Welcome to ...

The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

What Town Matches My Politics?

What Town Matches my Politics?
Clarity + Campaign (Labs), a start-up founded in 2012 providing “fully integrated analytic solutions to Democratic campaigns, progressive non-profits, and socially responsible corporations” posted an interactive webpage where, after answering 7 questions and selecting a state, users can find the ideal town in the selected state in which to live.
Questions range from the obvious inquiry as to which political party users identify with, to a selection of questions on political issues – abortion, religion, climate change, gun control, and how to best address the budget deficit. Answers are multiple choice: Agree, Disagree, or Don’t Include.
On their page, The Lab, Clarity + Campaign confesses their team “likes to have some fun with both useful and not so useful political analytics projects.” The Town Finder is posted there. Also on the page: a partisan name calculator that assigns a percentage as to how Democratic or Republican your first name is. The calculator will also tell you how likely you are to have a gun in your house, attend weekly religious services, and have a college degree.
