The Rand Illusion

Check out the link to Stephen Colbert giving us "The Word". The clip starts with a commercial, sorry, and is about 5 minutes long.  i have never read the book that is the bible of the far right, Ayn Rand's, Atlas Shrugged.

i never felt the need.  i had always heard about it and thought it was a book that would be a waste of time for me... and i think i made the right decision.  Life is too short.

If you want to understand where the right is coming from, or who Ayn Rand is or what Atlas Shrugged is about, then watch the clip.  

i wish i had understood this earlier.  A whole cult like group grew out of Ayn Rand's livingroom, including Alan Greenspan.  Ronald Reagan was also a devotee.  

Sorry, Chickies and Roos.  i don't want to be a downer.  Check out the clip and laugh and learn.
