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.

Decade doesn't start 'til next January 1. You know that.
Sorry, don't buy that line. The OO's start in OO, the Tens start in ten, the 20's start in 20.
CW -- Not much behind the "FPOD."
I guess you'll be looking for a Pulitzer, given the recent Nobel precedent?
Sorry Dan and CW the Pulizer and the Nobel are mine because I once thought about writing a book that woould have fostered world peace.
And, as they say, "It is the thought that counts."
Did the first decade start as year "0"?
First the Julian, then the Gregorian, now the Wahoolian calendar. Yet another contribution to western civilization by CW. Thanks man.
