I LUB Facebook! I lub taking the "How Many Musicals Can You Identify" quiz and being all like, "Take that, suckas! You'll never know Rodgers and Hammerstein like I do!" and posting 30-minute videos of my fiance proposing to me and tagging pictures of my friends and being all like, "OMG this is me with Cindy I love her SO MUCH!!!" and "OMG this is me totally crunk at Angie's party!!! LOL good times!"

And that's when people comment, like, reply, join, and reaffirm my existence.

>> ^chilaxe: Statistically speaking
If you are going to speak statistically, show us the numbers. I would honestly like to see them, but I doubt they exist.

Yes, there probably aren't any statistics available, but media coverage generally regards Rand's followers as skewing toward self-reliant, libertarian types who emphasize performance.* It would be surprising if an ideology that glorifies self-reliance wasn't associated with increased self-reliant attitudes.

I think it's generally most rewarding for people to read everything, with the goal of being 'informationally a mile wide,' but those who are disinclined are free to reject the lessons in objectivist themes. IMHO, that just means more advantages available for those who draw from a broader sample of the marketplace of ideas, and that's really how the system is supposed to work. So rail against objectivism to your heart's content

Many business leaders say Atlas Shrugged influenced their lives more than anything else they have read. Joe Stafford, the 40-year-old CEO of supply chain management company IC Solutions, said he was a liberal before reading Rand at 23. Chip Joyce, the 31-year-old president of Ulla Bazant, a maker of high-end women's apparel, says the book has been his "frame of reference." http://www.usatoday.com/money/companies/management/2002-09-23-ayn-rand_x.htm

Hugh Hefner and Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas found Rand fascinating. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Whole Foods CEO John Mackey both cite Rand’s books as influential, though Mackey has said he doesn’t believe businesses exist solely to make a profit and selfishness is a virtue. In Silicon Valley, Rand’s ideas appeal to generations of entrepreneurs who built the computer industry and the Internet. T.J. Rodgers, CEO of Cypress Semiconductor, is a notorious Rand fan; Patrick W. Grady named his company Rearden Commerce after the steel magnate Hank Rearden from Atlas. http://www.bnet.com/2403-13056_23-272467.html

This is what it would sound like if Mr Rodger's Neighborhood attacked W.


Indeed. I was getting "Neighborhood of Make-Believe" flashbacks.

This is what it would sound like if Mr Rodger's Neighborhood attacked W.

Ahh, yes! Mr. Keith David!
He also portrayed 'King', in Platoon; the Arbiter on Halo 3, and Julius in the Saints Row series.
John Carpenter directed (and cast?)him in - They Live, and The Thing.


Fox Interviewer : "So, Keith, exactly did you go from 'Keith the Southwood Carpenter' on a popular child's T.V. show,
to a pot-smoking soldier, (Oliver Stone's) to a
top selling Sci-horror actor, to voice-over actor for the latest "M" rated
video games?"

Keith : "Good agent?"

Fox Interviewer : "Mr, David, do you hate yourself? Did you know that your performance in "Pitch Black" helped launch Vin Diesel's career?"

Keith : "Now hold on a minute! What's wrong with Vin Deisel?"

Fox Interviewer : "I'm asking the questions here! Not Mr Rodger's "Donkey Kong man"! "

Paul Rodgers is not Freddie Mercury. Nobody is Freddie Mercury.

One of their best songs, certainly.

Everything is bigger in Canada. Including Mr. Rodgers.

http://www.videosift.com/video/Kenny-Rogers-Hosts-Jackass and http://www.videosift.com/video/Kenny-Rodgers-hosts-Jackass-Again. I say dupe.

I love Fred too, but I heard something disturbing recently.

The thought was posited that Mr. Rodgers was responsible for some of the cultural problem we're having now. It stems from the notion that everyone was programmed to think "they are special", leading everyone to feel a sense of innate entitlement. This made me a little sad.

Paul Rodgers absolutely rocks!

He's still got it...
