GG is 43!
Hey everyone, wish Goldwater's Ghost a Happy Birthday. Best little brother a guy could have (unless of course, you're one of my older brothers).

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.

Happy birthday Big Fella!
43, that's Richard Petty's old number.
It'll be a good year for you.
Happy birthday.
Gracias.
I do have four Best Little Brothers! Happy Birthday Au+H2O’s Ghost!
And the same goes from Dear ol' Dad. You're a great son, husband, father and golf partner from the old days.
GG - I always like to wait a day to be able to say "Happy Belated Birthday" but since I see you pressed "2" to say "thanks" I guess I should say "feliz cumpleaños atrasado." In any case, Happy Belated Birthday to my favorite CW contributor. (Although I have to say Sally is really giving you a run for the money!)
Yep. Yep yep yep. I remember when I turned 43...or do I?
(This is my second try)
Happy Birthday Patrick Andrew, I am proud to be your father. I loved being part of your growing up and having you for a golfing buddy for a few times over the years. You are a great son, husband and father. Mom and Dad love you.
