I'm scheduled to be on CNN's American Morning talking about the news that Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner hired a Goldman Sachs lobbyist to run his department - on the same day Geithner said he wanted to crack down on lobbyists, and in the same week Barack Obama promised to limit the influence of lobbyists in government.

Tune in.

I like your stuff, honest, but this blog is starting to look like an advertisement for your media appearances. Could you maybe post this kind of thing in a quick hit or something, and save the main page for your substantive and original blog articles?
