Yegads, we forgot to post the exaulted winners of the Watcher of Weasels’ Council for January 7. Rather than add them to Around the ‘Sphere, we’ll give you this special edition. Note that even though the WofWC votes and picks a council member post, ANYONE can submit their post for consideration. Any post can be submitted, unless the post has a horse tied to it.
The January 7 posts with the winners are listed here.
COUNCIL WINNER: The Education Wonks’ Student’s Classroom Beating Caught On Video Tape. (We linked to this one in a Sphere edition).
NONCOUNCIL WINNER: The Dipolmad’s More Unreality But The Dutch Get it.
All the ones on the list are great (you might want to check them out) but here are a few that also got a larger number of votes:
—Dr. Sanity on A Sense of Entitlement.
—Darn Floor ponders the theological meaning of the tsunami with The Elephant In The Living Room.
–And while you’re on the subject, read The Anchoress’ A Tsunami Cannot Be Drawn In Pastels.
