You know, Hugh Hefner (a total dirtbag but his magazine had some nice things) said one of the reasons he was successful was that women always controlled the indoors, the outdoors were always the man's domain be it cooking, yard work, whatever. His magazine concentrated on all the fun a guy could have inside the house (I'm not explaining this well). So I guess a man cave is our (guy's) attempt to control just a wee bit of the inside real estate.
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! 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.

What a load of BS.
Can having a mancave 'strenghten' spelling skills?
Women always wonder why men spend so much time on the toilet.
It's the one time and place you leave us alone.

Very good, Sally.
I'd forgotten how much this subject gets Sally's goat. We should treat it more often.
