Politics: Ernie Fletcher's favorite books: the Bible and Atlas Shrugged

Blogging philosophy-guru Ben over at BlueGrassRoots writes how KY Governor Ernie Fletcher's favorite books are the Christian Holy Text and Ayn Rand's pseudoliterary thesis on rational self-interest.

I could try to say something literary and intelligent here, but I'm too baffled that any semi-intelligent human being could say that an Ayn Rand was among his favorites.

Sure, plenty of people do say that they love Ayn Rand. But most of them turn seventeen and get over it, and move on to stuff that isn't ideologically bloated and devoid of any real character development. Like, Dr. Seuss, maybe.
