Koch, coal and cash

The cynic in me hardly batted an eye when I read recently that Republican House Speaker John Boehner is raking in coal-stained cash. Nor did I spill my coffee when I noticed that one of Boehner’s big new donors is a Koch brother. My interest was piqued, however, when I saw that it wasn’t David or Charles Koch -- the infamous Tea Partier billionaires -- who were forking out for the Republican leader, but the “other” brother, Bill.

Read more about Bill Koch's shift in his political donations at the HCN Goat blog, where I'll be doing most of my posting while I'm in Boulder (though I'll continue to occasionally throw something up here).
