In anagram news today, it’s been discovered that “Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan” uses the same letters and the same number of letters as “My Ultimate Ayn Rand Porn” – therefore making it a very good anagram.
Ayn Rand was a Russian-American novelist who promoted an idealized free-market capitalism with her books “Atlas Shrugged” and “The Fountainhead.” She was also vastly influential in promoting objectivism. Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney are both corporate shills controlled by donors (and shadowy Ayn Rand-ian figures like the Koch brothers). Paul Ryan in particular is a certified Rand worshipper. So this anagram is just too perfect.
Anagramming is a form of wordplay used by people at dinner parties to appear interesting.

Not terribly objective journalism, but more amusing than people who talk anagrams at parties.
