On The Sending Of Christmas Cards Featuring A Cow
I mean honestly, what the hell? They were all out of Thomas Kinkaid cards?

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.

Noble beasts!
And while GG has taken a moment to bring light upon my card choice, I will tell you that this card would never make the cut. I don't use Cow Photos (unless cow parents are included).
Living in banjo country as I do, we have cows and horses all around. And many of the farmers have one or two Llamas mixed in with the herd. Any thoughts on that? What's the purpose? And there seems to be a purpose because just about every farmer has the odd longnecked ruminant hanging around and farmers ain't big on pets that serve no purpose.
I don't know, just asking. Besides, Bolivians are mad into Llama Christmas cards (there's your tie-in).
Ah... filet mignon and cheese. Love 'em.
No thoughts on the Llamas uh? I should have known better than to ask. You guys are obviously up to speed on "Thomas Kinkaid" cards and Vacheron Constantin Quai de l’Ile timepieces but are painfully unaware of the rudiments of ruminants and animal husbandry.
Nevermind, go back to your double latte cappuccino.
