Quote of the Day

“It seems that if the [Las Vegas Review-Journal] is going to run a fluffy pucker piece about Ayn Rand, there should be some sort of disclaimer attached. The paper’s recent butt-kisser profile of the wacky novelist was so gushy that I almost had to wipe unidentified bodily fluids off the newsprint. Since Rand is the official deity of the R-J, and since Atlas Shrugged is the holy scripture, couldn’t the rest of us get some sort of warning before the paper unleashes another burst of love juice?” — KLAS-TV investigative reporter and CityLife columnist George Knapp, on southern Nevada‘s sorry excuse for a newspaper. I should add that Atlas Shrugged appears to be mandatory reading for high-level casino executives, a significant number of whom cite it as their favorite book.
