The Council has spoken — March 26 edition
I meant to post yesterday the Watcher’s Council submissions, so that you could see what we were voting on last night, but the day just slipped away from me. I can, however, let you know today how the vote turned out. I’m quite flattered that my fellow Council members thought that my post about Tom Hanks’ historical ignorance was good enough to take first place. As you can see from the other winners, placers and show-ers, I was running against very, very high quality material:
