    A right-winger attempting to portray William Shakespeare as their ally in their culture wars? Sure. Everybody always does. Even Hitler staged Shakespeare.

    Defining your enemy as the enemy of Shakespeare is a cheap trick. No one who loves Shakespeare will fall for it.

    Letter from Ayn Rand to Monroe Shakespeare, manufacturer of fishing tackle, Oct 10th 1943

    "...look at how your name is working. This is a greater magic than William Shakespeare ever worked. (I never cared much for him anyway. From now on my first Shakespeare is Monroe.)"

    There are times when I wish I had Dante’s talent. This is one of them.
