Nice article. I guess we all have our price. Given the opportunity to ask her a few questions, my first would be "Did you ban former President Clinton from using the career center since without his signature this would not be an issue? He signed the law that begat the policy. My next would be why they didn't ban all the Senators that voted for the bill? Seems that in cause and effect, the military is taking it on the chin for something out of their control. If Congress passed a law directing DoD to hand Harvard Law $20 million a year and they wrote a policy saying no Kagan would have been sreaming to throw SECDEF in jail for violating the law.
I just wish the Republicans would go nuke one time. Look what the Dems did with Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. Just once I'd like to see the Republicans raise Holy Hell and break out the flame-throwers. But it ain't gonna happen. They keep their balls in a jar up on the mantle. So we get another Northeastern elitist. Great, they are so under-represented on the court.
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.
