About Me :
I'm a grownup nerd living in the Boston burbs. I write computer programs for a living and plays for fun.
I'm married to a wonderful woman, and we share a nice little house with our daughter and our cats.
I'm a humanist, a technologist, an artist, and an idealist. I believe in reason, freedom, love, equality,
and democracy. (Did I mention that I'm
an idealist? I did, OK.)
I'm also a pragmatist and an empiricist. I reject ideology and dogma, especially when they conflict with
practical facts (i.e., pretty much always). I particularly hate willful ignorance, which tends to go hand-in-hand
with ideology and dogma.

Bush War II Was Being Planned in January 2001
Ex-Treasury Secretary Paul O'Niell has confirmed what many of us had long suspected: that the current war in Iraq was part of Bush's plan from the very beginning of his administration. In other words, September 11th was nothing more to them than a convenient pretext for a war which Bush was already planning. How does this information square with Bush's assertions, back in March, that he hadn't made any decisions about whether to go to war? These are revealed as lies, no less than the assertion that Saddam Hussein has anything to do with the September 11th attacks. In fact, it's getting kind of difficult just to keep track of all the lies coming out of this White House, isn't it? But since none of the lies are about blow jobs, I guess it's just wishful thinking to hope that Bush gets what he deserves.
