This from that bastion of leftism and soak the rich:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Washington Post Co. will pay its 2013 dividends before the end of this year to try to spare investors from anticipated tax increases.The media and education company said Friday that its dividend of $9.80 per share is payable Dec. 27 to shareholders of record as of Dec. 17. The payout is instead of regular quarterly dividends next year.
Washington Post is the latest company to move up its quarterly payout or issue a special end-of-year payment to protect investors from potentially having to pay higher taxes on dividend income starting in January.

This from folks who love to assure us that the rich should pay more taxes. But apparently this doesn't include their shareholders, who I'd be willing to bet are both heavily rich and liberal.
Liberal hypocrisy has no bounds.
