Again, the correct headline should read "Hard Questions Bound and Gagged Prior to President's Press Conference", unless of course your interpretation of "hard questions" is "Mr President, how hard is it waking up every morning knowing that you are going to have to deal with an incalcitrant Republican House blocking every common sense policy you try to enact?" or "Mr. President, have you picked out an anniversary gift for Michelle yet?" or "Mr. President, would you mind if I came up and gave you a big ol hug?" I'd love to see someone in the press corps (other than those radical outliers, or outliars as the left would call them, Fox News) ask him a real question a la "Mr President, you avoided answering questions about Benghazi the answers to which were surely known, prior to the election. Now that you are less vulnerable, can you now share with the American public what you knew, when you knew it and why you paraded your US Ambassador to the UN out with a clearly incorrect message after most Americans already knew it was incorrect? Keep in mind, you promised the former head of the KGB that you would be able to deal with him once the election was over...could you also not offer the same courtesy to your fellow citizens?" I would love to see the stammering episode that would certainly follow: "Uh, well, uh, as I have stated many times before, the Republican Congress has, uh, despite my many attempts to compromise, uh, the Tea Party, uh, Bush, as you know I inherited a problem the likes of which, uh, arrgghhhhhohhhhh! [booming] Do not arouse the wrath of the great and powerful O. I said come back tomorrow. I am the great and powerful O! Pay no attention to the man behind the teleprompter. Hope! Change! Forward! uh, uh, uh."
Yeah, that question's probably not going to get asked.
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.
