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.
Like the alignment of the planets, this blog gets updated as I have the time, inspiration, and inclination to do so.

It's a Bush War After All
The Scene: GEORGE W BUSH, in flight suit and a Mickey Mouse hat, stands up to the podium. Softly at first, but with growing conviction, he SINGS the following song:
(to the tune of "It's a Small World"):
We must bomb Iraq
'Cause of 9-1-1
So no mushroom cloud
Is a smoking gun
Bomb Iraq, 9-1-1
Bomb Iraq, smoking gun
We must bomb Iraq right now!
Chorus:
We must invade right away
My campaign can't wait one day
We must have a war, hooray!
We must bomb Iraq.
Now our boys are there
and I've cut their pay
And there's one or two
Killed most every day
Though he's tried, David Kay
Can't find shit, but we'll pay
For a long, long Bush war stay!
Chorus:
It's a Bush war, after all
I just want those bombs to fall
Your kids are expendable
For my big Bush war!
Now we're in Iraq,
Searched with guns and cash
But we never found
Any weapons stash.
'Bout those nukes, I can't say
I'm surprised, but okay
I can blame the CIA!
Chorus:
I just said what I was told
I just said what I was told
If the war was oversold
Blame the CIA!
Chorus Reprise
It's a Bush War after all,
I'm a hero to you all,
I can finally stand tall,
Got my big Bush War!
It's a Bush War after all,
God has told me "smite them all",
You can vote for me this fall,
You can vote for me!
