When it was useful to them

When it was useful to them the Koch Bros touted the benefits of social security.See the Oct 11 Nation.

In 1973 Charles Koch wanted to hire Friedrich Hayek (Road to Serfdom). He sensibly, afraid of giving up the benefits of Austria's health and retirement programs, turned Koch down. Koch's operatives responded by emphasizing the benefits of social security and Medicare.

Koch himself wrote to Hayek saying " In order to be eligible for medical coverage you must apply during the registration perod ....etc.etc.". So social security and medicare are scorned by the K's except when they are useful to them.

When I started blogging I was not ashamed to discuss my attire.

PJ's were my main choice of attire; although I did not reside in mumsy's basement. hahahha

So Rachel had just began her own show and during one segment put up videos of conservative bastards screaming at the liberal bloggers. We were all in PJ's living in mother's basement.

Lo and behold she stood up from behind her desk and she was wearing pajama bottoms--the same design I had on.

I could not stop laughing. hahahahahahahah

If anyone knows how to "Man Up," it would be Rachel Maddow.

Yeah, I get a sense that

In reply to Excellent! I agree/ That

Yeah, I get a sense that she's a real "decent" person, which is not often the case. I like how she approaches a story and how she explains it. Her show should be required viewing. Common sense stuff. Though the stuff she tackles usually leaves me with a stomach ache because it's never that stuff that's 'easily fixed', you know. It's that stuff that makes you groan and wonder if it CAN be fixed.

At any rate, I thought that particular show was not only spot on, but I seriously couldn't believe I was seeing someone on TV, (live!) take on the Koch Bros.

Seriously big cahones that one has! ;)

It is always politically

Excellent! I agree/ That piece she did calling out the Koch brothers deserves a BIG shout out!

Talking about two very corrupt and super greedy people among the 1%.

Rachel Maddow is on it!

I hope it's politically

I hope it's politically correct to laugh at this piece, because I did. Bring it on in, Jeni.
