Stossel moving to FBN
Ray
program on Fox Business Network.

"It certainly feels unlike anything I've seen out there before," he says.
"We're planning a whole show on [the Ayn Rand novel] Atlas Shrugged, and
another one on global warming. I'm doing one on John Mackey, CEO of Whole
Foods, on the consumer boycott against him." (Mackey's Wall Street Journal
op-ed denying that Americans have an intrinsic right to health care sparked
calls for a boycott.)

There's a sleeping disorder I've experienced a few times. I don't
know the name for it. You're asleep, dreaming, you know it's a dream
but you can't open your eyes, cannot move. It takes what seems a very
long time and great effort to move an arm, then your head, and wake
up.
What's going on now politically is such utter insanity that it feels
as if it is such a dream.
I remember as a very young man in the late sixties and through the
seventies thinking that at some time in the future our progeny would
look back on my generation, heads shaking with pity, and perhaps
anger.
Well, my generation has come of age and is in control.
Though he got the referrent wrong, Reverend Wright was exquisitely
right when he declared, with passion, that America's chickens are
coming home to roost.
These chickens are utterly bankrupt of prinicipled argument,
benevolence, credibility.
When Stossel does his Atlas Shrugged program I hope he says something
about the inherent impotence of evil -- absent the sanction of its
victims.

" ... a Lilliputian whining about the smell of Gulliver's feet."
I'll have to write that one down.

Well, Matt, thanks for posting this.
Amazing the feeling of something of the same genre as "relief" just
from reading a damn letter to the editor on a Saturday morning.
Maybe it's more accurately of the same genre as "soul fuel," a la one
of the things Rand held characterizes art.
It's oddly reassuring to have evidence that there are people "out
there" who get it, who are sane, whose judgments make sense.
Maybe the guy at the next table where I had breakfast this morning
wrote one of those letters. Or perhaps the woman in front of me in
the supermarket who was buying the odd collection of fresh basil, soy
milk and a rib roast. Or the young man who called asking for a
Christmas donation to the local volunteer fire company.
Reminds me of Rand's description in The Fountainhead of how Roark's
reputation spread, something like underground springs that surfaced
here and there, often unexpectedly, yet inevitably.

The revival of interest in Ayn Rand is the single good thing I can identify
about the Obama Administration. Everything else is all bad, and very bad at
that.

The Obamarxists are accelerating the collapse
of the most corrupt polity on earth. Is that
a bad thing?
You are given a choice: suffer a long, lingering,
mild illness, or sweat it out feverishly in one
night... which do you choose?
PS Have you heard the latest revelations:
they now admit that Commie Care won't
reduce costs (gummit monopoly is no panacea,
who woulda thunk?) It was a lie all along,
an excuse for the biggest power grab in
american history.

I'm not so sure that this analogy is accurate.

With this, however, I couldn't agree more.
