Oh, irony. It tastes so good any time of day... College for Ayn Rand Devotees Closes Due to Financial Problemsand, from The Chronicle of Higher Education, a more in-depth and funny-but-sad description of the whole fiasco... Quote: However, not all of the students who would end up at Founders knew that. English Tong, who was home-schooled, found out about the college through a friend who had heard Mr. Hull promote Founders as ideal for home-schoolers. "Not until I arrived did I realize it was an objectivist school, so I was thrown into that without really agreeing with it," Ms. Tong says. "It was kind of weird. They had advertised the college to everyone differently."

He was a two-trick pony: Ron Paul and giant food. Remember that veggie burger that was as big as manhole cover?

I never got to read his Ron Paul rants. I just remember his subnick being "the ron paul guy" and a giant veggie burger, oh and one thread titled "Hello, socialism" that inspired multiple fake profiles.

He also had a thread where he tried to rehydrate banana chips, failing to realize that they had been fried.
But he had P personality.
