The continued gurglings of irony's death rattle

From the Wall Street Journal, via Digby's Hullaballoo:

Some years ago when I worked at the libertarian Cato Institute, we used to label any new hire who had not yet read "Atlas Shrugged" a "virgin."

Funny, I'd always understood that "virgin" was the accepted term for people who had read Atlas Shrugged.

There has to be a Rocky Horror Picture Show midnight-show joke in here somewhere.

I'm just going to assume that the Venn diagram of Cato Institute employees and Rocky Horror fans resembles an 8.

i remember reading Atlas Shrugged what i -was- a virgin and i'm fairly sure it accelerated me toward reversing that state and therefore never becoming like that scary woman.
