Atlas Shrugged: The Mocking

Coming Attractions That Never Come

I have not forgotten Atlas Shrugged and will cover the next chapter very soon. However, I have just picked up Ross Douthat's Privilege and will cover its chunky goodness as well. So far in our story, Ross is eternally shocked to discover that nothing is the way he thinks it should be, and he is deeply disappointed in both it and you, whoever you might be.

I have a bad tendency to announce that I will write a post and then I forget to write the post.

Really!

sorta like Mcmegan who 'forgot' to write about Elizabeth Warren?

We love your snark anyway.

The juxtaposition of Chunky Reese Witherspoon and 'attractions that never come' is always funny.

I am both forgetful and evil.

Gee, Ross, I'm SORRY the world can't be the way it was during the Taft Administration....

"Ross Douthat's Privilege"

Let me guess... he's in favor of it.

Hmm, it appears Blogger/Google took away the ability to subscribe to thread comments, unless I'm missing something. I hope that comes back...

I just discovered that Roger Ebert has a great one-line summary of Rand's philosophy. This is from his Atlas Shrugged (Part 1) review: "I'm on board; pull up the lifeline."
