Koch As In Cokehead Not as in New York's former fun Mayor The question's arisen, how's their surname pronounced? Not like New York's favorite fun Mayor Koch. No, David and Charles Koch pronounce it "coke" Like the fossil fuels they still promote as top notch. Why let them claim CO2 their fuels produce Won't cause climate change if you buy fuel from them? Why let Kochs buy naming rights to New york City Ballet's home in Koch Center? What a great stratagem! Why? Money talks and these brothers are loaded. Philanthropies love them. So does the far right. John Birch loved their daddy. They love Paul and Palin. Farewell regulations. Hello Stainmaster blight. Their billions are funding the grassroot endeavors Of TeaParty activists. And we thought they sprang As frogs from the mud soon after a rain, Like Adam and Eve, but without the Big Bang. But no, Charles and David needed the Indians. What good are chiefs if they're lacking a tribe? Now they have several that they can work with. It's called campaign financing. Who'd like a Koch bribe?
