Weasel watching/Watcher's Council results

The Watcher's Council voted this past week as it does every week on the best posts by Council members and the best posts elsewhere in the blogosphere. But first, if your'e a weasel watcher yourself, Scott Adams is soliciting nominations for the Dilbert Weasel Awards 2006 in eight categories. Here are my nominees.

1. Weaseliest Pundit/Reporter - Nancy Grace

3. Weaseliest Company - Northwest Airlines
4. Weaseliest Politician - Dick Armitage
5. Weaseliest Celebrity - Tom Cruise
6. Weaseliest Sports Person - Zinedine Zidane
7. Weaseliest Organization - CAIR
8. Weaseliest Country - Cuba and Cuba's brother Raul Cuba

My September 11 post Your Chance of Dying in a Terrorist Attack, about the fallacy that you should care about terrorism in proportion to your personal chance of being killed, won the Council vote last week. Soccer Dad's Three Strands Not Easily Broken and ShrinkWrapped's 9/11 Ambiguities tied for second.

Villainous Company's And At Night, I Dream Of You... won best non-Council post, with four posts tying for second. See the full list of nominees here, and full voting results here.
