Russ, Eloquent As Always

Russ and I received a particularly amusing email from a reader who spent close to 500 words explaining why giving away outlines is "un-American". The joke was obviously lost on this poor soul, and I told him as much. He fired back that he knew it was a joke, and then proceeded to rehash all his arguments again. (If he knew it was a joke, why is he arguing it?) Then he told us to read "Atlas Shrugged" because "it will change change your life", which is coincidently a quote from one of the annoying "People You Meet at Law School". That led to this exchange between Russ and I:

Me: I don't understand why these idiots feel the need to argue about something that isn't even at dispute, and then quote shit from Ayn Rand.

Russ: Some people live life to tickle their own asshole with the pink feather of intellectualism.
