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.

Just happy to see Duke at #2.
Look happy..
Number 25, that's about right. Coincidentally that would also be their ACC ranking in "hottest campus babes" assuming we brought in 13 more teams. Of course the UVA girls do somewhat make up for it in availability and enthusiasm.
What? No USNA? At least Notre Dame is up there. So right.
Ok, so I read it. If blue blazers, an emphasis on academics, and inclusion on a list with the five honorable mention schools is "douchy," I'll take it. They might want to fact check their "in ten years" thing though...which brings me to today's funny.
How do you get a Hokie grad off your porch?
Pay him for the pizza and send him on his way.
What do you say to a Hokie in a three piece suit?
Will the Defendant please rise.
Q. What's the difference between the Dean Dome and a porcupine?
A. With the Dean Dome the pricks are on the inside.
