C'est succès. C'est prospérité!

Here's Adele Stan with a run down of the events at the Americans for Prosperity last night. It's rare that you see people this lacking in self-awareness --- these people are taking it to new levels.
Back in the hall. AFP Foundation Executive Vice President Tracy Henke introduced David Koch to the crowd, where he received a standing ovation. Along with the other dignitaries present from the AFP Foundation board, she also got a warm round of applause for her shout-out to Art Pope, chairman of the foundation's sibling organization, simply known as Americans For Prosperity. Pope is the North Carolina political powerhouse who is behind the attempts to re-segregate the public schools of Wake County.
Then Henke warned the audience that if they left the building during the program, they would not be able to return, because of the Occupiers.
"We are so incredibly successful at what we do," she said, "[that] there are 500 protesters that have set up outside." She then directed the audience to look at the video giant video screens used to magnify the speakers. Photos flashed of the view of the protesters that David Koch took in from the south-facing window from which he had looked out at the crowd. "That's success," she added. "That's prosperity."
Here's a picture of the event:
