ego

My interest du jour is a study of the history of the conservative movement, beginning with the writings of Ayn Rand and moving through the Goldwater campaign of 1964 and into the rise of Reaganism.

I just finished "Anthem" on the train to work today and have been giving myself a history booster shot by re-listening to a few of Dr. Jennifer Burns' lectures from UC Berkeley.

Perhaps the impetus for this fascination lay in my viewing of the Alan Greenspan media blitz as of late?

If I can peel myself away from the television, I'll attempt to tackle "Atlas Shrugged" next.

(And yes, I still self-identify as a liberal.)
