• • • Pre-Veep-Debate Quiz: Paul Ryan in Ayn Randian Mode, or the Worst Roommate Ever? 
Alyssa Bereznak, Vanity Fair - VF Daily Atlas Shrugged  |Individualism  |Paul Ryan  | At tonight’s vice-presidential debate, we’re getting up close and personal with Mitt Romney’s running mate,Paul Ryan, about whom we already know the following: his iPod includes music from AC/DC and Led Zeppelin, he is not so good at metaphors, and he’s a fan of Ayn Rand—the Atlas Shrugged author who often wore a money pin on her lapel unironically.

As a former Randian ourselves, we will warn you that high Rand-disciple aphorisms are often best displayed in real life by horrible roommates who may have never even read the author. Take our quiz involving everyday social scenarios, and tell us if it sounds like Paul Ryan as motivated by Rand or an exceptionally arrogant housemate.   Published: 2012-10-11
