Flash: Tea Party Gives Up Drinking Tea

Based on disappointing economic news that firing public workers, restricting unemployment benefits, blocking stimulus packages, increasing taxes on the poor and preventing the young and old from voting has failed to stimulate the economic recovery they have resorted to drinking Kool-Aid to maintain their ideological continence.

Juxtaposition always brings surprise. 


The Tea Party and Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged Ayn Rand is a cult figure for Tea Party types, but if a bad movie gets them reading, they may be surprised by her ideas by Megan Gibson 4/22/11 UK

From the article -

...The movie's publicity has only propelled sales yet higher – the opening weekend saw the book version of Atlas Shrugged shoot to the No 4 spot on Amazon's bestseller list.

So, while the Tea Party's promotion of Rand has made a splash, Objectivists can take comfort knowing that the impact has largely been on book sales. If one has to delve into Randian territory, it's better to go straight to the master's words rather than a choice interpretation of them or convenient soundbites.

Scrapping ... do you know abt. it ...I think It happened to me!

Well ... what is scrapping ... it is when someone pulls down everything from your site!  The evidence is that you get nothing but single page hits.  In the last few minutes that is what has happened ... I've been watching!

I am not trying to be paranoid ... but by documenting the fact I trust I can offer myself some insurance about what may happen in the next few days.

I'll keep you posted about my curious reader or my paranoia!
