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.

Yeah, this is priceless. I wonder if he's got any dirt to spill on our new boy.
As Bugs Bunny used to say, "What a maroon!"
Take the time to peruse the MSM and you will notice that they "ACCIDENTALLY" omit his political affiliation.
The lead on the two MSNBC news shows this evening (yes, it's masochistic, I don't know why I do it either) was this story, but after mentioning it everyone fell all over themselves saying 'but of course this doesn't reflect on Pres Elect Obama.'
How long before Obama comes out with his trademark 'this isn't the man I knew?'
Sally - I recall how much grief you gave me over watching MSNBC a couple months ago. I should've guessed then that you were a closet MSNBC junkie. :-)
I heard a funny comment about MSNBC -- it's the only cable station with more letters than viewers.
I sometimes watch the first five minutes of the MSNBC evening shows just to see the headlines of how silly the shows will be. And I try to predict, too-last night I was sure the stories would be 'IL Gov in trouble, Obama's hands clean, it's all George Bush's fault.' Try it yourself sometime-for instance, Bill Ayers will be on Hardball tonight-I'm sure it will be a hard-hitting, probing, honest investigative piece by the future PA Senator.
Senator said to aid niece's prospects - AP 12/10/2008
"And Edward Kennedy may have the chance... to return his brother's desk to his daughter."
Now I know where their constituents get their entitlement mentality from.
At least Blago engaged in some goog ol' fashioned "horse trading".
John S nailed it but I wonder just what Anon means when he refers to Obama as 'our new boy.' Classic.
Obama won't be touched because his advisors were approached by this guy and then they notified the feds. -bet we won't hear a word.
I wonder if Al Franken was approached to take the Senate seat.
