Koch Brothers Take a Dig at Burning Man

It seems that Burning Man just can’t get away from politics. Perhaps this is an inevitable consequence of all that time spent strolling the corridors of power in Washington.

The latest happening is a new advertisement from Americans for Prosperity, a “grass roots organization” that claims 2 million members which was set up by behind-the-scenes power players Charles and David Koch. They are mass mailing a flier to attack a politician from Nevada called Sheila Leslie, and using Burning Man as their motif because she passed legislation requiring fire performers to be licensed. Leslie is in a tight race to win District 15, which includes Reno.

Maybe they didn’t approve of the slightly less than conventional way the bill was signed? Looks cool to me!
