Maryland, especially that which does NOT include the I-95 corridor, has some beautiful geography. You have chosen to live in what I believe to be one of the best parts of that state. I graduated from HS and College (to the degree that USNA is "college") in the PDRM, which constituted a sum total of 5.5 years as a Maryland tax servant. I made the decision that the very second I could declare my legal residence elsewhere, I would. I also vowed that I would never again give one more penny of my income to an Annapolis that was as corrupt, inept and liberal (apologies for being redundant) as that which I had witnessed during that brief and early time in my adulthood. I have kept that promise. Notwithstanding it's natural beauty, I will not ever live in a state with such politics. And I'm certain they'd have it no other way.
I know Maryland is hardcore Dem country but is it still as corrupt as it once was? It had (and perhaps still has) a reputation for corruption on a par with Illinois and Louisiana. A Republican will have a tough row to hoe in that state.
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.

"The Whig Man". Oh dear. On the positive side, a weak field for someone contemplating a future run...

CW, the PDRM's GOP isn't much different than the the GOP in the state which you were born - PDRNJ.
Then why don't you get involved?
Patience, Sally. Patience.
Could CW become a Maryland carpet bagger?
