There’s an opportunity for a blogger out there, ’cause AbbaGav has stepped down from the Watcher’s Council and left an opening for an aspiring young blogger. I cannot express how good it was to serve on the council — the exposure is great, the traffic is fab, and it’s just plain fun. So go petition the Watcher.

It’s time to submit your links to the Watcher’s Council for this week’s contest. Last week Dr. Sanity won the council members category with A Nation that Stands for Nothing Deserves a Media that Believes in Nothing. In part:

My father who died last year was proud, proud, proud that he fought not just in WWII, but on Iwo Jima. At his funeral, a Marine talked about the battle of Iwo Jima and the thousands who died there.

This was not public relations. This was not a “slogan” or military propaganda. This was a profoundly humbling and moving honor to my father, who considered his service to this country as one of the most significant and important parts of his life.

That such an article could question this honor; or deride the motivation to honor those who have fallen; only further confirms the anti-American agenda of those who claim to be “objective” and “neutral”, but who are virulently antiwar and anti-American.

Journalist and photographer Michael Yon posting from Iraq won the non-members category with Gates of Fire:

BamBamBamBam! Bullets were hitting all around Kurilla. The young 2nd lieutenant and specialist were the only two soldiers near. Neither had real combat experience. AH had no weapon. I had a camera.

Seconds count.

Kurilla, though down and unable to move, was fighting and firing, yelling at the two young soldiers to get in there; but they hesitated. BamBamBamBam!

Read it all.

Then peruse the list of all entries that received a vote from the nominees. If you want to participate read the Watcher’s instructions.

A colleague paid me a high compliment when she told me that my post Israeli Pride; Israeli Angst made her cry. I am honored again as the post won this week’s Watcher’s Council in the non-members category.

But my post pales in emotive comparison to Dymphna’s An Open Letter to Cindy Sheehan at Gates of Vienna. Read it. It’s sad. It’s beautiful. It’s blogging at its best.

It’s time to submit your posts to the Watcher’s Council as they hold a vote every week on submissions and deem one to be the most link worthy. I myself am taking advantage of the Watcher’s offer. To see what it’s all about take a look at last week’s winning council post and winning non-council post. Or, if you prefer, you can peruse all of the entries that received a vote or even all the posts that were nominated. There’s some good stuff there.
