The times (at the Watcher’s Council) they are a’changin’ (slightly)

The Watcher is retiring which I can assure you is a great loss to sensible thought in the blogosphere.  The Council, however, does not wish to retire, and is in the process of reorganizing so that we can continue in his absence.  We hope to continue in more or less the same form as before, but our mentor’s withdrawal means that we have to work out some procedural details.  Pending those decisions, Freedom Fighter, writing at JoshuaPundit, has graciously agreed to host this week’s Watcher’s vote.  Herewith, the submissions which, as always, look very, very good:
