Is it Howdy Doody Time?

By Michael Haltman, on January 25th, 2012

Nope, it’s even better than that! It’s Watcher’s Council nominations time!

But before we start who and what is the Watcher’s Council?

The Watcher’s Council is a long-standing group of 15 conservative bloggers from around the world and the winner of the 2011 Fabulous 50 Blog Award in the category of Best Conservative Blog-Ring.

Each week, first thing Wednesday morning, we the members of the Watcher’s Council make known our two articles for public consumption; one of our own (Council) and one from somewhere around the blogosphere (Non-Council) that address issues we feel are particularly timely and important to present.

After a secret ballot among the members, Friday morning the winners in each category are announced and the grand prize, the appreciation of our peers, is awarded! Stay tuned!

For the week of January 23, 2012 the nominations are…
