Watcher's Council Nominations - Death And Taxes Edition

Ah....April is the cruelest month, they say. But if it is, nothing's surer except that you'll read about all of it right here like you will nowhere else.

Welcome to the inner sanctum of the Watcher's Council, a blogging group consisting of some of the most incisive blogs in the 'sphere, and the longest running group of its kind in existence anywhere. Every week, the members nominate two posts each, one written by themselves and one written by someone from outside the group for consideration by the entire Council.Then we vote on the best two, with the results appearing on Friday in this very space.

This week's contest is fondly dedicated to The Dark Lord...long may he continue to punish our enemies.

Council News:
This week, Crime Victims Media Report , Right Truth and The Mental Recession took advantage of my generous offer of link whorage and earned honorable mention status with some killer pieces.

You can, too! Want to see your work appear on the Watcher’s Council homepage in our weekly contest listing? Didn’t get nominated by a Council member? No worries.

Simply head over to Joshuapundit and post the title a link to the piece you want considered along with an e-mail address ( which won't be published) in the comments section no later than Monday 6PM PST in order to be considered for our honorable mention category. and then return the favor by creating a post on your own site linking to the Watcher’s Council contest for the week.

It's a great way of exposing your best work to Watcher’s Council readers and Council members, while grabbing the increased traffic and notoriety. And how good is that, eh?

So, let's see what we have this week....
