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.

My I suggest a Viking Sealed Burner VGSC range. Also if you buy before Jan 1st. you can get $500 off a Viking stainless top of the MF-ing line bottom drawer fridge. You'll have the baddest kitchen in that little podunk town you live in and maybe even the whole of Eastern Maryland.
Don't be cheap, you gotta look at that kitchen for a while. Get the best and be done with it.
This moderation thing sucks moose penis.
Hammer, what does that taste like?
Hammer--the kitten's buying pretty fair appliances, no doubt about it. Just got our bottom drawer freezer fridge--love it.
Thinking very seriously about an induction cooktop--any thoughts there?
As for the moderation thing, I am not surprised that it bothers you. You've never struck me as a moderate man.
Never even seen a moose BigFred. But while in college a nurse from Rochester NY used to live below me. That was a favorite expression of hers.
I guess certain parts of my anatomy reminded her of a Moose, I don't know.
There's a reason for the saying "Now we're cooking with gas" when things are going particularly well. I agree with a Viking. Plus, unless you have a reliable emergency generator, having a gas stove will enable you to cook (and boil drinking water) when eastern shore weather knocks you off the grid.
"I guess certain parts of my anatomy reminded her of a Moose, I don't know." Yeah, your ass.
Your mama's ass.
