Kind of odd ~ Mark Sanford’s Ayn Rand article in the next issue of Newsweek:

Atlas Hugged

More than odd. I’ll say this for Sanford— he knows a little something about Going Galt. /

As for Ayn Rand…well, I can do no better than to reproduce this:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.

The other, of course, involves orcs.
