“By running an electric current through Henry Ford’s corpse, we can create a vortex of rational self-insterest capable of traveling into the future”: Political comedy site and dirty joke repository Wonkette, home of the Cartoon Violence column, has now added a new weekly comic strip to their coverage—Ayn Rand’s Adventures in Wonderland by Benjamin Frisch, who will also be interning with the blogazine thingee.
