Oh Lord help us all.
There are rumors that the evil Koch brothers, Charles and David, might buy the L.A. Times. Just having one libertarian-ish print rag on the west coast was enough to send The Great Herd Of Independent Minds into a frenzy.
David Koch ran for Vice-President on the Libertarian Party ticket in 1980. The platform he advocated included ending the Drug War (a war which the L.A. Times supports, BTW), recognizing marriage equality, eliminating businesskickbacks subsidies, and all the other planks of the Libertarian platform that have been solidly in place since about 1971.
The evil Koch brothers donated something like $20 million dollars to the ACLU to fight George Bush's Patriot Act. I have a deep admiration for activist Radley Balko, who is partly funded by the Koch bro's. Balko spends his days getting wrongly convicted death-row inmates released from Barack's jails, and fighting the Random Conviction Generator that is my home state of Mississippi's "criminal justice" system.
Remember that. Now, get up. Make some popcorn. Come back. Hit play. The folks from :40 through :59 are absolutely priceless.
And when you're finished, help me promote the idea of the Koch brothers purchasing the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. I promise to re-subscribe.
