The Watcher's Council Has Spoken!

Each and every week, Watcher of Weasels sponsors a contest to see what are some of the most link-worthy posts from the conservative side of the 'Sphere. The winning entries are determined by a jury of 12 writers (and The Watcher) known as "The Watchers Council."

The Council has met and voted on this past week's submitted posts.

Council Member Entries: In the third consequtive vote in which The Watcher had to break a tie, The Glittering Eye won first place with A Sketch History of U.S. Military Bases in the Middle East: The Overthrow of Mossadegh. The first runner-up was Gates of Vienna's The Counterterrorism Blog Looks Into the Face of Evil.

Non-Council Entries: Iraq the Model's entry called Iraqis Preparing to Decide took top honors.

Special Announcement: The Watcher's Council has one vacancy. The Watcher invites interested writers to apply for Council membership. Get additional information here. The rules of the Council, as well as the application guidelines, can be found over there.

Update (PM) The vacancy has been filled. Eric's Grumbles Before the Grave will be joining the Council. Congratulations and welcome aboard!
