Some great stuff this week. First, The Diplomad gives us "Ratman of the Far Abroad," a thought-provoking metaphor on the U.S. position in the world. Then, Sean Gleeson has a strong runner-up in "Ten More Reasons to Hate Rumsfeld," a witty commentary on Pengate.

The council winner was Dr. Sanity, who takes on criticisms of the pharmaceutical industry in “Witchhunt.”

Be sure to drop in and check out all the top entries, since it was a strong group this time.
