Who IS John Galt?

Ding! Correct.

Atlas Shrugged is finally being made into a movie. This is awesome, because it means the illiterate will be able to hate Ayn Rand as much as I do.

The book has a failed premise, an imaginary force, an impossible rebellion, and a bunch of unlikeable fools as players. The liklihood of us seeing Lord of the Rings or Dune become reality in our lifetimes is not only far greater, but more to be desired. This movie, like the book, will do more to damage real conservatism and commonsense than anything to come before or likely to come after. You want to see an accurate vision of the future? read Player Piano. Sure, it’s great to fantasise that a good man will come along and fix the world, but it will only ever be a fantasy. The closest we ever came was Reagan, and we won’t see another Reagan in our lives.

Give this a little thought: A group of motivated people who know what is right, taking the bull by the horns and fixing America despite the protestations of the evil and stupid.

Yes, you guessed it, it’s the Obama Administration. And John Galt is Nancy Pelosi.

I’ve kind of avoided this album, because I felt it was just capitalizing on Johnny’s death- but then I stumbed across this cut.

God meant Johnny to have that song. Neal was just… hanging onto it for him.

Fucker’s been dead for years and his voice still pulls at me, from beyond the grave.

Distressingly, Barry Manilow is still with us. Go figure.

Supposed to get all the way up to 40 this weekend. Break out the swimsuits!

Speaking of swimsuit, I often wanted to see Linda Rondstadt in one.

The tight, high waisted jeans, boots, hair, lusty voice- what more could you ask for? I wanted to hit that like the fist of an Angry God. I must have spent a hundred hours holding the album “Who’s here” up with one hand. Of course, she’s politically ignorant as any of the rockandroll intelligentsia, and supports Michael Moore, whom she also currently resembles- but boy, could that woman make Mr Happy come to attention, in her day.
