Pretty funny: "Atlas Shrugged Updated for the Current Financial Crisis". Speaking of Atlas Shrugged and the current problems, here's the dastardly Jim Taggart speaking (p. 843 of the Centennial Edition):

We couldn't permit a railroad like Taggart Transcontinental to crash! It would have been a national catastrophe! We had to think of all the cities and industries and shippers and passengers and employees and stockholders whose lives depend on us! It wasn't just for us, it was for the public welfare! Sound familiar?
