This will make you throw up. Turns out the real victims are the poor Koch brothers.

"In this article one finds the purest and most instructive expression of billionaire self-pity that I think I've ever seen -- one that is as self-absorbed and detached from reality as it destructive. It's really worth examining their revealed mindset to see how those who wield the greatest financial power (and thus the greatest political power) think of themselves and those who are outside of their class."

Hell, they obviously have no class.

1. Yes. That's an amazing article in the Weekly Standard. Here's a link to my post on it:

I hope everyone here reads Continetti's article. I also mentioned what Politico said about Continetti having been the recipient of a fellowship from a Koch-funded foundation.

3. You know about Aunty Ilse right?

Ilse Koch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org
Ilse Koch, born Ilse K�hler (September 22, 1906, Dresden, Kingdom of Saxony � September 1, 1967), was the wife of Karl Koch, the commandant of the concentration camps Buchenwald from 1937 to 1941 and Majdanek from 1941 to 1943. She was one of the first prominent Nazis to be tried by the US military.

My brother is an actor and in 1975, the first movie he was in was called

"Ilse, She Wolf of the Nazis!!"
He said it was dreadful, but I think it should be re-released!!
There was a dreadful sequel too. Ha Ha

so much they can't buy up resources. Because if Koch industries takes over assets in a state for instance, much of their profit will go to undo unions and the like. Glad people know it.
