[factsarenotfair]

2. So, should I just make my check out to the Bush family instead of the IRS?

3. I'm so fucking sick of those fuckers

Are they our new fucking government? Sure seems like it to me.

4. Of course they do! What, did people think snowden hurt the company?

Not in America! Not in a plutocracy.

5. I'm sure the people who no longer receive 'Meals on Wheels' and who relied on

Head Start are just THRILLED.

Priorities, don't you know. Old folks have to go without meals and kids need to go without daycare and a jumpstart in life for the benefit of the new Security State.

6. +1

7. Thanks for the stock tip.

If I was Al Qaeda (which I am definitely not, for those NSA observers) I would invest in Booz Allen, set up a major attack, sell the stock after increased funding, let things go quiet for the stock to drop, then repeat the cycle again.

Hell, who am I kidding? Booz Allen probably pays Al Qaeda to do this. There are probably a dozen Wall Street insiders that know exactly when the next terrorist strike will be.

Exclusive Audio: Inside the Koch Brothers' Secret Seminar

A close-up view of the oil billionaires' dark-money fundraiser and 2012 strategy session.

Don't miss Gavin Aronsen's breakdown of the Kochs' million-dollar donor club.

Don't forget to check out Part 2 of this report, on the GOP superstar who rocked the Koch seminar crowd.

"We have Saddam Hussein," declared billionaire industrialist Charles Koch, apparently referring to President Barack Obama as he welcomed hundreds of wealthy guests to the latest of the secret fundraising and strategy seminars he and his brother ....

~Snip~

According to an agenda (PDF) for an earlier Koch seminar (Aspen, 2010) that accompanied the leaked invitation, previous Koch seminars have featured "such notable leaders" as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, Sens. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), and Reps. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Mike Pence (R-Ind.). Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas also have attended.

Several GOP governors made it to the Vail seminar in June, among them Florida's Rick Scott, Virginia's Robert McDonnell, and White House hopeful Rick Perry of Texas. News of the event slipped out after McDonnell put the trip on his weekend schedule; neither Perry nor Scott initially disclosed the trip to their constituents. A Perry spokesman acknowledged his attendance only after the Austin American-Statesman tracked the tail number of a plane belonging to one of the governor's top donors from Texas to Colorado. He described the summit as a "private gathering of business leaders."

FISA Court Judge Got Free Pass to Koch Anti-Terror Event

Chris Young July 7th 2013

U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson, who signed an order requiring Verizon to give the National Security Agency telephone records for tens of millions of American customers, attended an expense-paid judicial seminar sponsored by a libertarian think tank that featured lectures from a vocal proponent of executive branch powers.

Vinson, whose term on the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court began in 2006 and expired last month, was the only member of the special court to attend the August 2008 conference sponsored by the Foundation for Research on Economics & the Environment, according to disclosure records filed by the federal judge. The Center for Public Integrity collected the disclosure records as part of an investigative report that revealed how large corporations and conservative foundations routinely sponsor ideologically driven educational ...
