The Reverends Jesse Jackson and (soon to be on the scene) Al Sharpton have done more to retard race relations and feather their own nests in the process than anyone. My skin crawls at the mention of either opportunist's name.
And speaking of race, what the hell is that idiot Haley Barbour doing down in Mississippi?
Brothers and sisters, today we gather on the steps of the Wisconsin statehouse, just like in Selma, and Montgomery and Birmingham. We speak with one voice demanding justice. We marched here to stand with our overpaid underworked NEA members. We will not be denied. When a child can't read, when a child be hungry, when a child needs a laptop and internet we the wealthy among us must provide. Every child is OUR child. Every child has to have stuff. Every God's child under the Sun is somebody!
We want the politics of hope, not nope. We want wage increases not welfare decreases. We want union dues not singing the blues.
Now stand together all y'all. Say it out loud so Bull Connor up in the Governor's office can hear us "Gimme the Damn Money!" "Gimme the Money!" "Gimme the Money!"
COMING SOON TO A TOWN NEAR YOU. When Moochers Run Out of Benefits - Looting & Riots wait till money runs out for food stamps ... wait till money runs out for unemplyment benefits ... Wait till money runs out for Sec 8 housing.
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.

I do miss his speeches.

He and Rev. Al are going to have a hard time finding hair care products in Madison.
