This week's winning essay,Bookworm Room's Self-reliance -- the all-American virtue Is her fascinating look at an old fashioned, long ingrained American virtue and tradition...and the attempts to undermine it.

The custom each week is to entice you with a slice of the winning article. This week, In spite of my best efforts I keep getting a database error message when attempting to access Bookworm's site. Such things are normally temporary, so the upside is that you will have no reason not to go to the link and read her entire essay! Highly recommended.

In our non-Council category, the winner was Laura Ingraham with a superb piece, –The Suicide of the GOP Establishment submitted by The Razor. The GOP is indeed splitting apart, and Ms. Ingraham puts the blame exactly where it belongs. A must read.
