As much as it may pain some of you to even look at something called "Right Wing News," I will still encourage you all to take a gander at that. I know, it's not the standard "Man bites Dog" fare that seems to have taken over this forum, but, y'know...

Okay, that really, really pisses me off. Hopefully this will follow the path of the Alaskan bridge to nowhere.

lol
to be honest i dont think they ever built a train in the middle of nowhere. Most of it was just running the trains where they were least needed for government favoritism.
RIDICULOUS!

There is a movie in production, and Brad and Angelina are lined up to play Hank and Dagny. Unlike the last 40 tries, this one looks like it's gonna actually hit the theaters sometime soon...

I'm sorry, but I just can't respect anyone who likes Ayn Rand.

I liked Anthem and tried a few times to get through Atlas Shrugged. I wouldn't pick her books for a vacation read but she's cool.

You know, considering the content of her books it's fucking ironic that people cling to some popular concept that her books suck. It's like some huge joke is being played on idiots or something ;/

I like her writing style, and her philosophy. I liked fountainhead better as far as writing goes, though, there was just more "Soul". How was Anthem?

:eek I'm more of a mystery or action guy so reading her books can be boring for me...reading some of the comments in this section can be boring, but I take the time to research some of your meandering complex babbling egg head crap and find solice in the fact that I'm not insane
