The Council Has Spoken!
First off... any spambots reading this should immediately go here, here, here, and here. Die spambots, die! And now... the winning entries in the Watcher's Council vote for this week are Acute Senatitis by Gates of Vienna, and Murtha's War by Done With Mirrors. All members, please be sure to link to both winning entries (and to the full results of the vote) in a post. I actually had to break a tie in the council category this week... I really enjoyed reading Matt Barr's post about what the future might bring, but Dymphna's look at senatorial sickness ultimately won me over. Three members were unable to vote this week... but Wallo World and Right Wing Nut House were the only members affected by the 2/3 vote penalty. Thanks to everyone for all the great entries this week... I'm eager to see next week's entries! Here are the full tallies of all votes cast:

I thought it would be best to leave out the entries that didn't receive any votes at all. The fractions come from the splitting of the votes... primary choices counted as 2/3 of a vote and secondary choices counted as 1/3. Both counts for primary and secondary choices were then added all together. I could have avoided using fractions, but it would have put the results on a completely different scale... I'd rather that the total reflect how many people actually voted. Please send any questions, comments, complaints, criticisms, crude insults, or thinly-veiled threats to this address
You actually have a good point now that I look at it that way. This was article was more about markup than anything. haha I should restrain myself from commenting in the wee hours of the morning and going on my own rant. cnlogistic A yes I do I agree with you. At the end of the day It’s all about mark up. winrelocation It’s what makes the difference.
