Oh man. I needed that today.

When all you’ve got is going Galt on yourself, you know somethings really wrong.
Hilarious!
Anne Laurie
Psst, Cole: I got this.
Two weeks ago!
Jewish Steel
FAFSAs Shrugged…Stafford something…
Oh, I’ve got it! Looks like that Fountainhead…no.
I got nothing.
Corner Stone
@Anne Laurie: You’re going to have to forgive him.
Severe whiplash has weird effects on memory.
Evolved Deep Southerner
@Anne Laurie: Um, yeah. I was about to say something like “Lord, didn’t we talk this thing to death the other night, or was I just imagining all that?”
Hunter Gathers
Atlas Floundered
Jewish Steel
@Anne Laurie:
Oh, snap! I thought I saw this before.
John Cole
@Anne Laurie: Christ. Why do I keep missing shit. I swear I read the front page.
Hunter Gathers
Galt’s check must have bounced
Yutsano
@John Cole: Don’t delete it though. Douchebaggery like this needs to be acknowledged early and often.

Cole should check out this awesome site called Balloon Juice.
Corner Stone
@John Cole: It’s the emo whiplash.
For God’s sake don’t pick Lily up any time soon when you’re out for a walk.

Damn. Now we’ll never learn who John Galt is.
WyldPirate
Damn…Jon Stewart is on a roll tonight…..

Objectivism is just about the most stupid philosophy ever devised by humankind. I wish there was a philosopher afterlife where Ayn Rand could be mocked by her betters for all eternity.
Martin
@Anne Laurie: Yeah, well, Cole only reads cool blogs, not the kind of emo dreck that shows up at places like this.

The definition of “worrisome:” when you find yourself agreeing with McMegan. In this case, she thinks Democrats did OK in the tax deal.

Possibly Too Offensive, But I Cannot Resist:
“Help, I’m being fisted by the invisible hand”
Lolis
@John Cole:
the drugs?
Yutsano
@burnspbesq: Oh shit. That brings out my Kristol alert. Filibuster Bernie filibuster!
suzanne
LMMFAO. This has improved my mood immensely.
I realize that the schadenfreude which comprises so much of what I find hilarious in fact proves that I am a horrible person with a heart of coal. I’m totally okay with that.
Yutsano
@suzanne:
Improved that for ya.

@Anne Laurie, @John Cole: You can blame me for not catching this in my usual stroll thorough here and causing a backfeed-y’know, like plugging in one of those Denon $500 audiophile-grade Ethernet cables in backwards (look it up on Amazon). Perhaps putting “Ayn Rand U’ in the title might have stuck in my mind a little more firmer.
I ask forgiveness.
suzanne
@Yutsano: Awww! HUGZ.
Tom Levenson
I’m with@Yutsano: . I loved it when Anne Laurie led me to the whole CHE schadenfreude-fest, and I love it now. Can’t have too much fun with this kind of stuff.

Thanks for the hilarity booster shot! That is fucking hilarious!
@Anne Laurie:
Pssst… I missed this, about two weeks ago I see. Oops!
:)
Glinda
Okay. That news has made me much perkier.
To flog one of my favorite quotes:
A nod to John Rogers (from a post several years ago) @ Kung Fu Monkey.
Glinda
@Glinda: Why isn’t there a “Preview” button on this site. Sheesh!
Ripley
Who is John Cole?
Ozymandias, King of Ants
Atlas Flunked.
Yutsano
@Ozymandias, King of Ants: Win!
The Republic of Stupidity
@suzanne:
Ah yes… sweet, sweet schadenfreude…
The nectar of the godless…
I have to say… after reading this… I’m in a better mood…

This post should come with a “Get the government out of my Medicare” tag.
Mumphrey
Atlas Flubbed?
Mumphrey
Atlas Sucked. Atlas Flopped. Atlas Slumped. Atlas Whiffed. I’m betting there are a lot more, but I’m ready for bed…

Atlas Shrieked.

OT: The Independent says wingers miffed that Sarah can’t shoot straight.

@beltane:
Some Mockers here (if not on your own computer, there’s no attempt at being PC at ED).
Platonicspoof
This sounds like mockery of Rand’s not-ground-breaking philosophy, as A=A is considerably older than Rand, but Keats was making a philosophical effort to come up with a city law that no one could ever break.
SFAW
Who?
That article was so full of win, it’s more fun than the Rand U one, thanks.
Palin should be glad it was a caribou, and not a grizzly, she was trying to bag. Otherwise she’d be Grizzly Manure, not Mama.
Foundered. (Please forgive the pedantry.)
SFAW
John –
The “Invisible Hand” tag is a winnah, too.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAAHAHAA
The Schadenfreude, it tastes so good!
Reminds of the mad scientist guy from the movie “Help!”: “Oh, he’s out the rule the world… if he can get a government grant…”
