Sorry folks--I've been visiting my Mom and Dad in our ancestral homeland in North Carolina, and so haven't had the time to keep up with things here. Will come back with vigor tonight or tomorrow morning.

Isn't your ancestral homeland New Jersey?
And sorry, I would contribute something, but this health care passage just has me too depressed. I keep hoping something dramatic will happen to harpoon it, but it won't. REALLY looking forward to the 'he's such a great leader after all' stories.
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.

Yes it is. Sort of an inside the family joke.
REALLY looking forward to hearing how the carnage that happens to America after this passage will be "Bush's fault."

I am apologizing in advance for stealing your thought and posting it on my Facebook page this morning.
