Do you plan to be here after the “rapture”? Well, every Sunday I conduct a live webcast in which I discuss news and politics from the perspective of Ayn Rand’s philosophy, Objectivism. This Sunday, if you are still here, you are welcome to join in, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., PST.
If you join in live, you’ll have the ability to communicate with me via text chat and also via audio either by using a USB mic connected to your computer (VoIP) or by phone. Click here to register.
You can use this thread to suggest topics or ask questions you’d like to hear discussed. Here are the topics that have been on my radar so far this week: When Obama promised more “transparency” did he mean that our personal lives should be more “transparent” to him? Should Newt Gingrich just switch parties and be done with it? What should we do about Pakistan?
What has gotten your attention this week?
[Update: Given what Obama said about Israel, is Ron Paul’s non-interventionism looking better all the time?]
Don't Let It Go 
Dear Dr. Peikoff,
A despicable comment at Cannes festival has caught my attention and ire. The Danish director Lars Von Trier “jokingly’ declared he’s a Nazi. I found the article at Yahoo movies. Quite possibly he’s a nobody. Or quite possibly he and most of Europe have not learned anything from WWII.
The Cannes is an international festival with influence throughout the film industry. He’s an idiotic ass for using it in such a rotten way.
I assume you saw the John Galliano clip?
