Comments on: Ayn Rand’s ODE http://www.oregoncommentator.com/2007/07/02/ayn-rands-ode/ Free Minds, Free Markets, Free Booze Tue, 07 Oct 2008 05:51:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: T http://www.oregoncommentator.com/2007/07/02/ayn-rands-ode/#comment-95117 T Thu, 12 Jul 2007 23:49:45 +0000 http://www.oregoncommentator.com/2007/07/02/ayn-rands-ode/#comment-95117 No, what I received was spam, and that was embarrassing (all that shit about how Coke should spend money protecting the Polar Bears). These were legitimate letters from a crazy, crazy think tank. But they can be a little like message board trolls -- you don't want to feed them, or they keep coming back. All in all, highly entertaining having two in one paper (I know how hard it is to fill space, and it looks like you only have one columnist ... discounting the freelancer who wrote about how technology is tearing us apart, blah blah blah). When I mention the Emerald, it's all in good fun (as for some of the other guys on here, they have a baffling level of hatred toward the ODE). Anyway, Tapatio indeed.

Those were the first two of a subsequent deluge of crap I received from them, and I was too dumb to realize it was spam. Yeah, this is pretty embarassing in hindsight.

And yes, they did run two letters from the institute on the same day. T: There’s a link to the PDF of the print version on the left column of their website.

But really. It was Tapatio. And that stuff's pretty amazing anyways, even when not held up to a side-by-side comparison of ideas against Ayn Rand.

I would really appreciate it if someone could grab a print copy of the paper to verify that they actually ran two Ayn Rand Institute letters, from different people, on the same day, though.

It's extra funny because it's in an army advertisement. Turn to the back page of today’s Emerald and see if you can spot the glaring error. It’s extra funny because it’s in an army advertisement.
