That's some clever shirt

A reader over at Hit and Run reported the existence of a t-shirt that reads:

"There are 10 types of people who understand binary:

Those who do, and those who don't."

I think that's funny.

Ayn Rand Had Nothing to Do with it, OK?

I am a "classical liberal", a libertarian, or whatever it is. Brilliant, dumb, or neither, but just for the record: Ayn Rand had nothing to do with it, OK? Sentences like this just keep cropping up, though: "Ayn Rand, the Russian émigré novelist and philosopher who inspired more people toward a combined emotional/intellectual commitment to individual liberty than any other figure in the 20th century" or book titles like this: It Usually Begins With Ayn Rand. No, it didn't. Thank you. And "Objectivism" is stupid too.
