Robert Sirico, head of the free-market Acton Institute, agrees. “If you want to offend, Rand accomplishes that. But if you want to convert—well, for instance, who could imagine Rand debating a health-care bill? I wouldn’t want to take an order from her in a restaurant, let alone negotiate a political point.””<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704402404574525702581182272.html?mod=rss_opinion_main">Does Ayn Rand Hurt the Libertarian Cause? - WSJ.com</a></em>http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/269203980http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/269203980Fri, 04 Dec 2009 12:07:08 -0500<img src="http://20.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ku4yx3yPe71qz4f2zo1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Three logos and six text lines that are being tested to see how well they communicate that ads are customized.

They don’t honor their own lives, they piss on their lives. They shit them away. Dumb fuckers. They concentrate too much on fucking, movies, money, family, fucking. Their minds are full of cotton. They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them. Their brains are stuffed with cotton. They look ugly, they talk ugly, they walk ugly. Play them the great music of the centuries and they can’t hear it. Most people’s deaths are a sham. There’s nothing left to die.”<br/><br/> - <em>Charles Bukowski (via <a href="http://50yearstorm.tumblr.com/">50yearstorm</a>) (via <a href="http://syntheticpubes.com/">syntheticpubes</a>)</em>http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/264252390http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/264252390Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:18:42 -0500<img src="http://9.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kty965dE4o1qz4f2zo1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Awesome Christmas gift idea for the horrorfan in your life.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/gear/b9b2">ThinkGeek :: Horror Movie Shower Curtain & Bath Mat </a></p>http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/264174611http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/264174611Mon, 30 Nov 2009 20:22:53 -0500<img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktsh65qVnl1qz4f2zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://dropular.net/drop/85287/">85287 » Dropular - Media Bookmarking</a></p>http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/259922516http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/259922516Fri, 27 Nov 2009 17:30:04 -0500<img src="http://23.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktr3v6fk9o1qz4f2zo1_100.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=34621139">twitter stockings</a></p>http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/259534599http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/259534599Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:03:51 -0500<img src="http://17.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktcmk8djYJ1qz4f2zo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://ffffound.com/image/bcbb30d212132df0d40000cd6564d17aeb3303be">FFFFOUND! | Randomness</a></p>http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/249693427http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/249693427Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:02:50 -0500<img src="http://10.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktcf4b3Nrh1qz4f2zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>true wub</p> <p><a href="http://dropular.net/drop/83739/">83739 » Dropular - Media Bookmarking</a></p>http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/249362549http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/249362549Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:24:11 -0500<img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktbffwBZG91qz4f2zo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.exergian.com/"><a href="http://www.exergian.com/">http://www.exergian.com/</a></a></p>http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/248624293http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/248624293Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:33:31 -0500<img src="http://1.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktaov7T0zg1qz4f2zo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=260506735438&Category=38097&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D1&#ht_500wt_1182">Sword “Gods of the Earth” Ludwig Drumkit - eBay </a></p> <p>You can’t possibly call yourself a fan of The Sword and not be at least <i>tempted</i> to buy the drumkit that “Gods of the Earth” was recorded with.</p>http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/248602996http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/248602996Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:06:47 -0500“We must remember that any oppression, any injustice, any hatred, is a wedge designed to attack our civilization.”<br/><br/> - <em><p><b>Franklin D.
