Today on the show: Objecting to Objectivism
http://atheistexperience.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 08/ today-on-show-objectivism.htmlSo last month, while preparing for a show on "Foolish Atheists," I suggested three groups associated with atheism that might fit the bill: Communists, Raelians, and Objectivists.

http://rationaljenn.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 08/ neato-stuff.htmlPaul has a link to a quiz that was lots of fun to take. Can you name the 100 most common words in the English language?

Ayn Rand on the Welfare State
