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.

Very, VERY happy SecDef Gates took our useless, parasitic, broke, waffling, unsupportive NATO "allies" to task.
Too many great quotes - here's the article:
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20110610/D9NOU8EG1.html
Cough up some cash, grow a pair, and stand up for yourselves. Seeing them struggle to maintain air ops in a benign environment, Russia has got to be wondering why they don't just roll in. Who would stop them?
The economic news is very bad this week. Apart from Geitner (whom you couldn't run off with a stick), Obama's economic team has been a revolving door of leftist eggheaded academics who have never run any organization that didn't have a $35 billion endowment to fall back on. And even they, as dumb as they are, can see the writing on the wall.
Austan Goolsbee is the latest to thrown in the towel. He proves the axiom that in life, you either get good at something or you give it up. Goolsbee is good at filling young eager minds with leftist bullshit, but at running a modern economy, well not so good.
These reality-challenged half-wits have subsidized, redistributed, bailed out and granted the country into a financial hole it may take years to recover from...and that's if we do everything right. I've said it time and time again, the laws of economics are as immutable as the laws of physics. If you don't understand those laws, stay home, don't vote, because sooner or later some snake oil salesman will talk you out of your knickers.
Obama will be defeated next election and he may even come to realize this. I pray to God he doesn't, because this guy is special. He's like no other President we've ever had. Oh we've had Presidents who wanted to ride their free horse to death, but Obama hates what America is. He may be so arrogant as to do some extremely racical things if he knows he's finished. Reparations immediately come to mind. Not true you say, never happen. We'll see.
What's bothering me? Well, the fact that Kate Beckinsale is not sitting in my lap is a constant niggle.
