The Council Has Spoken!
First off... any spambots reading this should immediately go here, here, here, and here. Die spambots, die! And now... the winning entries in the Watcher's Council vote for this week are Sometimes Ya Gotta Speak Up by e-Claire, and Update 11 - The Sep. 12 Attack by Citizen Frank. All members, please be sure to link to both winning entries (and to the full results of the vote) in a post. Three members were unable to vote this week... but Terrorism Unveiled and The Resplendent Mango were the only members affected by the 2/3 vote penalty. This penalty left a tie in the council category which I ultimately decided to break in favor of e-Claire. Thanks to everyone for all the great entries this week... I'm eager to see next week's entries! Here are the full tallies of all votes cast:
| Votes | Council link |
|---|---|
| 2  2/3 | Sometimes Ya Gotta Speak Up e-Claire |
| 1  2/3 | New Nazi Connections King of Fools |
| 1  1/3 | Absolutely Majnoon! Terrorism Unveiled |
| 2/3 | Story Ripped from the Headlines Alpha Patriot |
| 2/3 | Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About HR 163 Ubique Patriam Reminisci |
| 2/3 | Teresa Wrong... If There’s an October Surprise, It’ll Be WMD, Not OBL. Aaron's Rantblog |
| 2/3 | Florida Judges Uphold Right to Kill Damnum Absque Injuria |
| 1/3 | First the Women, Now the Children... The Resplendent Mango |
| Votes | Non-council link |
|---|---|
| 2 | Update 11 - The Sep. 12 Attack Citizen Frank |
| 1  1/3 | The Eyes of the Undefeated The Mudville Gazette |
| 1  1/3 | Shape Up, Shut Up, or Ship Out ¡No Pasarán! |
| 1 | The Kennedy That Is and the Kennedy That Never Was. Just Some Poor Schmuck |
| 1 | A Challenge to Those Who Claim That the SwiftVets' Allegations Have Been "debunked" or Are "unsubstantiated" BeldarBlog |
| 2/3 | Debating the Invasion of Iraq -- Three Questions for the Pro-War Blogosphere The Volokh Conspiracy |
| 2/3 | Is Kerry Hoping for "Tet"? The Interocitor |
| 2/3 | Ban? What Ban? Captain's Quarters |
| 1/3 | Leggo My Eggo The Countertop Chronicles |
I thought it would be best to leave out the entries that didn't receive any votes at all. The fractions come from the splitting of the votes... primary choices counted as 2/3 of a vote and secondary choices counted as 1/3. Both counts for primary and secondary choices were then added all together. I could have avoided using fractions, but it would have put the results on a completely different scale... I'd rather that the total reflect how many people actually voted. Please send any questions, comments, complaints, criticisms, crude insults, or thinly-veiled threats to this address.
That's the second time I've lost the tie-breaker.
Posted by: King of Fools at October 1, 2004 02:15 PMYou actually have a good point now that I look at it that way. This was article was more about markup than anything. haha I should restrain myself from commenting in the wee hours of the morning and going on my own rant. cnlogistic A yes I do I agree with you. At the end of the day It’s all about mark up. winrelocation It’s what makes the difference.
