Right Wing Nut House

There are times when my predilection for forgetfulness costs me dearly.

I have incurred the wrath of the Great God Weasel by not linking to the winners of the weekly Watchers Council contest and have been given a choice in my sentence. I can:

1. Link to the winning posts for the last two weeks; or
2. Be boiled in a rather small but ample cauldron of weasel fat.

Guess which option I chose…

The winners for the week of June 2 are:

Council:

First Place: “Who do you Trust with your Constitution?” from New World Man.

2nd Place: “The Pope at Auschwitz” by Joshuapundit.

Chicago Cubs Hall of Fame first baseman Ernie Banks, beloved icon in the city, had an infectious love of the game of baseball. His favorite saying - “Let’s play two” - as in, an enthusiastic wish to play a doubleheader every day, earned him the sobriquet “Mr. Cub.”

I don’t have quite the same enthusiasm for the Watchers Council, but being one week behind in my postings, there’s a “Let’s play two” edition of the results.
