Watcher's Council Nominations...March Madness Edition

Welcome to 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. 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 whole Council.Then we vote on the best two posts, with the results appearing on Friday.

Ah, March Madness. Am I referring to roundball, the Republican primaries, the faux 'war on women' or the price of gas? The state of the world in general? Something else? Take your pick.

This week's contest is dedicated to the memory of Rabbi Jonathan Sandler, his two young sons Arye and Gabriel, and Miriam Monsonego ( H"YD).
