Well folks, it's that time of the week again. That 13 year affair got you down? A little worried those photos of you and Nancy Pelosi are gonna keep showing up? Well--unburden!
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.

I'm getting really concerned about Newt's rise. Even if he were to win the general, which I don't believe he can, he has the potential to cause long-term damage to the Republican Party, and it'll be back to the wilderness.
Newt's a formidable guy, no doubt. This is going to be a long, hard slog.
What woman would want to have an affair with that? Just goes to show, your money or your balls. With Newt it has to be the money.
Where is the NYT and their outrage?

An Afghan woman, raped by a relative, sentenced to 12 years for "adultery" (having sex out of wedlock), was pardoned by Karzai after heavy pressure from rights organizations - on the condition that she marry her rapist.
Despite the holiday tunes on Pandora, I don't feel a lot of goodwille toward some men who adhere to the religion of peace.
Sally--you were right about Mitt and Bret Baier...just watched it. Not great. he's going to need to be better at explaining himself....
Oh, I didn't think the interview itself was that bad. I think Mitt & team whining about the 'unfair' questions the next day was bad.
Mitt has demonstrated an inability to stand up to questions not of his liking. When compared to Newt's statesmanlike responses to similar types of questions he appears very weak.
Why did the CW post a pic of himself in shorts and sunglasses?
