Oh man. I needed that today.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
When all you’ve got is going Galt on yourself, you know somethings really wrong.
Hilarious!
December 7th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Psst, Cole: I got this.
Two weeks ago!
December 7th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
FAFSAs Shrugged…Stafford something…
Oh, I’ve got it! Looks like that Fountainhead…no.
I got nothing.

@Anne Laurie: You’re going to have to forgive him.
Severe whiplash has weird effects on memory.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
@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?”

Oh, snap! I thought I saw this before.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
@Anne Laurie: Christ. Why do I keep missing shit. I swear I read the front page.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:08 pm
Galt’s check must have bounced
December 7th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
@John Cole: Don’t delete it though. Douchebaggery like this needs to be acknowledged early and often.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
Cole should check out this awesome site called Balloon Juice.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
@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.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
Damn. Now we’ll never learn who John Galt is.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:15 pm
Damn…Jon Stewart is on a roll tonight…..
December 7th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
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.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
@Anne Laurie: Yeah, well, Cole only reads cool blogs, not the kind of emo dreck that shows up at places like this.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:18 pm
The definition of “worrisome:” when you find yourself agreeing with McMegan. In this case, she thinks Democrats did OK in the tax deal.

@burnspbesq: Oh shit. That brings out my Kristol alert. Filibuster Bernie filibuster!
December 7th, 2010 at 11:20 pm
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.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:21 pm
@suzanne:
Improved that for ya.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:24 pm
@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.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:25 pm
@Yutsano: Awww! HUGZ.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:26 pm
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.
TL + 3
December 7th, 2010 at 11:29 pm
Thanks for the hilarity booster shot! That is fucking hilarious!
@Anne Laurie:
Pssst… I missed this, about two weeks ago I see. Oops!
:)
December 7th, 2010 at 11:29 pm
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.
December 7th, 2010 at 11:41 pm
@Glinda: Why isn’t there a “Preview” button on this site. Sheesh!

December 8th, 2010 at 12:10 am
@suzanne:
Ah yes… sweet, sweet schadenfreude…
The nectar of the godless…
I have to say… after reading this… I’m in a better mood…
December 8th, 2010 at 12:15 am
This post should come with a “Get the government out of my Medicare” tag.

@beltane:
Some Mockers here (if not on your own computer, there’s no attempt at being PC at ED).
December 8th, 2010 at 4:37 am
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.
December 8th, 2010 at 4:44 am
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.)
December 8th, 2010 at 8:56 am
John – The “Invisible Hand” tag is a winnah, too.
December 8th, 2010 at 8:57 am
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…”
