Did you notice America’s Greatest Victim getting the NYT “we’re sorry” treatment in Saturday’s paper? Poor little rich boy David Koch is super sad about how the mean poor/working people are upset because he’s funding and directing the destruction of government unions nationwide. This makes him feel bad! And even though the deeply secretive David Koch never does an interview, the New York Times somehow managed to get him to speak, on the occasion of David Koch being honored for giving millions of dollars to a cancer research center, because he has cancer and wants to cure his own cancer, even though he owns an evil forestry empire that insists formaldehyde (a carcinogen) is not a carcinogen. See, when poor people get cancer, it’s because they suck. And when rich people who exploit nature and humanity get cancer, it’s time to send $100 million to some little people who can maybe take care of the problem.
Mr. Koch joked that the call could cause him problems. “I was thinking to myself, ‘My God, if I called up a senator or a congressman to discuss something with them, and they heard ‘David Koch is on the line,’ they’d immediately say, ‘That’s that fraud again — tell him to get lost!’ ” he said with a laugh
Mr. Koch said that only a relatively small portion of his giving goes to politics and public policy — most, he said, goes to cancer research, followed by cultural and educational institutions ….
“I read stuff about me and I say, ‘God, I’m a terrible guy,’ ” he said. “And then I come here and everybody treats me like I’m a wonderful fellow, and I say, ‘Well, maybe I’m not so bad after all.’ ”
Ha ha, wait … no, yeah, you are so bad, after all.
Thanks, NYT, for finally standing up for the little guy! Honestly, this whole article is a reach-around for David Koch.
PEOPLE OF NEW YORK: Go pry all the KOCH names off the fountains and theaters and library and everything. For America. If you do this every day forever, the arts foundations and library and other non-profits dependent on these robber barons may eventually close the door on these same robber barons who have funded the strangulation of public arts spending.

The only upbeat part of that article is that David Koch has cancer. Everything else is just Koch-sucking.
Lets see: Uncontrolled growth of wealth and political power while shutting down healthy organizations for his personal benefit…
Koch the King Midas of cancer.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
I bet he cries himself to sleep on his cold, hard bed of gold bars, comforted only by the large fake breasts of two dozen concubines.
..most likely comforted by the soft supple ballsacks of two dozen pre-teen male sex slaves from Costa Rica.
Or the scrotums of endangered pygmy rhinos cunningly fashioned to resemble the ballsacks of said Costa-Ricans and/or the fake breasts of concubines.
Why indulge without committing some other crime against humanity and the planet?
But he is donating to help fund a cure for cancer, which will help those cancer sufferers who have health insurance, once he's crushed the unions.
So I wish him well (not Koch, but Dave, that's the name I give his cancer).
Your post gave me a throbbing hard on. Am I a bad person?
So if you donate enough money to M.I.T. then their research department will testify that coal ash is cotton candy? Sic em Ken.
This habit of buying the results you want is an old one. I was told years ago that one of the chemical companies (Allied, Hooker, Velsicol aka Michigan Chemical, Dow maybe? Somebody'll have a link) gave Harvard Medical oodles of money to study cancer causation– on the grounds that they only investigate viral causes– no need to look into environmental (i.e., chemical) causes for cancer, despite the growing number of "cancer alleys" in states with old chemical plants.
Step One: buy the results you want
Step Two: use those results to shape the argument for the next thirty years.
Kind of funny/sad if he has cancer up his ass now.
Don't you love it when Ken's on a tear?
Scott Walker is a Koch whore.
no, he is a koch sucker!
Not to mention, a clone of Pedobear

I'm really sorry about his prostate cancer. I hope that it doesn't spread to his anus. If he has to have an asshole transplant, he will be the first person to have the transplant reject the donee.
Scott Walker is a big asshole so we have found the donee.
Well he's already paid for.
Trust me, the mother ship is one big asshole, calling Scott Walker home.
This is very late to be inserting my fist upwards, but I remembered this comment and its correct use of "donee", and it has taken me some small time to find it.
Oh, and the whole concept is fucking brilliant.
"The good news is, I've found a cure for cancer. The bad news is that I also successfully lobbied to take away your health insurance which might have allowed you access to it."
Be still my little heart…my google alert went crazy-a-bonkers: "Koch, cancer, photo of liver bile coming out of that sack-of-shit's mouth " But sadly, it's just a read about NYT sucking Koch's kock.
These Kochs must have arrived on Earth in the waste control section of that fucking meteor.
Boohoo. Grow a pair, fuckwit.
David should believe everythng he reads about himself. You are a terrible guy and would it be too much to hope that your cancer is painful.
When I saw this article online earlier I though that it was odd that there were two really rich guys with the same name, one of whom is a dedicated philanthropist bravely fighting a dread disease and profiled by the Times while the other is a scum sucking weasel capitalist with the blood of working men and women on his hands.
Imagine my surprise when I realized they were the same guy–which almost slid right by the Times.
"I'll see you two, Mr. Koch, and raise you tumor…"
"This is Koch."
"Oh, hello sir, it is a great honor."
"Do you like speaking to me?"
"Why yes, of course sir."
"So you like speaking to Koch?"
"Yes sir. What can I do for you?"
"Homo says what?"
"What?"
"Baba-Boey, Baba-Boey."
"Of course sir I'll get right on it."
If the New York Times wanted to shit on the conventional wisdom, they could have just written an article about how great the Oscars were. Instead they decided to say Emperor Palpatine is awesome because the Death Star has a research lab.
I signed up just to say "ha" to this.
Ha!
Easily one of the best comments of this short year, thus far. And, not becaue I'm a Star Wars geek, either.
I have to tell you I am happy to see I am not the only person checking in on Wonkette at 1:35AM on a Sunday morning.
And the other Wonkateers who got laid last night will be in tomorrow to add to our comments. Just kidding! None of us got laid.
Pictures or it didn't happen.
We had "friends" over for supper who ate all our food and drank all our wine, then handed us a bill for their "services." No, they weren't named Koch.
Wait…explain this…even as an occasional reader of "Ask Amy" and "Miss Manners," I find myself asking how human beings could act with such chutzpah.
They're Republicans. We try to be open minded.
Some of us were just too passed-out drunk to think to check Wonkette. Or actually busy playing Fallout: New Vegas but think saying we were too drunk sounds cooler.
Two words, JMP…morning sex. Nah, no ones buying that one either. Stayed up way too late playing video poker. I remember hearing Myley Cyrus' voice and asking Jeff to "make it stop" I guess they let her host SNL.
Wanna go see Rango with me today?
After having a miserable night on CoD: Black Ops, I spent the rest of my evening watching documentaries on Netflix streaming. Beer Wars was awesome.
I live in Guam, and I think you are all huge losers.
Eleven years of touring doing standup and the week I was booked in Guam at the Hilton was the best ever! I loved that place.
Wait … did you open with, "I just flew in from Honolulu and boy are my arms tired?"
The flight from San Francisco to Hawaii was almost empty so I figured the one to Guam would be the same. Who knew? It was like a Mexican bus trip – I expected to find chicken crates tied to the roof and people milking goats in the aisle.
Yes, we are all huge losers. I still can't get the Guam National Anthem out of my head after it being played over and over again in the last Olympic competition.
Ha ha, I've been to Guam.
Where the hell were YOU last night? I couldn't find anything that rhymed with "Guam" and I thought my head was going to burst.
As Chicago is now ruled by the 9½ fingered Rahm
I heard Mid-West politeness has moved to Guam…
Living in the “real” (non-Guamanian) world.
Try finding something to rhyme with V572625694.
It would be inhumane to publicly rejoice at the news that a fellow human being has cancer.
I will therefore rejoice only in private.
I was going to say that as well, but I was too busy dancing.
David Koch is such a dick that any type of cancer he gets is, by definition, prostate cancer.
"I read stuff about me and say, 'God, I really am a soulless parasite.' Then I come here and wave 10 million bucks around and, hey, everybody treats me like a wonderful fellow, and I say, 'maybe I'm not such a face-fucking demon wraith after all.' Then I'm all like, nah…"
Sometimes i am grateful for the limitations of technology. One of those limitations is that we'll never be able to outsource cancer such that an afflicted rich person could pay a healthy poor person to have his or her cancer instead. Because you KNOW this guy would throw a few million to a couple of working-class stiffs to suffer and die.
Although you could argue that a whole lot of live patient medical testing in the 20th cdentury was an attempt at just that. Tuskegee, I'm looking at you.
Millionaires might buy their friends, but billionaires can buy the paper that those friends read, too.
I'm rooting for Team Cancer in this game.
Shorter NYT: Dead Hand of Josef Stalin Not So Bad.
Most people trying to buy their way into an afterlife try to go for Heaven.
It's kind of like when you're walking around thinking "Gosh I'm a repulsive disgusting shrivel-dicked stinkypants," but then you pay some whore to gargle your testicles so you can tell yourself, "You know what? I'm a great person. People love me."
And that's why we call them Teabaggers.
How will Scott Walker react to the news that the guy who has his hand up his ass telling him what to do has in turn someone in his ass telling him he has prostate cancer? Some puppet master Koch is!
Wheels within wheels!
He reminds me of some guy in a 50's ad promoting something completely toxic as safe and non-toxic:
"You may have heard someone–your neighbor, your friend, even your high school science teacher describe formaldehyde as a cancer-causing substance. I'm here to tell you that's a bunch of baloney. Formaldehyde is as safe as tap water!" [takes a swig]
"No! Look, we put a label on every bag that says, "Kid! Be careful – broken glass!" I mean, we sell a lot of products in the "Bag O'" line.. like Bag O' Glass, Bag O' Nails, Bag O' Bugs, Bag O' Vipers, Bag O' Sulfuric Acid. They're decent toys, you know what I mean?"
…From the makers of Happy Fun Koch®!
Sorta like this?

Dear Prince Ronnie Huff 'n Puff
I guess we should look for full-page ads from their respective industries in the days to come.
To quote Jay: "THEY LOVE THE KOCH!"
Anyone else kind of feel bad for the cancer having to be around David Koch?
I always used to say, "there's nothing funning about cancer." Until now.
So, another one like Millken. Oh fuck, I have cancer, here's bundles and bundles of money — fix my particular cancer, pleeeeze.
Not to mention "People think I'm a bad guy, Times newspeoples, here's moneys to keep your rag afloat, now make me look good."
Dear WonkPo Pun Ditz:
Does "Koch" rhyme with "coke", as both Koch brothers prefer?
Does "Koch" rhyme with "cock", as most Koch commenters prefer?
Does "Koch" rhyme with "crotch", as Ed Koch supporters prefer?
Sincerely,
John Boehner
"All of the above whenever necessary!"
–Ted Haggard
"Coke", "Cock", "Crotch".
Gaddafi, Kadafi, Qaddafi.
Spanky2b, StenchofLiburls, Stench_of_Liberalism.
Different names, same asshole.
Clearly rhymes with asshole
Koch (cock) is German for "cook," as in, "Please cook up a bag of lightly-salted cancerous rat dicks for Koch."
It rhymes with Koch, as in Ilse Koch, the "Beast of Buchenwald."
Tthe proper German pronunciation: Cock – as in Ilse and Karl Koch. The current Kochs are related to that couple and and Erich Koch who ran Prussia for Hitler while Ilse (the Bitch of Buchenwald) and Karl ran Concentration Camps where they tanned and framed Jewish tattooed skin samples and shrank heads.
So what the hell do you expect out of that set of Genes? The Ghandi Brothers?
Perhaps the "prostate tumor" is just Scott Walker all the way up Koch's ass.
Yeah tear off those name because if there is one thing that the world needs, is less people giving hundreds of millions for cancer research.
I'm sorry but you folks have become parodies of yourself
Dear Teabag Troll. We're happy meester Koch is giving some of his billions to cancer research instead of his usual global warming lovin', union bustin', big insurance savin', Freedom Works sponsorin' right wing "hobbies". Just pointing out how he's all about taking care of #1. Well those things and dinosaurs.. but then they gave him his oil.
If he were suffering from Heart Disease, I might be tempted to agree with you, Tech. Giving a tiny portion of your accumulated wealth to help fight your own disease, notsomuch; especially if the person in question is a polluting, elitist, anti-middle class douche.
Thank you for tearing yourself away from whichever Breitbart website you were on, no doubt extolling the virtues of President Obama for vigorously prosecuting the war in Afghanistan and combating illegal immigration, all while cutting taxes, and of philanthropist George Soros, whose Open Society Institutes probably did more to bring down the Soviet Union than Ronald Reagan ever did, to come to our humble Wonkette to point out that there’s nothing ironic about a guy who built a fortune hawking carcinogens and defined himself trying to ensure most Americans don’t have health insurance publicly donating a pittance to cancer research.
Note to self: For a p-explosion, go to a right-wing website and say "The lamestream media is unfair to Sarah Palin."
What's interesting is you see our snark as self-parody.
Yet you are unable to see the irony in a man spending millions to say "this carcinogen is no carcinogen" while donating money to cancer research.
Just please go away and play with your own kind. Somewhere where the rest of us don't have to tolerate your lack of thought or your hatred for your fellow man.
Where is the hatred thing coming from? I don't know you or any of the people here? Why should I hate any of you?
I just think you're very very wrong on this topic and other and a lot of the people here are kinda angry. I see it a lot on the left when I cover events and it's really amazing to see how people kind of lose it .
But hey its a free country, you've got to get it out of your system somehow and it makes for good fodder for the blog and the radio show so I should be grateful.
And BTW as an American, in America, you are all "my kind" even Yankee Fans.
ROTFLMAO
Where is the hatred thing coming from?
Morons that post here just to troll because their lives clearly have no meaning outside of being a jerk on a website simply for the sake of being a jerk.
Or was that a rhetorical question?
Dude, blogging isn't reporting nor is AM radio.
Well I think traveling to GA,, NY 22,24,25, PA, VA and Maryland, Being credentialed at CPAC for two years, interviewing congressional candidates, presidential candidates, sub committee chairmen, and voters in person in 6 states plus DC and rallies of both the right and the left might qualify. covering debates, and news conferences and interviewing voters of all sides might count.
And yeah a 50,000 watt station heard in 6 states carrying my show with nationally known bloggers and writers and pols local and national might qualify as well.
But that's just me.
Hatred? Do you want to see hatred? Try signing on to one of your usual Breitbart sites and writing something like "Ronald Reagan raised taxes 7 of his 8 years as President" or "In my opinion, Sarah Palin just loves publicity as is unqualified to lead this country". Go ahead. See how much love you get from your friends.
I actually tend to get along fine with both the people I agree with and disagree with, part of it is being a conservative in Massachusetts, lots of people you disagree with around you, but basically people as a whole in person are usually good and friendly , particularly when you treat them right.
Politics isn't the world nor the most important thing in it and you can usually find something in common with someone in you try. Life is too short to hate people over politics.
Hatred huh? Then, Mr. CPAC accredited superstar, you must not have listened to Mike (Weiner) Savage – "They should all die" – or the anal cystic himself whose name shall not be spoken, not to mention countless others that pollute our air waves who try to imitate their on-air behavior nor those gun toters who rant on their radio time. And how about that sweet princess Ann Coulter? Or those of your disciples who speak of Second Amendment remedies. No anger there huh bub?
As far as Koch goes, there might be a little less "anger" aimed in his direction had he not been such a major dispenser of carcinogens. As it goes here, most commentary pokes fun at your heroes, as this site is dedicated to snarky commentary and, I think I can speak for the majority here, who post because it is fun.
But, as you say, it is a free country – at least until the Koch klan gets around to hitting us up for that too.
You're right. Nothing hateful about this:
after all Koch is supporting Scott Walker who wants to make labor rules that are still more generous than federal rules or those in other states so he deserves to be opposed cancer research money or no, but as long as you are funding Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Network, Racial Diversity Network then taking money from actual dictators and mass murders. Hey its all cool.
You must be really proud of what you wrote. Who in his right mind would want racial or gender equality, when one can simply create a straw man instead?
I am not sure why someone would brag about being a "journalist" after writing that nonsense. I am seeing a lot of hate for grammar and wondering where it is coming from.
"Why can't you scientist dudes just take our money and look in microscopes and shit?! C'mon!"
If the species killing meteor misses our planet by as much as you have missed the point, our continued survival is assured.
I love the creative use of language and that's a cool put-down. Gets to the point without being vulgar or nasty. I love it. 10 out of 10. Two thumbs up!
Ooh, lookie: http://datechguy.wordpress.com/2011/03/06/it-all-... With absolutely no comments at all.
Oooo, watch out. Pretty soon we'll have a troll invasion from all his readers.
EDIT: Ha ha, he slams us for downfisting his comments. Oh noes, my comment got a score of -31! That means liberals are meanies!
And no one here has written about the Monitor Group! Outrage! It must be because the Monitor Group is leftist, and not possibly because maybe the editors never heard of them!
But if you want examples of dictators conservative administrations have supported who later went on to use jets and tanks to slaughter their own people, I'm sure we could compile a list. A story like that would surely get your blog a dozen page views or more!
Unlikely. Moderation is enabled. Nobody comments successfully on that cunt's blog.
Oooo, watch out. Pretty soon we'll have a troll invasion from all his readers.
They might be too mad at the radio station Mr. Gannon works at for not even advertising his "program" in between the informercials on Saturday.
From wikki-wakki:
Monitor Group is a global management consulting firm. They provide advisory services to senior management of businesses, governments, and social-sector organizations in the areas of business strategy, capability building, and capital services.
Sounds pretty leftist to me.
Probably the first consulting firm in America to whore themselves out, too. You'd think Mr. Conservative would support their right to make shitloads of money shilling for bloodthirsty dictators because FREE MARKET! Funny how principles go out the window when the ideology doesn't line up and/or the checks clear.
Oh, hey, a bit late to this, but it turns out that Mother Jones published an extensive story about the Monitor Group a few days ago (the author, David Corn, was on NPR's Talk of the Nation today). But Wonkette didn't cover it, so the Left is fulla hypocrites, of course.
Also, I searched Mr. Techguy's blog for mention of the Nazi T-4 Euthanasia program, the Armenian genocide, Catholic rapist priests, and Vibrating Huckabee, and the silence was deafening. (OK, "Catholic sex abuse" got hits, but nothing on "rapist priests")
Someone passed this whole flame war with that doofus on to Fark and he's getting buried over there.
There's a donation button on his site but he only takes money when I wanted to donate a barrel of lightly salted rat dicks. Even idiots have to eat.
Want to see someone make a parody of themselves?
Apparently the left’s degree of hate is so large and their sense of honor so non-existent that the death of a 8-year-old girl and a federal judge is just another club to hit republicans in general and Sarah Palin in particular. http://datechguy.wordpress.com/2011/01/09/my-thou...
When you are gushing about being pals with folks like noted white supremacist Robert Stacy McCain, one would think you would have better sense than making such remarks like the one I quoted.
I'm just amused about how quickly he turned it into yet another diatribe about how Republicans and Sarah Palin were victimized by the whole event. Poor Republicans, the most beaten down folks in all of America.
Well, you must admit tat he's got us: Libruls are motivated solely by hatred. All I do all day is just hate, hate, hate, and then I take a little break for some unprotected anal sex with terrorists.
Yeah, I hate (actually it really is more of a dislike than hate) people that deliberately give folks cancer, white supremacists, and nutjobs that shoot our members of congress (or just shoot at crowds of people in stores for no real reason in general).
I must be a monster and a parody of myself.
You should check out the front page today if you haven't already. He has a spirited defense of McCain. Apparently going after his buddy was a low blow:
Stacy McCain is worth 20 of you (except in the eyes of God).
But I thought God was the only one who counted? Oh well. Pay no attention to that League of the South behind the curtain!
I was debating contacting this radio station to see how amused they would be about being "name-checked" by folks that also do the same for white supremacists, but thought that might be a bit harsh for someone just being an obnoxious moron. Now, I really feel no such conflict.
How exactly does people telling you that you're a wonderful fellow after you've paid them to tell you you're a wonderful fellow make you less of a terrible person?
"You know Dave, when I first met you, I thought you were a loathsome shitbag, but now that I've gotten to know you better, I realize you're extremely wealthy"?
The New York Times will no longer stand for being second place cumrag to Politico.
The tube sock of masturbatory journalism.
Once a cure for cancer is found, how does libertarianism dictate who gets it, exactly?
Those who are superior enough to afford it, of course, while they watch the suffering of poor people slowly and painfully dying from cancer and laugh.
Now, now. There's nothing inherent in libertarianism that requires laughter at the less fortunate. It simply enables it.
The invisible hand (up your ass) determines whose prostate is sufficiently enlarged to deserve treatment.
All rich people get it – because they are obviously good people.
All poor people are denied it – because they are obviously bad people.
I love it when political philosophies are written at a "College 101" level.
Fundies like it too i.e. if you're rich god lurves you, but if you're poor it's must be because God wanted it that way so shut up.
Now that's just not true. If a rich person can't afford to buy it, then they don't get the treatment. Conversely, if a poor person can afford it, they can have it. Nothing personal whatsoever. Just like laws about sleeping under a bridge.
Ah yes, now this is the New York Times that printed the Bush administration's "Iraq has WMD" lying propaganda and called it news that I know and hate.
To paraphrase Watchmen, you know the kind of cancer that you eventually get better from? I hope that's not the kind Koch has.
"All the News That's Fit to Print" – the key word here being "Fit", self-aggrandizing, woe, woe, pitiful me bullshit from the Koch P.R. machine is a reach around. Good call!
More like "all the news that fits"…
This comment has been deleted by Koch Industries because it hurt David Koch's feelings
Archival copy of deleted comment provided for future reference:
David Koch is an arsehole.
Hey, it's an early Sunday morning downfister! Aren't you wingnuts supposed to be wasting your time at church right now?
Why isn't the downfister at church, protesting something?
Or at some gay soldier's funeral.
And I thought he would be fisting the pastor with one hand, whacking off with his other hand while checking out the Sunday school kids.
He lost hiz tweezers and magnifying glass and cannot entertain himself in his usual fapshion.
If I am descended from alien microbes then David Koch devolved from a puddle of primordial slime right here on Earth. I refuse to be related to this guy in any way whatever.
I hate this Koch clown, but I'm also just tired of cancer getting all the publicity/money/love. Prostate cancer is one of the most survivable/treatable diseases out there – in fact, some studies have suggested that in many cases it grows so damn slowly the old men who get it will die of old age before it has any significant impact.
If this old douchebag really wants some karma points, why doesn't he 1) plow some real money into eliminating carcinogens from his products and/or 2) doing some shit that would benefit the vast majority of his employees? Carnegie, by all accounts, was a dick, too, but at least he left a general foundation, university, etc. – not just a donation that is basically meant to help his own sorry ass out.
This is right up there with Lemelson (an assclown who worked the patent system and American businesses for years as a shakedown artist without peer) enwoing an "Inventor's Hall of Fame" / glory wing at the Smithsonian. Fucking dick.
Oh, it warms my cold, cold heart to know that there are people out there who revile Mr.Submarine Patent as much as I do. Many upfists be upon you.
And like the folks who gave us leaded gasoline, General Motor's Alfred P. Sloan and Charles Kettering, also trying to buy that stairway to heaven.
You wouldn't talk like that if you'd ever visited the V57265694 Center for Acid Reflux Disease Research at Land Grant A&M. They've helped so many!
But Frank Zappa died of prostate cancer, so I consider it my duty to help wipe it out.
I live in Pittsburgh where all the free libraries have the name Carnegie, as a tribute to the man who tried to buy his way out of Hell by giving away money he made off the blood, sweat and tears of the Eastern European, Italian and Irish immigrants in his Death Pits, aka steel mills. Maybe the Kochs can get a position assisting Andrew as he institutes the Dewey Decimal system in Lucifer's Library
When I wish that this asshole and everyone like him would die, I say, "God, I’m a terrible guy,” And then I think about how I want everyone to earn a living wage, have health care, a social security net, etc., and I say, "Well, maybe I’m not so bad after all.”
Hey, is that prostatic fluid leaking from David Koch's mouth in the NYT photo above? The poor guy has a bad case.
Nope, looks like funky trucker spunk to me. (or so my sister told me)
Is this the sister in Mobile? Because I have this friend who says that the truckstop fluids in Alabama are actually quite odor-free. According to my friend.
Yes, it is the sister in Mobile and yes, the fluids are odor free, according to Nancy. She, however, smells like a Waffle House sink.
Is she single?
Mmm…Waffle House.
For any Youngs and others who don't already know it, the surgery for prostate cancer often results in impotence and incontinence — for the patient, of course. So you can see why a Koch or anyone else might think it a good thing to find a cure that doesn't reduce you to effective infancy.
That doesn't explain why NYT thought Koch deserved a tongue bath like this one.
He will no doubt have fake dick implanted, which in his case is redundant.
Can't his mom just donate a prostate to him? I bet she's a tissue match.
It's the Kent Brockman, "I, for one, welcome our new
insectKoch overlords"It occurs to me that editors in a position to
greenlight this fine piece of investigative journalismrewrite this press release are of an age where the annual checkup is much more intimate than it was in the past; it's also an age where you learn that "PSA" stands for "prostate-specific antigen" and are very interested in the result for it. So maybe they figured if they published a fawning story about the Koch Cock Center (Richard D Cox, MD, Medical Director), they'd get coupons for a 20% discount on any treatments there.PSA, TSA, what's the difference? In the end, someone's getting groped.
Yes, a real pisser to have to get on the Dave Vetter train.
The cancer makes it official: David Koch = the anality of evil.
Sorry Dave…I understand Ted Bundy once rescued a kitten from a tree. He was still a serial killer though.
Before he got really famous, there were Republicans in Utah who thought Bundy might be a good political candidate. Maybe it was Colorado or some other cowboy state, but Utah sounds better.
Actually Teddy boy was a fav of the Repubes here in the real Warshington. He ran the C'Addle office for Nelson Rockeffer in 1968 and likely killed his first victim here four years later.
No surprise really. Bundy, like so many Republicans have the superficially handsome/lady killer vibe going.—
A prostate biopsy or two would help a little.

So, did Judith Miller write this puff-piece? Sure has the aroma of ass mixed with rancid twinkie. She does have a rancid twinkie, you know.
"Out west, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them."
Composed by one ass-clown and intended for another. These people are some shit, right?
Mehbe she set it next to one of those funk carbonaceous meteorites and it caught the cyanobacteria flue? Usually twinkies live forever.
I'm pretty sure the stank this cunt left in her wake will last for decades, if not forever.
hey tt, is not 'rancid twinkie' an oxymoron?…is there stuff in a twinkie nature wants?
or is Judy's ass that powerful?
I am pretty much a moron, OC, so it is to be expected; and yes, since she is a princess of the Dark Side she is quite powerful. Cheney jism is powerful stuff, and she has swallowed gallons of it.
?? I thought that was Rod Stewart?
I've never seen Judith and "Michael Cooper" in a room at the same time.
They both have Koch on their breath, big time.
Judy works for Fox now. Need more be said?
Filed under “Surprise, Surprise!”
Go pry all the KOCH names off the fountains and theaters and library and everything
Save yourself this belated effort, Koch. If a cure for cancer could be developed that conveniently, someone else would've found an App for it much longer ago. Someone whose name will be remembered long after yours has faded into ignominy, I might add.
You'd think this reminder of his own mortality might make him relent a little bit in his efforts to fuck as many people as possible out of the glories and benefits of our fabulously wealthy society, that he'd recognize that in the end, he's just another one of us, blah blah. But he won't, and for that, he's all the more vile. No wonder the NYT celebrates him.
Who is David Koch?
And what the hell is Charlie Sheen? News? Really?
So the millions of dollars I invested in the Koch Cancer Fund actually go to his being CURED of cancer?
Man, I fucked up. I'm sorry.
Me too. Except I mistakenly made out my check to "Koch Canker Sore (In the Maw of Humanity) Fund" as I'm hoping that turns out to have been the actual diagnosis. Maybe Koch Mobster just misheard what the doc was trying to tell him.
I await the NYT next piece on how Charlie Sheen helps young struggling actresses. Now that Frank Rich has left, I cringe at the thought of having to read Mo Dowd's weekly daddy issue piece.
Man, you always learn a lot here at Wonkette, but that news–news to me–is really sad. He was a decent wacko-hunting columnist. You're right–reading Dowd is going to be a downer. May have to subscribe to New York mag.
One bad deed can ruin your whole reputation, and no amount of remorse and subsequent good deeds can redeem you. If you rape and kill your mother, that's it for you, you might as well end it now because no amount of Boy Scout good deeds will pardon you.
I don't care how much money Koch pours into good organizations, he has been raping and killing Mother Earth. (Although donating every last dime he has into good organizations might start to prove me wrong.)
Twice I sail around the world solo, but do they call me "Pierre the Sailor"? No!
He said sheepishly…
Right, but "donating" money to an institution solely to benefit yourself is not good enough. It shouldn't even be tax-deductible.
Actually, you are a terrible guy. The research doctor lips and tongues dancing in your ass don't mean mean you're a good guy, they're just feasting on your soulless corpse.
Karma's a bitch.
No, karma would be if he got a ripping case of pancreatic cancer or perhaps a fully metastisized lung cancer. This is an inconvenience for him, with his money, they can stretch this out for a good long time, probably long enough for something else to take him. David and his bro are as evil as ever, and trying to paint a human face on their greed and hatred of the saps (us) that got them where they are (besides daddies' money) is a sick joke.
Especially the instant kind, which is gonna get you; gonna slap you right in the face.
I just want to give a shoutout to the latest stalker, stench of libunacy. nice name, and eat a bag of dicks you creep.
You got a notice from them too eh? Don't these people have a life? No wait, they have government funded pensions.
Don't diss my follower!
Just added me too. Great…I'm being stalked by a consumer of a bag of dicks.
As long as he doesn't leave any dicks on your lawn, it's OK.
Oh, that's where the rat-dick-riddled pile of poop on my doorstep came from.
Rat dicks and shit. Eeeewwwww! I think I'd prefer a molotov cocktail, if only because it might smell better.
Yep, I'm also in the club. Granted, it's a fantastic club, and I salute you with all my pee points (or lack thereof).
Man, that guy is busy today, huh? I am honored to be counted among some of my favorite people here,
As for Stench, he needs to clean up the grammar in his profile. It makes no fucking sense.
I am a liberal, and I am PROUD OF IT!
How is life in San Antonio?
Hey, Chas –
I love the people here. They have been friendly, hospitable and very nice to me in every way. I don't go out that much, but I have enjoyed some of the sights: margaritas at Rita's on the river walk was lots of fun. It's the weather that drives me crazy – the temperature swings lately in the winter are downright silly!
Rumor has it that I will be moving on to another city soon, though. I will miss it here.
I caught an earlier post of yours about PSA and "male" infections. I've had prostate infections more than once: that elevated white cell count scares the bejebus out of you. Knock on wood, antibiotics have been enough for me.
Keep it real, my friend! Down with Stench!!
I'm having this vision of all of us following Libunacy and whenever they post something on a right-wing blog, such as "God loves the GOP" we all post something like:
"You are so right, Libunacy! And thanks for the anal last night – it was great."
Hooray i got one back. i used to have a troll but he quit cuz I guess I wasn't a dick enough to him. I promise to try harder this time.
The stench this afternoon has officially added me to his stalkee list. Honor or dishonor? You decide.
Wait until mr. stench learns that by following you he has increased your pee. Mad downfisting party is imminent!
Stenchy added me to his crush list too-The dude needs a hobby I guess, and being "A defender of Liberty" by trolling us is his. The folks on Breitbart's site must be a lonely bunch. If you're listening Stenchy, try fantasy baseball or maybe become a reinactor-the uniforms are cool, the history when it's right is fun, and the fresh air would do you a world of good. Just remember no matter what they say, the rebels lost the war. Bring some snacks too, cause hardtack tastes like crap.
I think the secret reason they follow us is to watch the fun we're having!
I'm always surprised (but not really) at the lack of humor and fun on the right-leaning sites.
A round of upfists, on the house, in honor of our stinky hater. Na Ztrovia!
Is there an over/under yet on Koch giving his tumor minority shareholder status & power of attorney?
CorporateTumor Personhood!And if so, would it then testify in Georgia?
"And then I come here and everybody treats me like I’m a wonderful fellow, and I say, ‘Well, maybe I’m not so bad after all."
There's just something a bit strange about the way this sad man absolves himself of sin. Christ-complex much? It's an odd odd thing to say.
Hey, speaking of incontinence…
The Following Troll has now changed its name to TheStenchofLibunacy (?!?), and would like us all to know that "You are being followed the the odor of liberal hatred, intolerance, arrogance, and elitism."
So, it hates liberals, and this hatred has an odor, and why does it want us to know this?
It smells like impotent rage to me.
Smells like…Victory.
I love the smell of elitism in the morning.
It smells more like eggplant parmesan around here.
Then I would like to sit by you, please.
And has already changed that abortion of a name to the stench of liberalism.
What was the previous name.
the stench of libunacy. Rolls off the tongue, don't it?
The last known previous name was "Liberal=Intolerant". It's got quite a grasp on memes, and talking-points, and whatnot.
Not much of a sense of humor though.
Smells like tween spirit!
Woo Hoo, just got another right winger to follow me on Intense Debate. I looked to see who this guy was and notice many Wonkette avatars. Sweet to join you in this guy's celebration of hate.
Here is link. http://www.intensedebate.com/users/2370767
And the best part, one of his comments whines about being given the ban hammer.
Just looked at their profile and it seems they have a woody for me too.
Ditto. Looks like they are lubing themselves today with the juice of Wonketters.
Must be a day-of-worship thingy.
They were already stalking me then did it again today.
Which means I am so nice, I am somehow worth stalking twice.
This is at least my 2nd stalker, and I still can't see the upside from their perspective.
I can't even see the point of having non-ironic "followers." I'm flattered when one or another true Wonketteer follows me, of course, and hope that they haven't just clicked on my avatar because they missed the "Reply" button, as I've done a few times. But what non-ego-stroking benefit is there to follower or followee?
You do get that nice khaki(???)-colored banner. But as far as I can tell, that's about it.
They aren't a very good troll if they don't post that we are "afraid of Sarah Palin" I thought that was their hallmark.
Oooo. That would be a good personal description. "So nice you can stalk me twice."
I believe I'm in the same category as you. Couldn't imagine a nicer bunch of folks to hang out with. Honored to be included.
I wish there was some way to send him a dozen dead flowers.
Golly, what an unpleasant individual. Splendid work mocking him, I say.
I accidentally downfisted 4TheTurnstiles. Because I am drunk. Upfist him/her please.
Done, and done.
Upfist for Turnstiles and for you too–for posting while drunk.
Thanks for sharing!
I was contemplating changing my avatar, (too depressing), but now, knowing that Stenchy sees "cut-nut's" stupid face all the time, I think I'll keep it!
Joined his "loveya list" too eh? I wrote above that he should get a hobby of some sort, hope he's listening. Trolling is such an unfulfilling sort of thing in the long run. You won't convert the heathens (in this case us) and you spend a lot of time in places you really don't want to be. I admire the guys and gals that go over to Breitbart's to play with them, but after a while it has to be depressing to see what you consider idiocy reigning gloriously on despite your best attempts to proseletyze the heathens. I still say he(she) should hook up with some reinactors and blow off some steam in a healthy manner.
Because of his generous stalkage, I looked (for the first time) at Breitbart.tv, where he had last posted. How can even a raving birther stand it? The comments are so fucking humorless and boring.
I peed you up one upfist, "The one without a hobby or outlet for his energies" must have dinged you. I feel upfisting as some sort of patriotic duty nowadays, not that I give a rat's about my own pee points, but some seem to at least notice them. And yes, they don't do humor in a lot of "those" places. I avoid them primarily due to this.
I fisted you too, pal. Was it good for you? I enjoyed it.
You got that right. They are really not funny at all. It's just like the same trite crap over and over. Generally not even on topic. Mostly just like "Stalin-Mao-Obama! Derp!"
Hey we have the same trite crap over and over too – ours is just funnier.
TruckNutz and buttsechs for all.
Amen.
I do beg to differ on that: We do have our memes and inside jokes, but the humor here is *humor* and not dimly repeated talking points. There is some thought behind the anal sex references and TrukNutz lust we proclaim. We don't do the "Hyper-Giga-Mega-Dittoes, Rush thing here. Christ it's like listening to ingsoc on the radio sometimes…
Looking at his posts on Breitbart, it's ofter literally the same trite crap over and over; these people seem to think that copy and pasting the same fucking thing repeatedly is somehow clever.
He's also my last visitor as well, and looking at his "people I'm following" I recognize the vast majority from here. Spanky here http://intensedebate.com/people/FX3 is also following a lot of us, but not quite so many. I'm pretty sure I remember both from their pre-banhammer days, but they change their names and avatars so much it's hard to be sure.
"FWIW, this intolerant liberal: [link to SorosBot's profile URL] really hates getting thumbs down on his posts." –"Stench of Liberalism" 5 weeks ago. Oh, noes! He clearly knows that he's slowly wearing us down! Soon, thanks to his brave activism, the horror of modern liberalism will be a thing of the past.
Also, I currently have no Breittards following me. This makes me feel slighted, like when Bugs Bunny noted that there was no bounty placed on wabbits. Hell, I'm just as much a danger to the American Way of Life as you other guys!
Of course they have to repeat their mantras over and over. They might forget them or stop believing in them after being exposed to reality.
This is adorable:
"Kathy Griffin, like so many others on the left…"
Yes, of course, idiot troll. Kathy Griffin is the fuckin Howard Zinn of the 21st century. We all take our liberal hegemony cues from her.
I got the intensedebate herpes today as well.
As revenge, I created a new avatar to follow them.
Here's to sinking to their level. Feels bad man.
I, too, am being stalked by some troll who calls himself StenchOfLibunacy and Stench of Liberalism. If this is the asshole who has been downfisting us, at least my taunts forced him to disclose his name.
(Stench of Liberalism? And I took a shower this morning…)
So, I asked intense debate about a restraining order. I'll let you know how that goes.
Yeah, please let us know – the same creep just started following me, too. Somehow, I think this Intense Debate is not that great – my av from Wonkettes follows me all over the place, now.
I go away for the weekend and find the same thing has happened to me. I guess he doesn't appreciate me using the term "TeaTard", but, hey, if it fits…
He must be reading the National Enquirer now; I was grocery shopping and saw they had some article about nude Palin pics in the last issue.
Being followed. Itchy.
For the record, I follow as many of you as I can because I like seeing you in green stripes, not because I plan to down-pee you if you ever post on BigGovt.
I understand the Times got Walter Duranty to write the fluff piece on Koch.
As an old person (extremely by Wonkette standards, much less so in the general population) who has stage one prostate cancer and who is therefore familiar, at least from an informed layman's point of view with treatment options and prognosis, it is very likely that Koch may live quite a while longer. As someone already mentioned, many–by not means all–prostate cancers are very slow to spread.
From the article is sounds like the combination of engineers and doctors studying ways to attack tumors is the kind of thing that will be worthwhile for treatment for a number of different cancers.
None of which makes Koch any less a reptilian form of life (apologies to snakes and lizards) who will be remembered as a thug who stole hundreds of millions from the families of working people and gave it to Harvard.
Sorry to hear it, and glad they found it at stage 1.
I wish you success in your treatment. My father died 30 years ago from prostate cancer and there has been great strides in treatment since then. He would probably be alive with today's tools. I underwent the joy of a prostate biopsy only to discover later my elevated PSA was due to 'the mother of all bladder infections' as my uro called it.
Although high PSAs can lead to unneeded procedures such as in my case they are still the best indicator of a problem. And everyone over the age of 50 should have a colonoscopy every five years. Those without insurance, as I am now, have little choice in the matter. We don't need any Washington plutocrat tryin' to prevent us from dyin' with their socialized medicine!
We are fortunate enough to have insurance and my husband had a colonoscopy last year. We were told that since it was “preventative care” the procedure would be covered. Recently (almost a year following the procedure) we received a bill for nearly $800, apparently the anesthesiologist was not covered and it’s taken a year for them to establish that the insurance company won’t pay it. Now they want us to immediately submit our payment. Moral of the story is: Some of us have insurance and can’t afford to use it.
"We don't need any Washington plutocrat tryin' to prevent us from dyin' with their socialized medicine!" Amen brother.
Good god, you're like the dozenth person I've heard of where the anaesthetic wasn't covered. What, do they expect people to go without during surgery? How is that not total bullshit?
My best guess would be that the anesthesiologists’ don’t bother with going through the process of getting “preferred provider” status with the insurance companies. I have no doubt the process to get approval is probably a huge pain in the ass. The main stream doctors do it because of demand I suppose, but the anesthesiologist is the sort of doctor you aren’t going to go shopping around for, right?
The absolute beauty of our particular situation is that if you are going to appeal a decision, you have to do it within 6 months of the procedure; we didn’t get the bill until almost a year later, so basically the insurance company kept the ball in the air long enough that we wouldn’t have any avenue for regress. Of course, we have all heard these sorts of stories before during the health care debates, but "We don't need any Washington plutocrat tryin' to prevent us from dyin' with their socialized medicine!"
[edit: "avenue for regress"? or "avenue for redress"?
Screw it, today we are all Sarah Palin.]
My dad, who is nearly ninety, has had prostate cancer for over ten years and he is still very active and coping with it. Hang in there!
I just find it seriously screwed up to try to gloat about trying to find cures for cancer while trying to give cancer to as many people as possible. I have heard about trying to create a need for a product, but that is taking capitalism to its logical/unhealthy end.
Bastards One and Bastards all let's all do our Bastard call. (make sucking noises, please)
Wish I could edit my "follererz." I also now has the digital ick.
"Mutate, baby, mutate…"
So much for the "liberal media".
Oh, almighty Andrew Philanthropist Library Carnegie, who art in America when not in Europe spending the money of your slaves and serfs, thou art a good father to the people of Pittsburgh, Homestead and Beaver Falls. We bow before thee in humble obedience of slavery….We have no desire but to serve thee. If you sayest black was white we believe you, and are willing, with the assistance of…the Pinkerton’s agency, to knock the stuffing{g} out of everyone who thinks different, or to shoot down and imprison serfs who dare say you have been unjust in reducing the wages of your slaves, who call themselves citizens of the land of the free and the home of the brave… Oh, lord and master, we love thee because you and other great masters of slaves favor combines and trusts to enslave and make paupers of us all. We love thee though our children are clothed in rags. We love thee though our wives…are so scantily dressed and look so shabby. But, oh master, thou hast given us one great enjoyment which man has never dreamed of before—a free church organ, so that we can take our shabby families to church to hear your great organ pour forth its melodious strains…. Oh, master, we thank thee for all the free gifts you have given the public at the expense of your slaves….Oh, master, we need no protection, we need no liberty so long as we are under thy care. So we commend ourselves to thy mercy and forevermore sing thy praise. Amen!

See? Reenacting history is fun!
And you don't even need to buy uniforms, tents and guns for this sort! Come as you are!
I think the guy who wrote this qualifies for 100 posthumous Wonkette pee points, God rest his soul.
Nicely said
A tumor on two legs paying to cure cancer? That's 100% irony.
David Kochs is a terrible, terrible human being
I'm all for finding a cure for his cancer, as long as it's distributed by ACORN and Planned Parenthood.
The perfect way to fund biomedical research–wait for someone with a few extra hundred million to throw around to get sick with something dire and have him fund a bunch of postdocs, M.D./Ph.D. candidates (known as Mud/Fuds) and senior scientists to come up with a cure for his disease/condition.
In a free market economy diseases have to earn the right to have cures found for them.
I remember when that Superman guy broke his back or something and dedicated a lot of his fortune to spinal research. Even strapped to a board, he lived a better life than I do.
Ding! 100. LOL
Thanks for all the fists, Wonketteers.
Congratulations – just remember that with great p-ness comes great responsibility.
You sure? I thought it was "with great p-ness comes great poo-see"
Congrats on the 100 mark!
You just got another love-lubed forcible fisting from me for pulling down that p-note, Steverino.
Congratumalations!
Koch funding cancer is no different from Duke Cunningham talking about prison reform or Dick Cheney's support of gay marriage or at least civil unions. It's only when it affects themselves or someone close to them that they care..
Koch-whine is a hell of a drug.
If we have the most freedom, why can't I buy a beer at 11:30 in the morning on Sunday? Sharia law?
Maybe it's because you're too blind from your weekend-long bender to find the liquor store, welfare parasite.
Whaddya mean? Paint thinner is at the hardware store and some of those are open that early. And Listerine is at the grocery store!
Delicious!
Being as how my dad died from prostate cancer that metastasized into his bones, I have a lively interest in my approximately-annual PSA reading, and while I wouldn't say I look forward to the digital exam, I'm pretty happy when it comes up ho-hum.
And, being as selfish as the next guy, I have to feel somewhat pleased when yet another rich guy dumps a chunk of bucks into R&D for ANY disease.
But I do find it peculiar (it might even meet the actual definition of "ironic") when such rich guys (Millken, Koch, etc) get so much praise for supporting research that is exclusively directed at a specific disease that they, personally, suffer from. They have every right to devote their (probably ill-gotten — certainly so in Millken's case) wealth to try to buy a cure for what ails 'em, but how is this worthy of commendation? I suppose a cynic might say they deserve some credit for not trying to keep the research private, but these guys are smart enough to realize that such an approach wouldn't work very well, because other workers in the field would be unlikely to cooperate with a secretive Save-Dave-Koch's-Prostate-LLC.
Seriously, the take-away from this should be to hope like mad that Dave Koch contracts several other chronic diseases, so he'll donate bigbucks more broadly.
Upfisted, madly.
It is not just the fact that Koch is investing in cancer treatments that will obviously be sold "at a fair market value" that makes this seem so cynical to me. It is the heavy involvement in pollution and the increased cancer rates that he has a direct hand in. As I stated earlier, some of this really seems like trying to manufacture a product that you are creating a need for, which is somewhat disturbing.
I would love to see him contribute the same percentage of his wealth to doing good that the average wonketeer does. But seeing as how there's a LOT more money in cancer treatment than there will be in a cure, I predict that not much will be accomplished until he and his ilk can materially profit from it.
Self interest is at the heart of philanthropy, and there's nothing wrong with someone with a fortune putting it where he/she believes it should be used. The specific problem with David Koch (and his ilk) is that he is aggressively working toward the public de-funding of *everything* — he and his brother are real nut-bag fringe libertarians. And then, in the world of the Koch Bros. and their peon masturbation gallery over at Reason Magazine or whatever, the only things that get any money are the things that interest David Koch.
So, he gets a type of cancer, and money will go to that but not to other diseases. He likes a certain type of symphonic music or art, and those things will get big bucks in his town but not anywhere else, and not anything that isn't to his fancy.
These sociopaths don't just want to end all taxation of the rich and all public funding of anything, but they want to play God and decide what arts and research will get any patronage at all.
These people are EVIL, through and through, and they should be financially destroyed.
here's an analogy for you. david koch rapes you up the ass repeatedly for days, weeks, months, years, without end. every day, morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night time, dead of night: anal rape. at some point, he fails to receive as much pleasure from raping your ass as he once did. so he buys you a tube of preparation-h to reduce swelling. do you thank him? [I read stuff about me and I say, ‘God, I’m a terrible guy,’ ” he said. “And then I come here and everybody treats me like I’m a wonderful fellow, and I say, ‘Well, maybe I’m not so bad after all.’ ”]
Therefore, I upfist you (actually, it's your av).
As a '69 Badger, long gone to the Left Coast, I have ask: What the hell were people thinking?
I thoroughly agree with you. Inherently, libertarians seem to think that they should be the nobility in a feudal scheme. The ones who have actually managed to achieve financial success think they should be royalty. (As an aside, have you ever had any success pointing out to a would-be libertarian rambling on about "meritocracy" that no "meritocracy" has ever lasted more than one generation?)
Anyhow, it's human nature to expect that private philanthropy will reflect the interests of the philanthropist. The point of my comment was that — independent of the level of evil of the donor — it's kind of stupid to lavish praise on someone for essentially making an investment in his own health.
But so many can benefit from the David Koch Small Penis Endowment Endowment.
Small Endowment Endowment?
Then maybe Uuhhhbama and that missing link he "married" ought to invest their millions to find a cure for crack addiction. Just think what that would do for the community of "brown" "people" from which The First Satans were spawned!
Remember people, opposition to Obama has NOTHING TO DO with race!
Clowns are funny. Clown.
I'm surprised; usually the Breitbart trolls try to couch their racism in code words, it's strange to see one go all-in.
Somewhere, at the back of his consciousness, back behind the part where he is poisoning the world for profit, I suspect that he has some inkling of what a monster he truly is. To counter this he donates to the opera, the ballet, and to ball cancer. It probably helps him sleep better at night. Still the fact remains: Koch is at the forefront of the campaign to destroy the habitability of the planet … for profit.
Truly an enemy of the human race.
"He?" Surely, you mean Uhhhhbama, The Cretin Who Ate the Planet… Yes?
It's an insult to call the New York Times the Gray Lady. Gray ladies have so much more class than the NYT.
They mispronounce their name as "Coke." Evidently this was done to circumvent any "cock" jokes. Coke whore, cock whore … who's splitting hairs here?
Anyone else noticing that the insan'o section of the right wing bleachers all seem to have ass cancers/hemmys/ etc? What's the deal with that?
I was just happy that these Koch brothers were really old and would hopefully die soon, but cancer? BONUS!
I had a similar discovery when I flew to India some years ago. Great, half empty flight to Japan and from Japan to Singapore, but then switched to India Air. All of a sudden there's livestock in the overhead bins and people just cold dropping apple cores and trash everywhere. It was both foreshadowing and a good metaphor for India – glossy, modern exterior covering up classic 3d world chaos.
Awesome, thanks!
Double wide. Oh, you meant "married" Yes, she is married to a tub of goo who likes to go to Civil War reinactments. His name is Walter, but they call him Frank.
My husband is a few courses short of his PhD and he and Frank are going to have nothing to talk about. Spooky.
Jumpstarts their colon?
A photonics engineer, eh? Do you wear a red shirt?
I guess Mr._i is not getting his PhD in Civil War Re-enactment, Buffet Studies, or Applied Camouflage Technology, then.
Frank is one of those dudes who carries a pocket knife and a gun, even in the shower. Jeff's toolbox consists of a Bic lighter and a corkscrew.
Frank is older than Nancy. I am going to make him a martini and ask him if it is true that Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings and watch his hand reach for that gun of his. Then again, there is an annoying hawk in my yard that is eating my baby birdies and Frank could come in handy.

I've been reading your posts about the Deleware relative visits, and need to know one thing: was scrapple inolved at any point?________________________________________
In a two-minute response effort, you're lucky to get Rod McKuen quality, let alone the Bard of Avon.
whoops! I accidentally thumbed you down. My bad!
I don't enjoy scrapple. My daughters love it though. I think it is chicken lips and pig peckers.
Went to World Market and got some martini glasses. Noticed that Olivia Wilde is on the cover of Cosmo magazine. I haven't gotten mine in the mail yet.
Ben & Jerry's came out with 4 new flavors. The red velvet cake sucks. The Girl Scout were selling cookies and I had to get some.
I lived in DE for 20+ years.
"chicken lips and pig peckers"
only if you're lucky. Seriously – isn't scrapple the sort of thing you can only enjoy if you grew up during the Great Depression?
The first sip of the first Martini will seem punitive. Do not think, “This might be efficacious for stripping paint off the hull of a freighter, but why would anyone drink it?” Press on, carefully. You will be rewarded. Plus there is the snobbish satisfaction of drinking a real grown-up drink. It's elegant to chill the glasses in the freezer first.My sister & family have had a place at Bethany Beach for many years.________________________________________
I really don't know about scrapple. People who eat it love it very much. There are three things I will not eat, scrapple, spinach and ketchup. Ketchup is the condiment of the damned.
I got a brainstorm at the market. Why not stuff the olive with a chunk of blue cheese? There was an article in this month's Food Network mag about salty stones they are putting in martinis now.
My daughter, Christine lives in Middletown, DE. I like DE. NM is great and San Diego is where I hope to end up. Jeff's dad lives in La Jolla and Jeff got his first two college degrees at SDSU.
Do you have a World Market in your area? That place is great! Found all kinds of martini paraphernalia.
He clearly knows that he's slowly wearing us down!
Like water dripping on a rock. 10,000 years from now, there will be a small indentation.
Yeah tear off those name because if….
I can't even attempt to complete that "sentence". I almost expected him to say "the reason is because".
Not only did he brag about the "journalism" thing, he boasted that his AM radio show is "heard in 6 states". Wow. I played in crappy punk rock bands that were more widely known than that.
I thumbed him up for you.
After listening to a "snippet"of his show, it struck me that he has the same Elmer Fudd delivery as our favorite boy wonder neo-fascist neophyte. Maybe Wonkette struck a nerve.
Ah, but they're a group from HARVARD, and therefore a bunch of libruls. Any group that includes Francis Fukuyama is liberal, ya know.
Scrapple is made out of cholesterol. It is delicious.
Not sure whether the blue-cheese-stuffed-olives are fair to the cheese or the drink or the cheese, but have had them. Pimientos soaked to tastelessness in brine are the standard.You should get to San Diego as soon as possible, as the housing market is as depressed as it will (I hope) ever be.
Ms Barb, I'm in San Diego right now and through part of the summer, and would love to meet up with other wonketeers here. How do we do that? What with sekrit identities and suchlike. SD is overrated, also. But has nice weather and Pacific Ocean.
"people as a whole in person are usually good and friendly , particularly when you treat them right. "
