Verbal extremism in defense of civil liberties is no vice

Jennifer Abel is an American writer who began her career in print media three minutes before the Internet killed the industry. After starting at a small Connecticut daily she moved to the Hartford Advocate, an alt-weekly where her journalistic coups included infiltrating a Furries convention and working on a phone sex line (which fired her six hours later). Since then she’s written for, or been reprinted in, dozens of print and web outlets, including Playboy, the Guardian, Salon, AlterNet, Mashable, the Daily Dot and pretty much every website with the words "cannabis" or "legalize it" in the title. Once, when she was young and naïve and needed the money, she unwittingly edited SEO copy for a spammer. However, in light of the spambot comments she’s deleted from her own blogs since then, she figures she’s more than repaid that particular karmic debt. Jennifer is currently looking for professional, non-spam writing jobs; interested editors are enthusiastically invited to e-mail her.

And not made such a half-assed blog post, either.
Well, you got 322 comments over at The Guardian - that's not so shabby. At the least, you irritated a bunch of Lefties - British Lefties, too; nothing wrong with that. I thought about registering and commenting over there, but it would have been like sticking one's hand in an ant pile - one wouldn't know which stinging insects to swat first. I can not believe any or many of those commenters over there have actually read Rand's work. If they really have, then their reading comprehension is just abysmal. It's hard to believe anyone reading Rand thinks she would have been in favor of government bailouts and other favors for well-connected fat cats.
But, SASOB, that's the fun of life to stick your hand in an anthill :) I'm going to read over there (sometime...eventually..) and see what's up with it.
PS, what the hell kind of word is "puserebi" as a verification word???

In my life it is usually not my hand but my foot, and usually it is not an anthill but something a good deal squishier. :-)

Hm, Latin perhaps? ;-)
