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.

The air looks heavy with the smoke from many doses of cannabis sativa -- after all it is Austin.
Remember when the Longhorns were all anybody cared about in Austin?
Austin became californicated with immigrants from San Francisco. And they're not going to leave anytime soon.
As luck would have it, I was on the telephone with a friend who lives on the fringe of Austin and asked him to vet my suspicion of californication. He said that the Austin hippie migration found its origin in the infamous San Francisco-based, Californian Source Family commune, led by an interesting character who went by the name of Father Yod. Yod died in a hang-gliding accident in '77, in Hawaii, though his followers are waiting for his reincarnation (in Austin, naturally).
Good pic! Just got a 6s so hope to do better than my old 5. Cheers!
