				When I was a senior in high school, I found out you could win $10,000 if you wrote an essay about Ayn Rand's <em>The Fountainhead</em>. It sounded like a sweet deal to me &mdash; until I actually read the thing. Turned out this foundational text of objectivism was a sorry mix of bad writing, lookism, and didactic storytelling, all meant to show that we should only care about ourselves. It was basically the antithesis of everything I believed (and believe) in, so I couldn't bring myself to write the essay. Then, about eight months ago, I found out at that my new boyfriend had been the winner of <em>that very contest</em>. He swore he only did it for the money, and we're still together so I must believe him, but it still keeps me up at night &mdash; and it would certainly keep me from trolling <a href="http://www.theatlasphere.com/">The Atlasphere</a>, a new dating site for objectivists.				<a href="http://jezebel.com/5093900/mamas-dont-let-your-daughters-date-objectivists" title="Click here to read more about Mamas, Don't Let Your Daughters Date Objectivists">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

<p class="small">People often wonder what the fallout of a Crap Email is like. We don't often know! <a href="http://jezebel.com/338682/youre-not-carly-simon-and-im-no-joe-dirt-you-cant-say-there-was-never-nothing-++-you-cant-tell-me-you-never-hurt">This guy</a> contacted us once, thinking his ex-girlfriend had changed her name to Anna Holmes, even though her name was not Anna; when he finally figured out the deal he good-naturedly defended his doghouse-building skills and retreated back into his proverbial own. Truthfully, he seemed really nice, and I felt a little bad. The same cannot be said for "Christopher Davis," the Ayn Rand prostrating author of last week's <a href="http://jezebel.com/5020396/i-am-right-now-involved-in-something-more-important">"I Am, Right Now, Involved In Something More Important,"</a> which many of you felt to be the Douchiest Email Of All Time. Here is definitive proof it was not! A tale told in two parts: one note sent to his ex girlfriend after discovering his Crap Email on our site, one sent to us. (And yes, I bought Ayn Rand's journals last weekend and have been crafting a primer on why she is to be avoided. Although that will seem rather unnecessary in a moment.)</p>				<a href="http://jezebel.com/5022033/i-could-be-writing-to-tell-you-your-feature-is-tasteless-promotes-sexism-and-secures-its-readership-by-offering-slanderous-and-sensationalized-accounts" title="Click here to read more about &quot;I Could Be Writing To Tell You Your Feature Is Tasteless, Promotes Sexism, And Secures Its Readership By Offering Slanderous And Sensationalized Accounts…&quot;">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				As I watched the parade of Russian-spies-from-the-future-walk down the runway for Chanel couture — "watched", of course, meaning, looked at photos — it occurred to me that only one writer's granite-hewed, pro-Capitalist prose would do.  And so, I give you Herr Karl Lagerfeld's vision for the future...in the words of Ayn Rand.

The media can make it seem like the life of soldiers is all big, <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article_print/SB117529704337355155.html">grave</a>, life-and-death, torture-or-be-annihilated-by-extremists Human Condition-like decisions that folks like us (paper? plastic? cage-free??) couldn't possibly comprehend.  But apparently, the media <em>they</em> get to watch doesn't see it that way! In today's <em>Journal</em>, a reporter watches the 15 minutes of public service announcements created by the Armed Forces Network to supplant the advertising they're not allowed to air; a "melange of messages that can seem out of sync with a military at war."				<a href="http://jezebel.com/249184/marines-theyre-just-like-us-or-at-least-the-guy-in-charge-of-their-tv-programming-is-just-like-bonnie-fuller" title="Click here to read more about Marines!
