As you may or may not already be aware, members of the Watcher’s Council hold a vote every week on what they consider to be the most link-worthy pieces of writing around… per the Watcher’s instructions, I am submitting one of my own posts for consideration in the upcoming nominations process.

Here is the most recent winning council post, here is the most recent winning non-council post, here is the list of results for the latest vote, and here is the initial posting of all the nominees that were voted on.

The winning Council post was from Dr. Sanity and his post entitled “WMD and Death by Chocolate.” Still think there wasn’t any WMD found in Iraq? The good Doctor uses an analogy of his “Death by Chocolate” cake and his promise to his neighbors not to make it any more:

Finally, tired of being manipulated by me, and concerned that I might go ahead and bake one of those destructively high calorie cake things, my neighbors force their way into the house and find THAT I HAVE NO CAKE SITTING ON THE COUNTER WAITING TO BE EATEN! How foolish they were to doubt my word! How stupid they were to imagine I might be up to my old chocolate baking tendencies!

On the other hand, they discover while carefully going through my pantry that there are 2 boxes of devil’s food cake mix; chocolate bars, cake pans, pudding mix, flour and sugar, mixing bowls and a number of other questionable items. They even find a recipe book which includes several variants on the “Death by Chocolate” Cake theme—muffins, breakfast loaf, etc

The winning non-Council post was from Varifrank. He also uses an analogy regarding the Iraq war, this time from the standpoint of a neighborhood in danger from a crack house. He sums up the war in terms that even a moonbat should be able to grasp:

When the law begins to act as a shield for criminal activity, it is not a crime to use the law against itself. I do not care if we found a single WMD in Iraq. I would have called for the invasion of Iraq for no other reason than it has supported terrorists and has a long border with Iran and Syria. It was the Tikriti Clan in control of Iraq that was the danger, not what they had in the paint locker.

UPDATE:

Via a comment left by Mike G., we learn this interesting stuff about “Dr. Sanity:”

The good Dr. Sanity’s name is Patricia Santy and she was NASA’s first female flight surgeon.

I’ve been a reader of her blog for about five months now and from it, I’ve also learned that during her tenure at NASA, she became one of the media’s favorite “experts” on the subject of sex in space.

MMMMMMMMMMMM…I guess I’m gonna blogroll this one. Might be some VERY interesting stuff to read.
