If I Remember Correctly, I ...Carlin...class clown? <br />If I Remember Correctly, I believe he preferred- Foole <br />Rand? Pretty good at thinly veiling American History with her "fiction" IMHO.<br />(Atlas Shrugged AND Fountainhead) <br />I couldn't look at the top of the Chrysler building, or work on electrical jobs where Alternating Current vs. Direct Current was important, or even ride the subway/ suburban commuter trains (and THAT whole Edison/Tesla battle) , without thinking of Alas Shrugged.

How ironic was it that I read Rand while I was in the Peace Corps in Afghanistan in the early 70’s?<br /><br />Carlin was a comedic genius who would be under appreciated by today’s Millennials. <br /><br />Thanks for the article, Tom. I enjoyed re-visiting why I became a conservative rather than a progressive decades ago.Kafirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10663195095750630774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-25544765710120812682020-10-08T15:01:34.112-04:002020-10-08T15:01:34.112-04:00The antibody cocktail for Covid-19 that President ...The antibody cocktail for Covid-19 that President Trump touted on Wednesday afternoon was developed with cells originally derived from fetal tissue, a practice that the president had repeatedly condemned.Reality Checknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-6199325416412826092020-10-08T12:22:20.461-04:002020-10-08T12:22:20.461-04:00I loved George Carlin's older performances, bu...I loved George Carlin's older performances, but I saw one of last performances and he was so polarizing that it wasn't entertaining at all. It's too bad that he felt that he could lecture us as entertainment, and we would want to pay for that.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057515457600305336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-84088702627387815362020-10-08T12:20:10.589-04:002020-10-08T12:20:10.589-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057515457600305336noreply@blogger.com
