Bagheera? Bagheera!? My cat's name is Fergal and yours is named Bagheera? I think that pretty much sums up the differences between Rednecks and Yankees, Jaguars and Chevy pickups, officers and enlisted, lowly land grant NCSU and Thomas Jefferson's grand exalted University of Virginia. Bagheera? Jesus H. Christ.
Yeah Fergal. It's Irish. You know, the wife is Irish. Duh!
And GG, no those aren't women's panties (actually this ground has already been plowed, no pun intended). Those are the Elton John Signature Series eye thingamajiggies, for blocking out the sun for when you're sleeping during the daylight hours. Women's panties they ain't; quite the contrary.
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.

Please say that those are a pair of women's panties covering your forehead...
Fergal? This is a cat name?

I am glad to see that the cat is on top of the covers, as it is not clear whether you are wearing pants or not.
The site has changed a bit since the repeal of don't ask don't tell.
I thoroughly enjoyed this exchange.
