Well, for the Mom who loves ugly jewelry I guess.

"Children Are Parasites Who Take and Take and Take"

Essentially my words to my daughter on Saturday. She didn't find that as amusing as I did.

Gifts? How altruistic.

Song for If Your Mom's a Big Ayn Rand Fan

M is for the Money that she hoarded
O is for her Objectivistic slant
T is for the Times that she ignored you
H is for how you Hated all her cant
E is for her Egotistic worldview
R is for each stupid Randian thought
Put that all together, it spells M-O-T-H-E-R...
A word that makes you wish she'd just go Galt.

THAT MOVIE IS SO FUNNY!!! I laughed so hard at so many different scenes, and then I realized it wasn't a comedy!!!

Well, it is true, about children being parasites. I'm Louis C.K. on this one, up until a kid in his late 20s, they have never made any contribution to society.

I like kids and all, but they are selfish little resource vacuums. Damn near every one of em thinks that they are the star of their own movie...

Joe My God linked to Chris Ware's lovely "Mothers' Day" cover art and story in the New Yorker. Kids are much too expensive for me to bother with, but I admire everyone who takes on the challenge so gladly.

@4 Sweet. But needz moar vicious.

Many have pointed out that Rand's protagonists either don't have families or have heroically chosen to cut off all ties with their families. They certainly don't concern themselves with anything as mundane as caring for children, and they wouldn't be caught dead admitting that their own parents contributed anything to make them what they are.

They sprang into being as fully-realized Makers, and everybody else in the world did nothing but try to hold them back. See also "narcissistic worldview."

Giving gifts to your mother will only weaken her.

Real Ayn Randers will force their moms onto Social Security and Medicare, since Ayn Rand used those too.

Take and take and take and never give back!

How can it be made from 'Rearden Steel'? Isn't that the fictional alloy from the book?
How gullible are Rand fanatics, anyway? Oh, wait, don't answer that.
