Move along, nothing to see here, more about the COKE/ Koch brothers (we already know)

[UTUSN]

The funny part is that their daddy is named Fred, just like The Donald's daddy, because at the Comedy Central Roast, the host said, "We are here to honor a self-made man who started with nothing and built it into a financial empire ---- Donald's FATHER FRED..."

Are all of the daddies named FRED or what?!1

Koch Brothers Flout Law Getting Richer With Secret Iran Sales

.... Obsessed with Secrecy

Koch-Glitsch is part of a global empire run by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, who have taken a small oil company they inherited from their father, Fred, after his death in 1967, and built it into a chemical, textile, trading and refining conglomerate spanning more than 50 countries.

Koch Industries is obsessed with secrecy, to the point that it discloses only an approximation of its annual revenue -- $100 billion a year -- and says nothing about its profits.

The most visible part of Koch Industries is its consumer brands, including Lycra fiber and Stainmaster carpet. Georgia-Pacific LLC, which Koch owns, makes Dixie cups, Brawny paper towels and Quilted Northern bath tissue.

Charles, 75, and David, 71, each worth about $20 billion, are prominent financial backers of groups that believe that excessive regulation is sapping the competitiveness of American business. They inherited their anti-government leanings from their father.

1. Hypocrites. They don't want any business to compete with them.

2. Think Darryl Issa will call for an investigation into their un-american activities?

Perhaps we should start making a stink about that via twitter and fax...
