Socialism...making idiots useful since 1917......

Exactlly! I don't know of anyone who takes Rand's work hook, line, and sinker; however, it's his dissmive response that is revealing.  

What? I just stepped in manure! How the..??!!

Ryan had two fights on his hands.  Thankfully, he was smart enough to let the one ogre go and step on his crank all night.

"....an insane conversation between an elderly drunk and his polite nephew."

Thankfully, they're not related. If it were true it would be as bad as Luke finding out who his real father was.

Perhaps they have a pop-up version. He can manage that.

P.S. -  President Empty Chair must endure a lot of sleepless nights having you as his sidekick. Sucks to be him.

Lucy - Charlie Brown - Football. Enough said.

Yep! It's one of the incredible things that happened before the lunar landing.  He was in good company --  another F9F Panther Pilot by the name of  Ted Williams also served during the Korean War and flew 39 combat missions.   

Sadly, I sign of the times along with trampy styles, baggy clothes, hats backwards, etc..  And then they wonder why the rest of society does not take them seriously.

For me it was a gradual evolution. Raised in a center-right Democrat family who voted for the best person instead of the party line. I remember lying to a friend that I voted for Mondale when in fact I voted for Reagan. I appreciated his hard stance against Communism, but worried (and misunderstood) about the economics. Desert Shield/Desert-Storm exposed me to the hypocracy of the Left. It turns out they were indeed against the war & the troops. The sycophantic actions to the Wellstone Memorial combined with the disconnect and radical reaction to G.W. Bush election and 9/11 made me realize this was no longer the party of JFK.  Nowadays we see the total hypocrisy of the Left to GWOT, Fannie & Freddie, Bank Bailouts and the total hatred of the private sector and anyone who supports it. Their hatred towards conservative gays, women, minorities -- we all for diversity as long as it's OWN diversity. Never going back and can't because it no longer exists. At least those of us who have experienced the Left first hand can challenge those who never challenged themselves.

I recall from one of his books that he referred to working at a private firm as being behind enemy territory.  Yet, I wonder if anyone consider him as the enemy? His comments aren't new. They just merely reinforce a longstanding attitude.

Roberto - You beat me to it...! Downfall is by far the best and most balanced account of that event.

My late father served in W.W. II, and my wife (also a service member - U.S. Army Nurse Corps), once asked him if he thought it was right to drop the bomb. My father was one of the most gentle and kind individuals on the planet. He was also a man of few words. Without hesitation, he replied "Hell yes !! We were all tired of the war, the death and the killing. We all just wanted to get back home."   The twisted logic of the left argues that bombing for peace is like screwing for virginity. Only the left can come up with such profane and utter nonsense. If anyone with a modicum of sense ever took the time to read "Downfall," they might possible gain some insight and context.

"Catcher in the Rye" published in 1951 comes to mind... but as a young kid growing up, 1968 always was for me the most chaotic  year. A lot of craziness, mayhem, and revolution all balled up into one.

....So when he got down to the shore, did the waters part or did he just walk upon it..?

Aside from their inability to spell, they overlook the Cat Woman's comment to the Bruce Wayne about corporate greed and the 99%. I think they'll have to be out in the lobby getting popcorn to miss that message...
