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.

AARP: Hates the Troops, Loves the Queers
This ad was created by a group called USA Next, giving the Bush White House absolutely airtight deniability that they have anything to do it. The campaign is being mounted to discredit AARP for its traitorous opposition to the Dear Leader's Social Security phase-out plan, and it's very well-funded. Obviously, this is a completely independent group of civic-minded individuals... the same individuals who gave us the spectacle of the Swift Boat Liars for Bush. Which also, by pure coincidence, happened to benefit Bush politically.
Honestly, I wasn't buying USA Next's line. But then I went to the AARP's web site, to get their side of the story, and what do you know? The AARP does hate our troops! I found article after article after article detailing the AARP's treasonous and virulent hatred of the American military.
I also found ... well, I didn't find anything at all on their site about gay marriage. (Obviously, they're hiding their real agenda from us real Americans!)
Yes, it's clear, isn't it? The AARP isn't an organization "dedicated to enhancing quality of life for all as we age"; it's an organization dedicated to the destruction of the US military and the advancement of the radical homosexual agenda!!
I mean, WOW! Who knew?! And to think, my parents are members! I'd better tell them right now!
... oh, hey. Can somebody tell me what the fuck this all has to do with Social Security?
