Outstanding picture, Jameson!

I had to drive 100 miles back from school this morning and thought what better way to celebrate the birth of Our Blessed Lady than be tuning my iTouch to Herrmann reading ATLAS SHRUGGED.

Thanks Ayn,

Not just that, but that she's right.

She'll eventually rock the world harder than Kant or Marx. Those two are going down.

about Rand, was her ability to put such a mass of complex thought into simple terms so that any common man, or woman, can grasp the essence of it clearly.

Happy birthday Ayn. Man! Am I glad you were born!

The true magnificence of a man can be seen in he who swims resolutely against a strong tide, in virtue of purpose, reason and self esteem.

...that I at least 'got it' this time, Glenn, without even needing smiley faces. But then, I've never thought of myself as a 'humorless Yank' to begin with....

Funny the 'Dickensian' label, Linz. Yet another instance of a complete misunderstanding of Rand.

if you'd used one of these:

This only succeeded in seeding doubt.

Dumbass.

I edited my small reply post too, from my iphone, after reconsidering how it sounded.
I actually knew what you meant, and of course it was in jest, but some Americans can take it wrongly.

since you put it like that I wish you hadn't replied on my post, which now prevents me from deleting or modifying a comment that has left me somewhat in a blush. Let me just say for the record that I DO NOT think that Lindsay is that way inclined ~ with minors ~ and I unreservedly apologise for the rather off-colour remark.

Leave the kiddy-fiddling to the Perons.

That's ridiculous! I'm sure you would've given young Oliver a second helping if he'd asked for it nicely!

And Thank You.

Which part of it upset them?

Hahaha!

Michael Cullen, then in opposition, demanded to know if the government were concerned that Morning Report, the country's #1 radio current affairs flagship, was fronted by an advocate of nineteenth century Dickensian cruelty and exploitation. Hahahaha!

one only need read her essays of decades ago and see into the future even from here on.

Berlin Wall/Fall of Communism
Rise of Environmentalism
Political Correctness
Collapse of the Euro
War originating in EU
Fall of the EU

her called that, Gregster -- an excellent title!

A Prophet!

A stupendous hero!

Which part of it upset them? :-/

...I wish there was more to celebrate, but unfortunately your worse nightmares are coming true!

This is a slightly tweaked version of something I wrote as a tribute published in a major national daily newspaper in NZ back in 1982, just after Ayn Rand died. With my signature and 9 others. Boy, did it cause a furore. Questions in Parliament and all!

Thank you for posting this reverence.
