Even taking into account Rand's mannishness, that is a terrible picture of her.

I prefer the Nina Hartley version.

Live chat with the dead? Watch out for your brains there Brian.

Brian Doherty to Live Chat on Her

Is that what the kids are calling necrophilia these days?

You misread, Warren. He's not chatting
with her, he's chatting on her. IOW, he has exhumed the corpse and will conduct the chat while perched atop what's left of her body.

Quit being coy and turn this into a zombie thread already!

I'll go out on a limb and predict that it won't be "fans" who show up at this hatefest.
Brian, don't you think Nick would make a more appropriate host?

I was wrong. The comments were moderated and the discussion was civil. Nice job, Brian.

"Is 2009 the Year of Ayn Rand?"

Based on what I've been seeing, apparently not.

Ayn Rand sucks. She turns people off of individualism.

Why not celebrate the legacy of Milton Friedman instead? Now THAT'S a great man.

So Rand is the winning poster ladyboy for libertarianism. We're doomed...

Who's the pink boy in the pic?

It's Richard Masur. He played David Kane on One Day at a Time,/i>

This is totally off topic but is so outrageous I thought Reasonoids should know:

This has nothing to do with health care (or is at best tangential), but it shows Grassley's character (or lack thereof). He is proposing an amendment to Jim Webb's bill to create a criminal justice commission that would forbid any discussion of any change in the legal status of currently illegal drugs:

LEAP has noted that Sen Chuck Grassley is trying to amend Jim Webb's criminal justice reform commission bill to explicitly forbid talk of legalization.
