Each week, in a contest for the week’s best post, the members of the Watchers Council nominate one of their own posts and a second from outside the Council for consideration by other council members. This week’s nominations run the gamut across liberalism in comic books, liberalism in government, and liberalism in anti-Israel circles. Two submissions – mine and the non-Council submission from the Colossus Of Rhodey – even dealt with liberalism in academia. Which is to say: there’s a theme.
As preparation for poring over the nominations – and they really are quite good – here is a playground of baby pandas. Watch it, read the entries, and then head over to the Mere Rhetoric Facebook page and post which ones you’d choose.
