Update on Obama's lobbyist friends

My original post on Tom Daschle, the health care lobbyist being appointed as secretary of health and human services:
Change #1: Reversal on ethics promise

According to the International Herald Tribune (New York Times' international edition), the Obama transition team is rife with lobbyists as well:

As noted in an ABC news blog and on FT.com (Financial Times), Eric Holder, Obama's pick for attorney general is a lobbyist with a history of shady dealings in both the public and private sectors.

About Me

I find it's best to avoid filling in these "about me" things. You never know who's watching. And anyway, how would I decide which of my many personalities to portray? I wouldn't want to anger any of them. I WILL HARNESS THE POWER OF THE GOOGLE BLOGGINGS. Quiet, Pavlo. The point is that these things are dangerous. If I'm not careful, I could come across as a weirdo. Or boring. Also, I believe that every photo of me steals a little bit of my soul, so no profile picture.
