It’s a stellar line-up this week at the Watcher’s Council.  It’s also a different line-up.  Owing to work commitments, both The Mellow Jihadi and The Political Commentator had to withdraw from the Council.  In their place, we welcome back The Independent Sentinel and we welcome for the first time Ask

As I often say (and I do like to quote myself), hard times make for good blogging.  The winners of last week’s Watcher’s Council vote prove that I’m right: Council Winners *First place with 4 votes!–Joshuapundit–Senate Intel Committee: Benghazi Was Preventable,Al Qaeda Was Involved, And The White House Knew It

Today, I’ll have the pleasure of reading the following Watcher’s Council nominations.  Also, if you’re looking for movies to watch this weekend, the Watcher’s Council forum asked Council members (and a very special guest who truly knows movies) to weigh in on their favorite movies.  I’m in there, but my
