Vituperative but thoughtful observations on history, politics, religion, and society. Saturday, February 28, 2009. When I was at a bookstore about a week ago, a customer came in and asked for a copy of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. I chuckled to myself, wondering if he wanted to read it or use the tome as a door stop. But apparently sales of Rand's opus are way up. Thanks to El Presidente? Monday, February 23, 2009. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. Glad to see NRO sensibly casting a handful of presidential votes.
