According to George Will, writing in the Post-Bulletin, annual sales of Atlas Shrugged have tripled since President Obama took office.  Why?  Perhaps it's because the world is finally waking up to the truth that allowing government to take over private businesses is a very bad idea.

Okay, I have to say it:   DUH!

According to the Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” sold more than 500,000 copies in 2009, more than double the previous record set in 2008, reports Penguin USA, publisher of the four American editions. For the first time, combined annual sales of Ayn Rand’s four novels totaled more than 1,000,000 copies.

For those of you that are having trouble following the plot, I just came across this fabulous timeline from the Atlas Society.
