Political, AND correct

Rogers at Kung Fu Monkey says:

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

ROFLMAOPMP&SCT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Further comment seems superfluous.

Ayn Rand was a dangerous lunatic.

Her fairytales seem to underlie the thinking of the people behind the Global Economic Crisis.

Oh, and synchronicity, I just came across this:

Wow....

I'll take the orcs any day. Ayn Rand's philosophy is just annoying beyond words.

Badtux is pretty cool, isn't he?

I'm glad to see you blogging again. I've been a bit desultory in recent weeks - too sick to say much at all - but am hoping to be more prolific this spring.

Take care, Sunflower!
