Why are the Children of the deceased Right Wing icon, Richard Mellon Scaife in Pennsylvania Orphan's Court? To find out what happened to all the money that was burned on his "hobbies" including the scurrilous Pittsburgh Tribune Review. The link to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette Sunday article is below the centered squiggle. Read it for a jaw drop or two. (Yes I know the PG is the competition. So what.)

Just some quick perspective:
This is the guy who personally funded the Arkansas Project. He also backed numerous Right Wing and Conservative Think Tanks and causes. The trustee of Scaife Mother's 1935 Fund, as it is called, is deeming Scaife's spending of hundreds of millions of dollars on Right Wing hackery "a hobby". That's some hobby. Along with the upcoming movie on John du Pont -- Foxcatcher; starring Steve Corell that is getting all kinds of Oscar buzz this fall and winter; it will be a delightful time to ruminate on the loathsome excesses of wealth and power. This is why these clowns should be taxed at 90%.
