Anonymous said...: You mean the "Jared Loughlin Killed Six people and All I Got Was This T-shirt" T-shirts?

Sick joke, yes. But what is sicker is that enough people in power at the University of Arizona thought a commemorative t-shirt was a good idea and the assclowns in the White House approved it.; January 14, 2011
"The Hammer" said...: I'm a little concerned about John Boehner. The guy cries more than a Barbara Walters Special. Look, I understand he's a working class guy who has achieved a great position and I also understand there are things worth crying about. But one must learn to control one's emotions.
Crying in public rarely comes off well for a politician. I don't remember Eisenhower crying. LBJ never shed a tear. Reagan never whined and slobbered and neither did Clinton (and he was married to a lezbo). Crying implies weakness and that's not something you want in a leader.
So, Mr. Speaker, get a grip brother. There's important work to be done and we don't need some emotional basket-case running the show.; January 14, 2011

Goldwater's Ghost said...: A new CBS poll reports that 3 out of 4 respondents queried felt that violence against the government is never justified.

Never justified?

Talk amongst yourselves.; January 14, 2011
"The Hammer" said...: I thought I'd share this:

CALIFORNIA: The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out, bites the Governor and attacks his dog.

1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie “Bambi” and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is natural.

2. He calls animal control. Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it.

3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $200 for testing it for diseases.

4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.

5. The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is free of dangerous animals.

6. The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds to implement a “coyote awareness” program for residents of the area.

7. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.

8. The Governor’s security agent is fired for not stopping the attack somehow and for letting the Governor attempt to intervene.

9. Additional cost to State of California: $75,000 to hire and train a new security agent with additional special training re: the nature of coyotes.

10. PETA protests the coyote’s relocation and files suit against the State.

TEXAS: The Governor of Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A Coyote jumps out, bites the Governor’s leather boot, and attacks his dog.

1. The Governor shoots the coyote with his State-issued pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow
point cartridge.

2. The buzzards eat the dead coyote.; January 14, 2011

I guess the fourth person queried was Bill Ayers.; January 15, 2011

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.
