Wednesday Reading

You don't have presents to wrap and presents to buy, do you? Naah, of course you're all done with all that and have time to put your feet up (and feats aside), stoke the fire, stroke the cat, soak the whistle and enjoy a good read!

That's good, because Watcher of Weasels has posted the Watcher's Council picks for this week's Mighty Posts. Of note: Bookworm and I both put up posts on the same subject; this should be interesting. Also, my nominee for non-Watcher post, Handle Huckabee with Care, was selected because I'm a Conservative Christian who doesn't support Huckabee and I think some attacks on him, including from some Council members, smack of religious bigotry.

Enjoy!
