New Job Impacting the Blog Time
Sorry folks; going back to work is putting a little crimp in the blog. Will try to keep up. Thanks for your time and attention.

The Conservative Wahoo
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

Just think of it as a little quality time at sea with the squadron "assist team" on board. It's never fun, but it's gotta be done.
Yeah, just last night I was thinking how your new job and family vacations were placing demands on your blog. You better re-think this new job.
The new job is just a lame excuse. He's too scared to admit to us that "kitten" has laid down the law on his increasingly domesticated hind parts.
Ge gentle boys, be gentle.
I remember how other stateroom endeavors used to impose on CW's work on the Joint Staff.
