Obama selects former Republican Timothy Geithner for Treasury Secretary:

Not a lot has been made of this, but Geithner is a former Republican who got fed up with the way the party was going in the 90's and became an independent.

The Inauguration of our

The Inauguration of our President Elect Barack Obama is fast approaching but there are still problems in the new government that he is trying to build.  Timothy F. Geithner will not be in need of a payday loan for a very long time. That is if he becomes the nation’s next United States Secretary of the Treasury. However, the Obama nominee is being criticized left and right for failing to pay taxes of about $42,000 to the Internal Revenue Service between 2001 and 2004. At the time, Geither was working for the International Monetary Fund, and apparently U.S. tax law mixed with working for an international company was too complicated for him. Good thing getting a payday loan is nice and simple. Barack Obama and his team are defending the nominee, stating that his tax mistakes were honest mistakes and Geithner is the right person to appoint as the nation’s Treasury Secretary amid the global financial crisis. Nonetheless, the Democrats have decided to delay Geithner’s confirmation until after the Jan. 20 inauguration.

Not to be curmudgeonly, but

Not to be curmudgeonly, but what the devil does Geithner's tax dust-up have to do with payday loans?

And there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake.
