So, four years ago, Mitt Romney was running for President, and the recently trounced defeated Senator from Pennsylvania Rick Santorum spent over six minutes talking with Laura Ingraham about his support for Mitt Romney, and his assessment that after watching Romney for nine or ten months, that he was a "...true conservative."
You were right then, Rick, and you're wrong now. In some quarters, shifts of position like that are called "flip-flops". Listen here....
The Romney people need to get away from their constant negative ads and make an ad out of this. But if the story that they fired the debate coach because he got too much of the credit for the Florida win is true, I'm not sure the Romney team is the most brilliant (except for their defense team, of course!)
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.

Santorum = santimonious
