Head on over to Postcards from the Backbench and wish Goldwater's Ghost--frequent contributor to this site and author of one of the best mixes of insight and humor on the web.
How 'bout those of us who head over here FROM Postcards from the Backbench? My day doesn't start without first checking to see what Goldwater's Ghost has to say about the important events that affect us all.
That's not to say that you're not interesting too CW, in a "Country Club Republican crossed with a Beltway Policy Wonk with a bit of Newt Ginrich mixed in" sorta way.
But for your cited "best mixes of insight and humor on the web", you just can't beat Goldwater's Ghost.
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me 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! I've also invited a few friends to join in, so 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. Secondly, 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 ONLY for what I write. I do not take responsibility, nor will I be held responsible, for what my guest bloggers write or for what those who offer comments write. I will occasionally exercise my right to edit/delete both blog posts and comments if they do not meet my view of what clean, civil, concise and relevant mean.

By the way, thank you for the plug this morning. First time visits to the site doubled (admittedly, the original n=4 but who's quibbling?)
