Byzantium's Shores: chronicling the misadventures of an overalls-clad hippie

Steven Den Beste recently shooed a cadre of Ayn Rand cultists from his virtual doorstep, saying that he found the question "Have you ever read Ayn Rand?" to be equivalent, in some ways, to the question, "Have you spoken to Jesus lately?" I couldn't agree with him more; I have always found Rand's devotees to be a fairly scary bunch. Anyway, a good resource for people whose reaction to Objectivism (the fancy-schmancy name for Rand's philosophical ideas) is to think "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" can be found here.
