JoshuaPundit on May 29 2013 |Nominations

Welcome to the Watcher’s Council, a blogging group consisting of some of the most incisive blogs in the ‘sphere, and the longest running group of its kind in existence.

Every week, the members nominate two posts each, one written by themselves and one written by someone from outside the group for consideration by the whole Council.Then we vote on the best two posts, with the results appearing on Friday.

This is your weekly magazine of the best in opinion and commentary from around the web..everything you need to know to stay on top of things.

This week’s contest is dedicated to Ray Manzarek…a wonderful musician and a sweet soul who finally broke on through to the other side.So long, Ray..RIP:

Council News:

Council alumnus Trevor Loudon of New Zeal has a new book out entitled “The Enemies Within” that focuses on the real details of communists, socialists and radicals now in the US congress.

“The Enemies Within” is due out August 20th,and you can pre-order here.
