Newsweek publishes Mark Sanford's interpretation of Ayn Rand's work
Atlas Hugged

6. WHY is this philandering cretin being given attention for anything? he isn't even smart enough
to lie convincingly--and he's going to "interpret" something?

won't even bother clicking on the link. . .

the ONLY thing I want to see in print, or on the airwaves, from mr. "hiking the appalachian trail" is "I am an asshole, and I resign"

9.  Interesting tidbits about her in the current issue of The Economist
The Economist reviewed two new books about Rand:

"The woman behind these right-wing myths was exceedingly odd. She had “a glare that could wilt a cactus” according to a writer in Time, and wore a broach in the shape of a dollar sign. She was even odder to live with. Ms Burns points out that she obliged her long-suffering husband to wear a bell attached to his shoe so that she could hear him come and go. She all but obliged her leading acolyte, Nathaniel Branden, to meet her for sex twice a week, informing both her husband and Mrs Branden that the arrangement was rational."
