A campaign by Think Progress to demonize and marginalize the Koch brothers has jumped the shark. No, I’m not referring to the cretin who posted a comment here calling me a “Koch whore.” No, I’m not referring to the theft of David Koch’s identity by a...

There are some topics I only want to cover once: President Obama being elected, Nancy Pelosi being named Speaker of the House, etc. etc. There are some topics, however, that I can’t get enough of reading about, and insane conspiracy theories involving Israeli trained attack...
