A Fabulous Ad Writes Itself

Lookie here. We have Erskine Bowles, former Clinton chief of staff and the 'Bowles' part of the Simpson-Bowles deficit commission. The Democrat half. In an appearance at UNC in the fall of 2011, he sings the praises of Paul Ryan...and describes the President's budget as not serious. Watch this. It provides great contrast between the two tickets, one as serious and earnest and the other as frivolous, and it'd make a fantastic ad. (The Weekly Standard thinks so too.)

PK said...: Holy cow. That's just stinkin' beautiful. Hallelujah.

I do hope no one nixes it because Mr. Bowles' tie is the same color as the wall behind him. Very distracting. :)

Do you happen to know Mr. Bowles' workout routine? That information would be a great help to me in assessing his credibility. Thanks.; August 15, 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! 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.
