The New Year is upon us and the Watcher’s Council members have submitted their last official articles chronicling the most weasely acts of 2008. Today is December 31st, New Years Eve, and it has proven to be historic in nature. This day in history has ushered in the following: 1864 – The above image appeared [...]

Both Council and Non-Council winners deal with the false optimism catered in by the idea of hope and change. The Razor’s winning entry discusses the history of the world wide symbol of peace. Rather than concentrate on the the idea of peace the Razor delves into the forces that used the symbol as a weapon [...]

It’s Christmas time in the Watcher’s house and I warn you, I write this post as an angry person. I vow however that I will not let the people that run this country spoil Christmas for me or my family. In fact they give me strength to fight more after this brief break that allows [...]

The votes are in and The Wathcer’s Council has spoken. I found it interesting that the two winning submissions may on the surface appear to be about two entirely unrelated topics. Yet when read back to back, Bookworm first, Fjordman second, it seems clear to me that the shortsightedness of multicultural elitists stems from the [...]

Yes, despite the fact that 2008 will be the coldest year since 1997 global warming aficionados [...]

This is a hard article to post. Not because of the winners but because the WoW selections tend to cluster around the week’s primary topics of discussion but are not spread out in the breadth of this week’s selections. The top winners cover two completely unrelated topics. The winning council submission comes to us from [...]

Illinois residents, including myself, got an early Christmas Present this year when Governor Rod Blagojevich was hauled out of his residence on corruption charges that are sadly unsurprising for politicians from a Chicago political machine that can not shake corruption no matter how many predecessors land in jail. This current corruption scandal reaches all the [...]

This week’s winning submissions are tallied and out the door. The two top winning council entries deal with Islamic terrorism. In a sort of ironic twist Right Truth’s first place submission deals with the topic of political correctness versus security concerns at a time when Muslim groups are speaking out against a Lego toy that [...]

This week’s submissions come at a time of great unrest in the world. While those in the United States gave thanks others in the world suffered the terrible consequences of Islamic terrorism. While I have no doubt that many on the American left celebrate the departure of President Bush for what they consider as a [...]
