Whoo, what a stinker it is. Temazepam in libric form....

[kpete]

I can barely credit that they have made a movie from that turgid nonsense by Ayn Rand.
I have about eighteen copies of “Atlas Shrugged” – all signed in that self-consciously spiky handwriting of hers.

Every Christmas from 1957 onwards, a present would arrive from Ayn by ordinary post. It would be wrapped in festive newspaper, usually with a gift-tag recycled from last year, and every fucking time it would be a fucking copy of fucking Atlas fucking Shrugged.

They’re good for weighting down decoupage projects, although when it comes to slugging a nurse over the head when I want to sneak out to buy booze, nothing beats my signed first edition of “The Fountainhead”. Mind you, it might be easier just to read it to them. Whoo, what a stinker it is. Temazepam in libric form....

1. Those on the site-that-cannot-be-named are vowing to see it time and again because all the 'liberal'

movie critics are panning it.

2. The so-called 'film' gives artistic expression to what lives in the RepubliBagger (R) soul...

all that is vapid, turgid, crass, banal, greedy, insipid, flat, whiney, and pro-peckerhead ...

ATLAS IS CRAPPING

3. Thanks.

Some awesome writing there - and in the comments.

On edit:

I came across this write-up of Sarah Palin by the same writer (Sarah, Proud and Tall)
