At 8:35 this morning, Chris Wallace on Fox News referred to Hawaii as "Obama's birth state".
Maybe the liberals are right after all and Fox News is full of cr@p,
We all have issues in our marriage and I would like to share one and solicit comments/suggestions if I may. Here goes, my wife complains about me washing dishes. That's correct friends and neighbors, COMPLAINS that I wash dishes too frequently.
Now I'm not the cleanest guy in the world and some may say I'm slovenly. In my college days I actually left a sink full of dirty dishes for 9 months (the water eventually evaporated); it became a running gag (in every sense of the word). I knew women who wouldn't even go into my apartment (actually lots, for a variety of reasons, but that's another story) so my typically male, filthy bastard credentials are legitimate and well documented.
But in my old age I have repented and I actually do things like raise the toilet seat (sometimes I'm too drunk to hit what I'm aiming at but what the hey). But back to my point, what woman could possible have a problem with a man cleaning? How many women, while having lunch with their little female buddies, in a fancy bistro, drinking mimosas (or some such shit) all on the old man's dime, complain "You know Judy, my Clarence just won't stop cleaning, it drives me crazy!"? Let me take a wild guess: HOW ABOUT FRIGGIN' NONE!! But hell no, not Sgt. Major! According to her, dishwashers are for washing dishes.
And what is particularly galling is the woman didn't know what a dishwasher was until I showed her. I can well remember when she first came to this country from that little podunk nation which shall remain unidentified (hint: it's full of peasants and drunks) and first saw a dishwasher. "What's that?" she said. "That's a dishwasher" I replied. "For what, washing dishes?" "Right, just put the dishes in here, turn the dial and in a couple of hours they're clean." "Begorah and Bejesus" she said. "Just like a lazy useless American to invent something to wash their dishes. See why the World hates you people?"
But that attitude has withered and died. Sgt. Major now embraces technology with the fervency of a government bureaucrat watching porn eight hours a day. She's like a Kung Bushman with something shiny. She's a one woman Cargo Cult worshiping at the alter of Apple. If she could put a micro-processor in a spoon to increase it's functionality, she would. I have created a A5, 4G, 3D HDTV monster, what can I do?
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.
