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.

Did you read the article at all?
Nope, and have no intention of doing so.
Naturally.
I really shouldn't, but I'll ask anyway. What was that 'naturally' intended to convey to me?
I'm not going to read it because I'm too dumb.
Well I read the God damned thing and I don't recall ever reading a more disingenuous load of bullshit in me life. Who does Sullivan think he's talking to, total fools? You'd have to be mainlining the Kool-Aid to believe a word of it. Here's just a sample...
"A caveat: I write this as an unabashed supporter of Obama from early 2007 on. I did so not as a liberal, but as a conservative-minded independent ..."
What's really dumb about this is the headline. Sullivan is being Sullivan--and we can ask little else. But the point of the article--that both left and right are getting the President wrong--is getting lost in the translation, as only our side believes it applies to us. That said, what it also indicates is that Barack Obama and Andrew Sullivan are the only ones smart enough to "get it", which is ridiculous.
