These are the moments that give me hope.
In person: The LA Kings winning the 2014 Stanley Cup in Game 5, after playing all 7 games in each of the previous 3 rounds. The team was so exhausted and banged up that they were playing by sheer force of will.

Charles Koch and Leonard Leo just filed one!
You know when the surviving Koch brother has turned on the monster he created that things have really gone off the rails.
