Thanks, Betsy. Watching my daughter finish up her essay for the Anthem contest was one of my favorite birthday gifts today.

Happy birthday from one Reich to another!

That reminds me of one of those annoying Church signs I saw once - "If God is your co-pilot you're in the wrong seat." That almost makes "God is my co-pilot" benevolent and rational.

Change you can believe in!

I saw the same AP article and was stunned it was called "reporting." That's a great point by O'Brien on Archimedes principle.

Anthem would be an even better choice.

I got this in the Oregonian today. Apparently it went in a number of Sunday newspapers nationally. It's about "the threat of Radical Islam to Western Civilization." I haven't watched it so I don't know if it is any good. It is encouraging though to see so many papers take this on. Only 2 refused to carry it. Anyone else get this?

What would Ayn Rand have done?

I just saw this from the Wall Street Journal - Do we have any finance/accounting experts with a view on this? If I remember from my MBA finance class GAAP is more principle based and international is more rules based, which may be unfavorable. However, with the nightmare of SarBox I have read that other countries' systems, such as the UK, are more business friendly.

I've seen some articles about them via my Yahoo Ayn Rand news search, but hadn't checked their music out before. I just listened to a few clips on iTunes. Sounds like decent pop rock.

It was a nice 16 year break from the Soviets. Too bad they're back.

I just finished reading this. I will see the movie, but this doesn't hold a candle to Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns or 300.

Happy Birthday to the other Reich on this message board!

I'm still currently intent on holding my nose and voting for John McCain.

That "Watchful Eyes" poster looks like something out of 1984. Amazing.
