This Should NOT Make Me Laugh

So… *sigh* In about six weeks, two of my three children will be college students. *gulp* It’s just absurd to find oneself become a living example of a cliche, but I’ve realized I have. Picture a woman who begins crying while staring at the pair of animal print flats on her feet. That would be […]

Remembering the Real Ayn Rand

I love Ayn Rand.

via WSJ: Tomorrow's release of the movie version of "Atlas Shrugged" is focusing attention on Ayn Rand's 1957 opus and the free-market ideas it espouses. Book sales for "Atlas" have always been brisk—and all the more so in the past few years, as actual events have mirrored Rand's nightmare vision of economic collapse amid massive government expansion.
