Just can't go on without Big Fred.
Well, that and ten thousand other things to take care of today that will keep me from being prepared.
Next week.

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.

Great. So now that our plans for tonight have been turned upside down, I guess you'll just waltz off and leave your fanbase to deal with the wreckage.
You are at risk of becoming a diva.
Worked until 7, then caught Lyle Lovett and John Hyatt at the Birchmere, stageside like. Their shtik was a little slow to start but they warmed up to each other at the end.
In lieu of my insightful, incisive and comme il faut commentary I offer this essay by Mark Steyn. It's very good.
