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.

I agree, so long as he's displayed subtly on a pocket tee, and not garishly emblazoned across the back. :)
I still think you should make his tail fin black in deference to your Surface Warfare roots.
And all this on a Hanes Beefy Pocket T!
Yeah, in a homoerotic sort of way. Get a barracuda or piranha, something with a little testosterone.
It's like this, would you have a beer with anyone wearing a derby?
Yes Hammer, yes, yes, a thousand times YES. I WOULD like to have a beer with someone wearing a derby. And or a monocle. That's the point of it. That's the POINT OF THE WHOLE BLOG!!!! You keep howling at the moon in some vain effort to NASCARize me, but it AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.
I'm surprised you didn't suggest a shark...perhaps a hammerhead.
NASCARize, man that's pretty funny. It's ok I'm just rattling your cage. It's a great logo and damnit if you like it that's all that counts.
But since I've got your attention I have a question on a completely different subject. I Tivo SNL every week just for the opening skit because it's usually political. This week they were ragging Massa. In the opening voice over they said some of his fellow sailors come forward and said he liked to "snorkel", and they specifically said "no joke". Now the wife and I went snorkeling down at John Pennekamp a few years ago but I think this might be something very different. Can you or any of the other Navy guys fill me in? Just the generalities, not too specific.
Thanks.
Sorry--don't have anything on that Hammer.
