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.

I see this mentioned every once in awhile over at the NRO. I'm seriously tempted, but will pass this time. It sounds more like a mancation for political nerds rather than Mrs. Goldwater's idea of a romantic getaway. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I guess the attraction for me is 1) the politics, obviously, but 2) the ports....I've been to some of these places GG, and they are RIDICULOUSLY romantic. Mrs. GG can enjoy herself while you're we're at sea listening to great politics, and you can go off and visit these great ports when the ship docks. i think it's the best of both worlds....
I'd be interested in reading the force protection plan. What between pirates, terrorists and democrats, the queue to attack this ship would span the entire Med.
I'd hold off planning this for now. You might be of the 500 million Americans to lose their job next month.
