    Courtesy vice.com a story about Koch backed astroturfing tying net neutrality to (wait for it!) yes, Marxism.

    http://motherboard.vice.com/read/net-neutrality-is-marxist-according-to-this-koch-backed-astroturf-group

    Is this why Ted Cruz seems to resemble Joe “Tailgunner” McCarthy so strongly? And why Putin is a meanie? Because red baiting is new again somehow?

    Fascinating what Billions doesn’t buy isn’t it?

    I read an interesting piece pointing out another reason Burger King may be moving its HQ to Canada. Tim Horton’s is regarded as a prize Canadian Company, and its not clear if the Canadian government would be happy with it moving south. So to avoid problems on that side of the border the HQ is moving north.
