The Nominations Are Up

Each week, the members of the Watcher's Council nominate one of their own posts and a second from outside the Council for consideration by other council members in a contest for best post. The Watcher publishes the results each Friday morning.

If you would like to participate in the Council's activites, while there is no opening on the council at the moment, we invite you take part by submitting your own best post of the week through "link whorage." You can find out how in the post here.

This week's nominations are on a wide array of topics - from the direction of America to female genital mutilation to the fall of Lebanon back into Syria's orbit, to name but a few. And in the most humorous post of the week, we have the top 40 reasons for gun control.
