A Proud Member of the Reality-Based Community
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.

Republican Dating Sites
Are you a sensitive Republican looking for that special someone? The bar scene just doesn't cut it; how many times have you wasted a ton of money and a lot of your valuable time meeting someone new, only to have her disagree with you on some political point? If she watches anything but Fox, you've just blown the whole evening. Internet dating services are a great way to reduce the hassle, but as we all know, it's just too easy to end up on a date with a woman who still believes that everyone has a right to have their vote counted, or that her body belongs to her.
If it's all too much to bear, knowing that there are women out there who can disagree with your beliefs, and defend themselves with facts and reason, implicitly pointing out your shameful inability to do anything better than parrot the last thing you heard on talk radio, then there is help for you. Now there are dating sites for people like you, where only people who have been screened for the correct political beliefs will be allowed to register. It's just like a Bush/Cheney campaign event! And just like the President and Vice President, you won't ever have to worry about answering any inconvenient questions or be asked to back up your assertions with actual facts.
Single Republicans
Conservative Match
Republican Singles
The sites themselves are covered with ("liberally festooned with," you might say) eagles and flags and the Statue of Liberty, to remind you that you are a Real American, which is why you seek to avoid meeting people who deviate even slightly from your rigid and narrow-minded ideology.
Rush Limbaugh himself has endorsed these sites: "despite the liberal lads you've been dating, there is hope out there," says Rush, who has just been divorced by his third wife, whom he met online! How can you argue with success like that? (It wasn't his fault, of course, it's all because of contraception.)
So go on over and register right now!
(White, Christian, Registered Republicans only, please, straight or deeply closeted. Promise Keepers and women lacking self-esteem welcome. All females must be of good breeding stock, with shots and certificates up-to-date. Already married? Not a problem, as long as you are male and a major Republican donor or elected official!)
Republican dating sites. Where even Ann Coulter can get a date!
