From the amazing John Rogers at Kung Fu Monkey:
"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."
If you're not up on the latest bloviation erratically orbiting the looneyspehere, google "Going Galt" and prepare for hours of amusement. And for Ghu's sake, don't even think about looking up "teabagging the White House," or watching the John Stewart Show video you might find if you were to do so.
