If you think The Fountainhead is bad try Atlas Shrugged. There was a Rand cult that went to the Nathaniel Brandon institute. I went to some meetings. Before you judge me too harshly, I went to meet girls. There were a number of kind of free love right wing types who went. I hardly remember anything about the meetings, too busy hunting.

Paul Ryan is a big Rand fan. As I understand it he requires all of his staff to read her.

The greed is staggering. No health care? Die in the streets. Lost your job and have no money? Live on the streets, who fucking cares. My definition of the Rand types? I’ve got mine, fuck you.
