John Galt, meet Henry Bowman.
To me the only worthwhile thing on this post is the link to the blogger’s page which has an entirely different posting with the delicious title of, “Biden Thinks Obama Made a Mistake on Panetta, Obama Thinks He Made a Mistake on Biden.”
Can someone use this opportunity to actually post something useful today?
Maybe we also should be looking for Dominique Francon as well?
Look up Pelagius and Augustine, and their views on original sin.
How about “We never had to take any of it seriously, did we?”
who who,
who who...

The Probability Broach,
The Mitzvah (with Aaron Zelman)
Hope (with Aaron Zelman)
More enjoyable stories, more engaging characters, and definitely more guns, than Ayn Rand.
I am here, John Galt.
Perhaps a more appropriate question these days might be:
Who is Joe the Plumber?
I am. (We are)I read FR everyday!
Dumbass. The funny thing is, those who are homeless and jobless are still far better off under capitalism. A jobless 35 year old in Greece is still living with their parents. In America, they are getting government housing an a welfare check because capitalism produces enough wealth to be milked by big government. I wonder if this jerk has ever viewed the plight of the homeless in third world socialist hell-holes? They are begging money to keep from starving to death, not to score their next bottle or drug fix.
Read post #13. :^)
The satire reaches total saturation.
It’s about to be......WHERE IS JOHN GALT.
I just finished it and have encouraged others to read it also. When asked why it should be read, I say because it explains our world today and where it is going. You will understand everything after finishing this book.
A friend told me that she read a short blurb that 2% of the entire country is currently reading Atlas Shrugged.
Bull pies...
We haven't had free markets since the 19th century in America. That's the 1800's for those of you edumacated in public schools.
John Galt is the heroic main character in Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged. Although he is absent from much of the text, he is the subject of the novel’s oft repeated question, “Who is John Galt?”, and the quest to discover the answer.

Where in the World is John Galt?
How is John Galt?
BTW, I’ve got my copy of Atlas Shrugged on order. Should be cracking it open about this time next week...
Pelagius is that guy that Darth Sidious killed, isn’t he?
</nerd>
Are you series?
I have to know if this is Hugh.
Just Akston the question.
