I think we can officially declare that The Last Word on all mutations of Rand & Co.

Really. Tapper should, like, charge admission or something.

I just got banned, didn’t I?

If it’s any consolation, you probably got banned for the semen in the last post. Nice twitters, BTW. They’re like Poor Richard updated for the 21st century. No one will be reading Tapper’s anyway when they get a load of your deep thoughts. May the minion army grow.

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.

Is there a difference?

Extra “style points” to the Scientologists for this one–although if they keep this up, they may actually attract DFHs and the librul elite.

No boobie pictures? You bastard!

I’ve got your boobie picture right here.

The main difference between Scientologists and Randians, of course, is that L. Ron Hubbard set up a single, unified pyramid scheme for his followers to inherit. Rand made her followers each build his own.

Greetings, and hope you enjoy the book. (You earn triple nerd points by blogging about the book!).

From a class I created in 2001, this has been a fun ride. Case in point – getting asked to some some science consulting for the Watchmen film two years ago. Which enabled me to demonstrate the fundamental principle of quantum mechanics (the wave like nature of matter) to more people in three weeks than I would teaching for over a millennium!

Which of course is doomed to fail, since the only thing Randians actually build is a delusional fantasy of self importance. Actually creating? Not so much.

You’re on Twitter? Damn, I may actually be tempted to figure out how to use it, then. Your posts brighten my days (will you be able to Thursday night bassett Twitter?)

And second – You are a book lover/buyer/distracted person like myself. All too often I have found second and third copies of something, too. And then, there’s the copy of “The Anti-Federalist Papers” that disappeared–so i bought a second copy–only to lose that one, too. Suspect it will re-appear one day. Probably behind the heavy bookshelf that never gets moved to sweep behind.

Have you ever waded through the list of people Jake Tapper follows on Twitter?

Remarkably instructive. Imagine having the evanescent thoughts of Ken Blackwell, Karl Rove, Ron Fournier, Ann Kornbluth and Andrew Malcolm beamed to your PDA in real time.

I wonder if back when he was trying to get some easy sex from Monica Lewinsky he ever thought it would come to this sort of glory.

Welcome, professor. You’ll find we’re a rather unruly, but thoughtful lot, and who wouldn’t want to be associated with the one and only Demonic Conservative Ridicule Machine?

Which of course is doomed to fail, since the only thing Randians actually build is a delusional fantasy of self importance. Actually creating? Not so much.

I don’t know…. Isn’t a delusional fantasy of self-importance technically the mental equivalent of an individual pyramid scheme? (Don’t think about that one too long. Teh stupid will short-circuit something in your brain.)

Thank you – but as the kids say nowadays – long time lurker, first time poster.

Actually I’ve posted here before on the old web site. The firedoglake registration protocols previously proved too challenging for this rocket scientist. I had wanted to post when tbogg was first identified as a “Demonic Conservative Ridicule Machine” during the campaign season. As I recall, he accompanied that post with an image from Jack Kirby’s Demon # 1, yet did not update the incantation for the Obama Age:

Gone, Gone
Somewhat Popular Man,
Arise the Demon
Yes We Can!

OK – probably just as well I didn’t post before. If anyone needs me, I’ll be in the Intrinsic Field Chamber.

Don’t forget your watch, Professor…

And remember – nerds run this world! And we’re not going to take any more shit from the Man!

Matt Taibbi has the latest on who is running the world. The same guys who just brought it down.

Oh, wow. Wait till I tell my friends I got to sit in the comments section only two seats away from Professor Kakalios. This is seriously cool.

Thank you Professor. I am now such a combination of bored and confused that Billy Crudup’s glowing blue penis has been forced from my mind….Well, crap, now it’s back.

Please welcome Dr. Herr Perfesser James Kakalios in the comments

He even has all the Marvel Comics action figurines! Molto cool!

“Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters and the Birth of the Comic Book” by Gerard Jones. An utterly wonderful way to waste time!

This is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone connect John Rogers to Scientology. Are you maybe confusing him with John-Roger?

Gone, Gone
Somewhat Popular Man,
Arise the Demon
Yes We Can!

That is High Funny, right there.
