They always go on vacations where rich white folks hang out: Hawaii, Martha's Vineyard, Costa Del Sol, and now Aspen. I thought they were hip and cool? When are they gonna go to Jamaica with Puff Daddy or maybe catch a jazz festival and smoke a little gange? What black person wants to hang out with a bunch of crackers on a mountain freezing your ass off? You'd never catch Al Sharpton on a ski slope.
C'mon CW,that's a tad unfair and you know it. A 5.3 annual vacation rate seems reasonable to me for someone with so much catching up to do. I mean, given her recently-acquired sense of pride in her country, she's got 40-something years of not even realizing that, "Hey! This USA has some pretty cool places to hang out!"
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.
