WOW

Looking at this piece and others like it makes me shake my head.

A sample:

Some years ago when I worked at the libertarian Cato Institute, we used to label any new hire who had not yet read "Atlas Shrugged" a "virgin." Being conversant in Ayn Rand's classic novel about the economic carnage caused by big government run amok was practically a job requirement. If only "Atlas" were required reading for every member of Congress and political appointee in the Obama administration. I'm confident that we'd get out of the current financial mess a lot faster.

Many of us who know Rand's work have noticed that with each passing week, and with each successive bailout plan and economic-stimulus scheme out of Washington, our current politicians are committing the very acts of economic lunacy that "Atlas Shrugged" parodied in 1957, when this 1,000-page novel was first published and became an instant hit.

So, no mention that the bail-outs and the so called economic stimulus package came from a republican administration? More people and opinion pieces pop up daily refusing to accept responsibility, pointing fingers and attempting to lay the blame for this mess on a congress that was just seated days ago and a president who will not even take the oath of office for another week?

I too think everyone should read this book. It is well written and thought provoking but really...how many more pieces like this have we seen so far and how many more will we see as the republican party, conservatives and others who were a$$ deep in causing this train wreck attempt to distance themselves from the Bush administration?
