One minute, 45 seconds. What a bunch of self-centered hogwash.

It perplexes me that the rabid-right worships at the altar of Rand, since she despised religion, and was a GOP-sized hypocrite. For the last 9 years of her life she took Social Security and Medicare payments from the government (keeping that little tidbit a secret though) after spending her entire life railing against anyone sucking from the government teat (much like many of today's GOPers).

Yep, the right-wingers do love their hypocrites, don't they?
