Big Fat Friday Free For All

Ok folks--anything bothering you today? Tired of having your Boston speeches interrupted by Romney fans? Pissed at having to have your predecessor over for a visit, and actually having to be nice to him? Get the bad air out!

This guy wanted to blog about it, and the North Carolina Board of Dietetics/Nutrition tried to censor his blog, saying it was illegal for anyone without a government-issued dietician’s license to offer diet advice.

Really? Better ban sales of Cosmo, Men's Health, Shape, and just about every magazine out there.

I'm particularly sympathetic because what worked for this guy - high fat, low carb - worked for me, and also because I think that the professional dieticians of the world are the CAUSE of much of the obesity epidemic.

Returned home to a B&N in a more conservative town and was told that it was also out of stock due to demand. Way to go Ed Klein!; June 01, 2012

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! 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. 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 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.
