This just out today from Exiled Online: Paul Ryan's Guru Ayn Rand Worshipped A Serial Killer Who Kidnapped and Dismembered Little Girls (August 11, 2012, by Mark Ames)
To celebrate today's announcement that Ayn Rand fanboy Paul Ryan will in a few months' time be a heartbeat from the presidency--and to honor this special moment, marking the final syphilitic pus-spasms of America's decline and fall-we are reposting for your edification Mark Ames' 2010 article about the man behind the Rand: Ayn Rand's unrequited adoration of a notorious serial killer, William Edward Hickman. Yes, Vice President-to-be Paul Ryan owes his entire "moral" worldview to a lowly groupie of serial killers, a 1920′s prototype of today's "Joker" wannabees. Yes folks, in a few months' time Americans will finally be able to stand up and declare: "We are all serial-killer groupies now."


If you are not convinced, try it on someone who has not been entirely debauched by economics. — Piero Sraffa
