Wednesday Reading

There was a mess up with my nomination email to the Watcher of Weasels yesterday, but he was kind enough to nominate a post for me, Burying a Hate Crime. I had nominated a different post, Our Crumbling Civilization: Penn State Edition, so it'll be interesting to see how the voting turns out.

Because of the mess-up, my nominee for non-Watcher's Council post didn't get listed, but it's a good one from Wake Up America that's well worth reading: NBC Reverses Position on Freedoms Watch Ad.

So with that bookkeeping out of the way, here are this week's nominees. Council members will vote Thursday afternoon and winners will be posted here Friday morning.
