Rahm Emanuel is one of the most interesting characters in politics. No one - not in the blogosphere, not in the msm - can resist his allure.
Noted by Political Wire:
Politico: "After finishing his opening round of casual meet-and-greets, Emanuel hopped into a Dodge Caravan, in which he could be seen vigorously sanitizing his hands in plain view of television cameras and reporters."
Major health insurance companies in California and other states have decided to stop selling policies for children rather than comply with a new federal healthcare law that bars them from rejecting youngsters with preexisting medical conditions.

Democrats let Lieberman keep all his leadership positions when he ran as an independent against Democratic nominee Ned Lamont.
American companies are still sitting on mountains of cash, according to a new report from the Federal Reserve.

Greed rocks.
