I don't wish to be critical and as you well know I'm a non-confrontational kinda guy, but let's face the facts. A Jag is just a Ford Taurus with a face implant.
What to see a hot ride? Want to see a car that will raise pulses? Want to see a car that screams virility and class? A car men will envy and cause women to lose all sense of decorum and restraint? Here's one!
After all these years the Dino styling has never been surpassed. Of course there have been technological advances but we're talking the total package here. Just as Monroe will always be an iconic male fantasy, the Dino is a one of a kind.
Yeah it looks nice...in a family sedan kinda way. What do you drive to knock around in? Anything? I usually keep an old wagon or van to augment my regular wheels. You know, something you can smoke cigars in, pile bags of mulch, abuse etc., something you ain't gotta worry about. Can't see you driving that on a fishing trip.
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! 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. 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 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.

Oh yeah, great backseat.
