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.

You look like a Bay of Pigs veteran.
You made my day, Hammer. That's EXACTLY the look I was going for.
I'm digging the blanket to the right, the HUGE framed photo of you with Bob and Mitt, and what I believe to be the reflection of your UVA diploma in the glass of said HUGE photo. The hat (and the shirt, for that matter)... not so much.
What kind of man cave is it that you only have an embroidered pillow of a lab? Why is the real thing not at your side or at your feet?
He's probably out fetching a decent hat for his master.
PK--you should be a detective. That is indeed my (expertly framed) UVA diploma reflected in the huge photo. As for your taste in hats and shirts, much is desired.
Mudge--Baloo was elsewhere in the cave, snoring if I recall, for the photo.
