CW Video #2--Oppose the Stimulus Bill
You'll find the new video here. Tried to take some of the guidance from the first one to heart.

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.

Much, much better - and you even shaved.
Martin Feldstein, Harvard Econ professor, and president emeritus of NBER, has called for the stimulus bill to "be thoroughly revised." He devotes two full paragraphs to how defense outlays should be included, citing equipment repairs, supplies, procurement, and military base infrastructure improvement.
If we have this kind of talk out of our Harvard professors, one should hope that President Obama is starting to get the message.
Agreed. Much better, though the yellowing at the end was of concern. Also, of note, your vids are not iPhone compatible. Not requesting any action, just informing.
First coat and tie, next t-shirt. Please assure your readers/followers that this is not a trend ending with you exploring your naturist fantasies.
Oh yeah, good job. But then I also liked the first one.
I liked this one too. Still need a puppy to run through the room occasionally, but I think sitting in front of the books is a homey touch.
By the way, I see you have Liberal Fascism on your shelf-LOVED that book. For some more lighthearted literary fare, Ann Coulter's book is actually pretty good too, regardless of what you think of her.
But to your subject matter-right on! Between last week's vote as you wrote about last week, and the election of Michael Steele, I think things are looking up for the GOP.
