Not by the sound of it, fortunately.

Re: NYmag shoots fish in a barrel (none / 1)

Well, Alan Greenspan was notoriously a disciple of Ayn Rand and, while married twice, there is no mention of children in his Wiki bio. So he remains a viable candidate for a Darwin even at this late date. Who is the most prestigious nominator available? Paul Krugman?

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
