Sears closes its last department in Illinois, its home state

What I absolutely hate is that Eddie Lampert basically ran K-MART into the ground, went bankrupt, then bought sears to screw it over too somehow. He is responsible, personally, for destroying two really, really large chunks of Americana. Not only are the businesses too far gone to save at this point, but the brands are probably too far gone too. And the sad thing is, had he not doubled down, the businesses probably could have been saved up until probably 2015 or so. But he destroyed everything he touched.

I really, really wish that all the Ayn Randites could just understand that she is a dismal failure, her ideas are stupid, anyone who follows her ideas are stupid, and that they just need to give it up. At the very least, the rest of us need to understand this: her brand of libertarianism is just plain wrong.

Goes double for Rand Paul.
