Billionaire industrialist David H. Koch, who with his older brother Charles was both celebrated and demonized for transforming American politics by pouring their riches into conservative causes, died Friday at 79.

The cause of death was not disclosed, but Koch Industries said Koch, who lived in New York City, had contended for years with various illnesses, including prostate cancer.

  A jew, a holocaust survivor who managed to live to be an old man, dies and goes to heaven.
  He meets God, and tells God a joke about something that happened while he was in a concentration camp.
  God replies, "That's not funny."
  The Jewish man says, "I guess you had to be there."
