You should be probably get a more swarthy person to give the commentary. I see you as a behind the scenes kind of guy. Maybe camera work for dramatic zooms? Great post. I think a key to the discussion is this number of "uninsured." Until we can come closer to agreement on the number that needs to be dealt with, there's little chance for compromise.
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! 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. 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 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.

Excellent commentary! You could seek a better background and remove the cap indoors. You were brought up better than that.
Lay off the man. He's wearing a Virginia cap and he's the Conservative WAHOO.
I love the pop up comments! But shut your cupboard door next time. For some reason I found myself watching it more than you.
Are we liveblogging the press conference tomorrow night?
Sorry--I didn't buy the painting, it was a gift from two dear friends in Buffalo, WY.
Sally---I'll be driving out to the farm during the presser, but I'll make sure and provide space here for those who wish to liveblog...
Take your Dad's advice.
Though your commentary was right on point, people tend to give less credence to speakers in a ball cap.
And try moving back just a tad from the camera.
Oh dear, and I didn't shave either...
Looked like you were wearing eye liner.
