Entry: The Day I Met Ayn Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_day_i_met_ayn#19807 Post contents: Men as Gods ehhhh? While I am as prone to lionizing people of strong personal vision and conviction as the next "cultist", it seems a little incongruous for Ayn to be wearing a dollar sign while glorifying Howard Roark for burning down his own commission. Then again , I'm more than a tad barbudo loco and prefer my movement leaders to be more like , say Pancho Villa. Given a choice between spending time with the Ayn Rand Comintern or Dorothy Parker and the Algonquin Round Table, I'd take Parker any day. Rand's superhumanity was disturbingly modern, like today's it has no sense of humor. Hearing the Oracular Somnambulator Greenspan discuss his time in the Inner Circle of Ayn Rand sums it up nicely for me. Sent at: 2008 05 16
