Greenspan and Rand

I'm not, and have never been, an Ayn Rand fan.  So, I really loved this bit, from Andrew Ferguson's review of Alan Greenspan's new book ("The Age of Turbulence") in The Weekly Standard:

Her creepy philosophy of objectivism, placing the self at the center of the moral universe, was being enthusastically embraced, as it still is, by tens of thousands of pimply teenage boys in the dreamy moments between fits of social insecurity and furious bouts of masturbat***.

Heh.  (If you are an Ayn Rand fan, please don't write me to complain.  Same goes for Rush fans.  "The Trees" is pretentious and silly.)
