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.

Leave off 'blogger.' It's implied by the name of the blog at the bottom, and conjures up an image of some societal rejectee in their mom's basement. Is this your way of telling us to be on our best behavior since readership is about to go through the roof?
Forgive me I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. What is that, cards you're gonna handout at the convention?
I guess I don't rate an answer.
They're cards he's gonna stick in the hatband of his pork pie during the convention so he can look the part of conventioneer. Then, he can dash off (recall he's leaving early) to the set of the Price Is Right where, without change of wardrobe, he can look the part of contestant. And I thought the pork pie had no standing in modern society.
Not until reading this post had i considered the porkpie for inclusion on the trip. Now, it is essential. Hammer, they are indeed cards i will use to drum up readership.
