   That’s a very interesting article (and I do love the phrase Kochtopus). I remember reading the article on the Koch Brothers when it first came out. I had also been following the power play over the Cato Institute but didn’t realize the two events were related.

   Charles Koch comes off as a bit of a cafeteria libertarian. It doesn’t help that he has become caricatured as the George Soros of the right.

     Speaking of libertarian leaning organizations:

     In my precinct the constable race has become a focus of a SuperPAC!

     I always vote R against Ballesteros, for whom I have a low opinion, but the SuperPac has given me the chance to vote for a D gun dealer against him, first.

     Read the article and note the odd source for this SuperPac – a college student.

   Mostly hung-jury in Edwards case. One conviction.

   One acquittal, not one conviction. The remaining counts have been dismissed.
