Am I a Bad Objectivist?

admin — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 16:23:33 +0000

by Tara Overzat “Years later she considered herself an authority on propaganda, based on her university experience,” wrote Jennifer Burns in her well-researched Ayn Rand biography “Goddess of the Market.” (p. 16) I have long told friends that The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged should be viewed as fables – not in that they are untrue, [...]

Charlie Sheen’s Women

admin — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 16:54:34 +0000

By Tara Overzat I sincerely wish NBC had had more gumption and decided against interviewing Charlie Sheen, seemingly legitimizing ABC and CNN’s Piers Morgan to follow with their own interviews. I expect that sort of behavior from smaller outlets (small or medium-sized radio shows, where Sheen first ranted for instance) but not from well-established networks. [...]

By Tara Overzat “He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” ~Friedrich Nietzsche, as quoted by Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl in Man’s Search for Meaning The more I think about life, the more people I meet, the more things I experience, the more this idea makes sense to [...]

What the Heck, Rick Sanchez?

admin — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 17:29:22 +0000

By Tara Overzat I moved to South Florida in 1991. Being an eight-year-old I missed any chance of hearing that Rick Sanchez hit and paralyzed a man, Jeffrey Smuzinick, and fled the scene blowing a 0.15 blood alcohol level over an hour later. Granted, Smuzinick was reportedly intoxicated himself and stepped out in front of [...]
