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 "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie"... Accommodating Islam by Joshuapundit, and Creating a European Indigenous People's Movement by The Brussels Journal.  All members, please be sure to link to both winning entries (and to the full results of the vote) in a post.  Right Wing Nut House was unable to vote this week, and was affected by the 2/3 vote penalty...  also, Hillbilly White Trash had a 1/3 vote penalty due to only making a partial vote this week.  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:

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.
