Vladamir Putin: “If you get [permission], then go out and demonstrate,” Mr. Putin said in a newspaper interview Monday. “If not, you do not have the right. If you go out without having the right – you are going to get beaten with a club. It’s as simple as that.”

Ken Jennings: “My Kid has read the Complete Peanuts from 1950 to 1976” — and thus has a wobbly sense of the present.

William F. Buckley once referred to Rand’s “objectivism” as a “dessicated philosophy,” then-editor Russell Kirk called it an “inverted philosophy,” and Gary Wills referred to John Galt as the embodiment of liberalism’s desire to create a perfect society. Responding to these criticisms, Rand called National Review “the worst and most dangerous magazine in America.”
