Squillionaire Charles Koch, having reshaped the legislative and regulatory landscape a bit more to his liking over the past few decades, is planning to do some exciting renovations to the judicial branch of government next. But don't worry! He's not out to get more lenient sentences for perpetrators of white-collar crime, because rich guys never go to prison anyway. No, Charles Koch and his top attorney say this new focus on judicial reform is all about making the justice system fairer for the little guy. Trust him.
Mr. Fartknocker, or can I just call you Fart? Were I a believer in the invisible sky wizards I would ask one to guard you against the possibility of a horrible chemical fire/explosion resulting from the unfortunate juxtaposition of your job and Rick Perry's Texas. Please stay safe.
Privately owned, so it's money right out of his pockets... a solid 0.05% of his net worth. No wonder he's upset: it's like fining a millionaire $500.
"...making it fair and making (criminal) sentences more appropriate to the crime that has been committed."
One can only hope. I mean, just because someone's rich, they shouldn't get away without being punished for 97 felonies where they caused severe damage to the ecosystem, right? Who would argue that someone should only get a relative slap on the wrist for something like that?
Yep, impossible to imagine there isn't an incredibly evil motive behind the obviously self-serving one on the surface... He's like an onion of evil.
As someone who responds to emergencies involving chemicals in Texas, and as someone who lives within the Rick Perry regulatory scheme, you gotta be a pretty fucking lousy plant operator to get 97 notices of violation from the Tx Comm. on Environmental Quality. I believe in my office we use the term "intentionally blatant." And don't even get me started on ammonium nitrate storage.
One final note: did McNaughton draw that picture because I love how the dark clouds beautifully replicate a large toluene pool fire at a storage tank terminal.
<i>&ldquo;It was a really, really torturous experience,&rdquo; said Mark Holden, Koch&rsquo;s chief counsel. &ldquo;We learned first-hand what happens when anyone gets into the criminal justice system.&rdquo;</i>
According to Dick Cheney, if you weren&#039;t jumping to your death to escape a burning building, you weren&#039;t tortured. So shut the fuck up ya wusses.
Same as the old Koch...

&quot;too many laws and too many prosecutions of nonviolent offenders&quot; --David Koch
Nope, not at all self-interested.
&quot;I bought the law, and -- my law won.&quot;
FIFY

I&#039;d almost support this, if it wasn&#039;t, y&#039;know, KOCH.
Koch: &quot;We want the best justice that money can buy.&quot;

Me neither. And I would remember that name. I still remember Fred Sass and John Seaman from high school. Not to mention Anna Marie Cox from wonket.
Helping the little guy...? Is Koch, like, short or something?
Manson has a kinder, gentler side too, you know.
Nothing says American exceptionalism like a big, fat, white thumb on the scales of justice.
