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.

Shaking my head....
Hands-down best commercial: Brett Favre's Hyundai spot.
The Snickers commercial with Betty White and Abe Vigoda is a classic.
I have to go with the McDonald's LeBron James-other guy-Larry Bird one. ("Who was that guy?") Brett Favre was a close second. And the Dodge "I am a man" one was third.
B+
That was a very clever commercial. You do all those things not for a car, but for a home cooked meal and sex. Again, a very clever substitution.
This one wasn't on any superbowl ads but it is still one of my favorites:

I can't believe you passed over Betty White! That rugged individualist! That spunky entrepreneur! You hate capitalism!
