OT: Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged”

[Arraya]

The Linkery probably has one of the best burgers around as well. Cheddar, bacon, egg and caramelized onions…

Ah, the sweet smell of “reductio ad Hitlerum”. Nothing like resurrecting Herr Schicklgruber to draw a truly odious comparison. Godwin’s Law writ large.

Of course, if we all read “Mother Jones” and the “Utne Reader” regularly, wore sensible shoes (Birkenstocks) and ate a healthy diet comprised of fruits, nuts and flakes, well, everything would be just groovy.

If we’re going for required reading that’s actual useful, how’s about Upton Sinclair’s 1935 classic, “It Can’t Happen Here”? Or, Arthur Koestler’s “Darkness at Noon”?

The fact is, the lunatics on the Right are matched by the lunatics on the Left. Both radicalized elements are terrified of the truth (“A Million Dead At Chernobyl!!!”) and will use whatever cheap rhetorical devices are at hand to attempt to discredit their foes. Facts, however, are not so much in evidence.

The Hitler Jugend? Really? Why not Komsomol? Or, if you want a really nefarious bunch, how about the friggin’ Boy Scouts of America? That oughta really get your Lefty blood boiling![/quote]

All you gotta do is repackage the “It Can’t Happen Here – Its happening!” by replacing names with President Obama, Frank, Geithner, etc and put Beck’s name as updated author and you have guaranteed best-seller with 7 figure advance.

This may be my faux pas for mentionion it, but did you reveal your sympathies with proletariat class with Upton Sinclair/ Sinclair Lewis Freudian slip? So melancholy, can’t we get an Updike reference once?

Have you been to the Linkery in North Park?
You might like it.
This may sound like blasphemy but I like sausage with kimchi. Now that is a fermented food.
[/quote]

I second that recommendation. I loves me some tasty snausages.[/quote]
I third that reccomendation.[/quote]

Well, if Dan, Dave, Arraya and UCGal all find common cause, who am I to disagree? I’ll definitely add it to the list.

If you’re in North County, be sure to hit Tip Top Deli in Carlsbad. Not only a very good sausage (snausages, Dave? Really?) selection, but an amazing meat department as well, including venison, boar and quail.

Its also got all things German, in terms of beer, mustards, grocery goods, etc, and not a single Johnsonville Brat to be found! (People how eat Johnsonville Brats should be shot out of hand, and are in the same general category as those who own poodles, espouse the benefits of healthy living, watch “The View” or are French).
