The Center Of The Show

Koch brothers now at heart of GOP power - Los Angeles Times:

"Reporting from Washington — The billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch no longer sit outside Washington's political establishment, isolated by their uncompromising conservatism. Instead, they are now at the center of Republican power, a change most evident in the new makeup of the House Energy and Commerce Committee..."

I guess this is news for some people, but the Koches have been at the funding center of the Evil Empire since the days of Ronald Raygun. Add in Murdock & Fox and you have the proverbial Axis. (In fairness, there is nonevil conservative thought but if the main aim of your political positions is enriching yourself then that's evil, no matter how hard you wave the flag or how much apple pie you smear on your face.)
