Yet more on the Randian Menace

If these Atlases are shrugging, it's not the rest of us "looters" they're trying to shake off, but the responsibility of meaningful opposition. It seems a great relief to many of them, as it has been to us. Having lost the onerous burden of defending the Bush Administration, they have reverted to an entertainment program based on Ayn Rand, science fiction, Guns & Ammo, and wishful thinking. They portray this party mix as the formula that will bring them back to power, but I grow suspicious that they don't mean it, and are content to recreate their native dances for whatever money tourists may throw them.

I too read Ayn Rand when I was a teenager. And then I read Rousseau and Thoreau (even if I spell their names wrong half the time). These twerps seem to have read Atlas Shrugged, finished masturbating, then decided to never read another book as long as they lived because they would never again find such a perfect way to excuse their "I have mine, now go fuck yourself" way of thinking.

The bizarre fetish of pseudointellectual mumbo jumbo that infects the GOP just astonishes me
