A group of fellow Bunkervites went and caught the film “Atlas Shrugged” last night. When I caught this post, I had the distinct feeling that the good folks on at MSNBC had not read the book, or are aware of the impact she has had on so many lives. A Library of Congress reader’s poll ranked Atlas Shrugged as the second most influential book of all time next to the Bible. Other prominent reader polls of Best Novels ever written have listed Atlas Shrugged as #1. It’s a 1000+ page classic epic packed with action, philosophy, adventure, politics, romance, mystery, and a whole lot of attitude. I would not rank it as the best film of all time.

If you are interested in finding out about John Galt, it is worth your time to see the flick, and at the same time support brave and daring individuals willing to make it.

That’s the deductive logic David Cay Johnston, the 2001 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for beat reporting, displayed on MSNBC’s “The ED Show” Monday night.
