Iowahawk Brilliance
I don't seem to visit Iowahawk as much as I used to, but you should today. This man is a comic genius.

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.

Brilliant piece. The man has talent.
The only thing that would make this better is to watch the NY Times commune reading it. They'd probably weep in their caramel macchiato skim decaf lattes and splash same onto their NYT-issued desk copies of "The Communist Manifesto", "The Qur'an" and (autographed) "The Audacity of Hope."
In the not too interesting factoid department, Arthur O. "Punch" Sulzberger, Jr., the Upper East Side little ass-wipe that runs the Times now used to work for the N&O in Raleigh. The Daniels family have Democratic ties that go back generations (Josephus Daniels was Wilson's Sec. of the Navy). So they sent him here for a couple of years to get his feet wet. I'm sure he hated every minute of it.
