone and Pearl writes a confrontational and powerful piece that should be required reading at every university.

Coming in second was my nominee, Letter to Gaza Citizen: I Am the Soldier Who Slept in Your Home, which is the flipside of the Pearl piece: A Jew pleading to a citizen of Gaza to take an individual step to break the crushing, violent death cult of Hamas and make a stand for peace.

Find out about all the winners at Watcher of Weasels. Thank you, Freedom Fighter, for the number counting.

I

‘m looking for a few good attorneys, specifically conservative attorneys who don’t like government-sponsored race preference programs like affirmative action, who don’t believe homosexuals are a special class, and believe radical Muslims in our midst pose a threat. Here’s what I’d like you to do, today if at all possible:  File an employment application with the civil rights division of the Obama Justice Department.  Be completely upfront about your positions and your affiliations.  Oh, and be sure to say that none of these matter, because you are willing to take the lead of your boss and carry out the judicial policies of the Obama admin.

Don’t worry; this won’t cause you to lose your current well-paid job as a top-flight attorney doing whatever it is you do.  There’s not a snowball’s chance in Al Gore’s fantasy that you’ll ever be hired by Eric Holder’s Justice Department – and that’s exactly what we want to happen, because:

Holder promised senators he would review why career prosecutors in Washington decided not to prosecute the former head of the department’s Civil Rights Division. An inspector general’s report last month found that Bradley Schlozman, the former head of the division, misled lawmakers about whether he politicized hiring decisions.

As you recall, Schlozman’s big “crime” was creating a department that reflected the position of the administration, resulting in the most cooked-up, media-hyped phony scandal of the Bush admin. Now he’s going to be investigated by Eric “Elian Gonzales” “Marc Rich” “FALN” Holder?  Isn’t this a guy who understands a highly politicized Justice Department? Isn’t t his a guy how gets the concept of doing what your Commander in Chief tells you to do? So, my conservative lawyer friends, file those apps, so that when Holder presents his findings to the Senate Judiciary Committee, a friendly GOP senator can call all of you as witnesses, one by one, to testify that the pot is calling the kettle black char-impaired. If you need a little extra motivation, think of the foul, stinking pile of irony in this statement …

Holder’s chief supporter, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said the confirmation was a fulfillment of Martin Luther King’s dream that everyone would be judged by the content of their character.

… and remember, it was the solid, conservative content of Schlozman’s character that caused Dems to condemn him.
