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, there is no permanent opening on the council at the moment, so if you would like to submit your blog for permanent membership, but if you would like to self-nominate one of your posts for competition in the Non-Council category, you will find the instructions for that at the Watcher's site" in the right hand side bar.

As always, this week's nominations present an eclectic mix of thought-provoking reading To the extent there is an overriding theme in the Council submissions this week, it appears to deal with the decline in effectiveness of the race card.

Do enjoy them all:
