The Watcher’s Council has this week’s selections out and here are the results.
In the council category first place goes to Chaos or Community by Done With Mirrors, with second place going to Ronald Reagan — A Personal Recollection by Dr. Sanity.
In the non-council category first place goes to Just a Second — It’s Not That [...]

Iran is absolutely out of control. What better way to demonstrate maturity and self control regarding nuclear power than to put on a Holocaust conference highlighting ignorance, denial and irresponsibility:
Leaders in Germany and Britain have sharply criticized the announcement of the conference and plans to invite notorious Holocaust deniers as a further example of [...]

Drudge has word that ABC anchor Bob Woodruff and his camerman were seriously injured by an IED in Iraq. Our prayers go out to these folks, as they have for all fighting in Iraq. Journalists do perform brave and selfless acts, that is clear.

I went out on a limb last summer and predicted a Rep pick up of 3 seats. Alexander McClure at Polipundit provides me some confidence in my predictions:
A new Rasmussen Poll has the Minnesota Senate race a near-tie between Klobuchar and Kennedy. This of course means that the GOP has an excellent shot of [...]

Stunning. The consensus of the Chris Mathews panel is the NSA story has been turned to Bush’s advantage and the issue is over. That was a quick surrender.

In discussing the Ambramoff scandal on Fox News Sunday, DNC Chairman Howard Dean claimed no Democrat did anything in response to funds coming from Ambramoff’s direction, and if they did they would be in serious trouble.
A little later in the program, Chirs Wallace pointed out that the Washington Post reported last fall on a letter [...]

This is one of the best round ups on why the news media is failing. This one observation by Hugh Hewitt nails the situation:
There is too much expertise, all of it almost instantly available now, for the traditional idea of journalism to last much longer. In the past, almost every bit of information was [...]

I disagree with Bush on a lot of things. In fact, I would be shocked to find someone in the presidency I agree with 100%. So when someone asks me a question about Bush, I am a ’somewhat’ person. And if I think he could de better I am ’somewhat negative’. [...]

The Global Warming crowd is out wondering if we are reaching a point where we cannot stop the weather, and the Washington Post begins their coverage with a blatant lie:
Now that most scientists agree human activity is causing Earth to warm, the central debate has shifted to whether climate change is progressing so rapidly that, [...]

Hillary has decided to show how a real Democrat leader bows down to the rabid leftwing base.
Sad to see such spineless pandering.

I need to add a category for liberals committing blatant political suicide. Now we have Ellen Ratner out saying Americans are too dumb to understand national security.
Pinkerton broached the NSA surveillance issue, asserting that it is playing very well for President Bush, and suggesting that “if the Dems were smart they’d be talking about [...]

I was going to post about Tim Russert’s clear admission on TV that Wilson and Plame were discussed prior to Novak’s column being printed, but Tom Maguire beat me to it. So check out Tom’s site to see how much fun Andrea Mitchell and Tim Russert are going to have paying lawyers.
One thing I [...]

What is it with the liberals at the LA Times? They are on a mission to attack what many of us hold dear about America. All my favorite memories are doing things with my family and friends, as a kid and as an adult. Now I understand some people don’t have great [...]

The Democrats apparently have not had their fill of failure yet, so they are pandering to their extreme base (the only one they have left) and posturing like there is no tomorrow! But Lincoln Chaffee has dashed any hopes for a filibuster by coming out for an up and down vote (registration required):
Sen. Lincoln [...]

Looks like the kooks have flown the nest again. Today the tin-hatters are going back to the debunked Niger forgery conspiracy theory. This from Counterbalance (do I need to point out that the need for a counterbalance means there is a severe imbalance present?):
Over the past few months, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has [...]
