QuoteBillionaire David Koch, conservative donor, dies at age 79
WASHINGTON (AP) — Billionaire industrialist David H. Koch, who with his older brother, Charles, transformed American politics by pouring their riches into conservative causes, has died at age 79.
Charles Koch announced the death on Friday, saying, "It is with a heavy heart that I now must inform you of David's death."
David Koch, who lived in New York City, was the Libertarian Party's vice presidential candidate in 1980. He was a generous donor to conservative political causes as well as educational, medical and cultural groups.
The Koch brothers were best known for a vast political network they built that became popularly known as the "Kochtopus" for its far-reaching tentacles in support of conservative causes. The brothers founded the anti-tax, small government group Americans for Prosperity.
One of the two architects of Citizens United is dead. What a shame.
QuoteCharles Koch says his brother was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer 27 years ago but liked to say that "brilliant doctors, state-of-the-art medications and his own stubbornness kept the cancer at bay." Charles Koch says his brother "was able to touch so many more lives as a result" in the ensuing years.
This is one of the definitions of "bad touch".

HiLLaRy's gOoNs! :whack:
There are few death notices I can see first thing in the morning that make me say "GOOD."
We could use a couple more of those.
Progress still being made in the usual way, one death at a time.

"Good," was my exact response this morning as well.
