Do'oh !!

That will learn me to hurriedly post from my cell phone. And if the blister is anywhere - it's underneath that ridiculous comb-over.

So true.........

 

And at a more basic level, this shows how spiteful he can be when he doesn't get his own way.

 

This was in the Comments section of that article:

"These people are anti-democratic monsters, and having succeeded in placing the ludicrous Donald and a solid Republican Congress in a position of absolute power, they pose a clear and present danger.

Koch et al would not be so bad if they were rational actors acting out of enlightened self-interest--the virtue of selfishness, and all that adolescent twaddle.

But they're not. They're fanatics, Ayn Rand cultists, trust fund brats, angry, arrogant men who imagine themselves to be a kind of Master Race---in Charles Koch's case, a dangerous megalomaniac who'd have been hustled off to the local psych ward for observation long ago, if he hadn't happened to be insanely rich as well as simply insane.

Our futures, in short, are not in the hands of rational, witty men like the men of the Enlightenment who maneuvered us through the American Revolution and made a flawed but useful constitutional republic: nor even clever radicals like the French revolutionaries, whose legacy has been much more substantive and lasting than that of the Americans in terms of both human rights and sound government (although their time is running out as well).

No: our futures are in the hands of a dark money cabal of petulant billionaires, most of them enmeshed in the dying and deadly fossil fuel industry, as well as the grifters and con artists and fanatics inevitably drawn to such men. These are men who see no real harm in killing us all, just so long as they themselves get to wield unprecedented levels of power (they're not in it for the money, money they've got: they're in it for the incredible rush of playing at being gods).

It's not a comforting thought, in a planet filled to the gills with nukes and nut jobs."
