9/16: "I'm going to say these lines like they're pieces of food I don't want in my mouth."

-In Gender in Early Modern Europe this morning, Hector had a big paperback copy of Atlas Shrugged on the desk in front of him on top of the class books. Who does that? Only someone who likes Ayn Rand, I guess. Then Carol Pal, our glamourous Canadian visiting professor and general constant ray of light said, "Before I start, Hector, will you please take Atlas Shrugged off the desk. I hate that book. Ayn Rand is such a fascist." I started clapping uncontrollably, and everyone joined in. Ahhh!
