The Council has spoken — 4/9/10 edition

Watcher’s Council results are in and, as is always the case when this happens, I’m tremendously flattered that my fellow council members thought well enough of my post to put me in first place.  If praise from Caesar is praise indeed, what is praise from many Caesars?  After all, I was overwhelmed by their submissions.
