... and this was the name of the building he was recovering in. Yes that's conservative Tea Party funder David H. Koch - the guy who Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker thought he was talking to on the phone. Yep ... THAT David Koch.
Apparently Koch gave a bunch of money to the Hospital For Special Surgery so the hospital re-named their main building (below) after him. And I gotta say - it's pretty nice, as hospitals go - with great views of the East River.
When I got home I did some research, and found out that Koch ALSO has a theater named after him at Lincoln Center. The New York State Theater (below) - which houses the New York City Ballet and the New York City Opera - was renamed the David H. Koch Theater in 2008, after Koch pledged $100 million for renovations and ongoing maintenance. BTW - most of the people who work and perform at the David H. Koch Theater are Union members. HA!
I wonder what those rank-and-file Teatards would say if they knew just how much money their Sugar Daddy (Koch) was spending in fancy NEW YORK CITY - which is just crawlin' with all them there HOMERSEXTICALS and DIRTY COMMIE LIBRULS ?!?!!
I bet they wouldn't be too happy.

And his foundation funds a number of PBS programs, NOVA among them.
