Weekend Links Join the Plutocracy

Charles Schumer: Friend of private equity.

Bill Clinton: Blogging. My comment was not accepted by the moderators for publication. I wasn't rude, I just asked why African countries should be "leaders in the fight against global warming". If anything, African countries should be the ones getting a free pass on carbon emissions.

Edward Cardinal Egan, lobbyist. If you want your controversial and illegal merger to get a pass from Congress, it can't hurt to get an archbishop on board!

Carlos Slim: Probably not the world's richest man, after all.

Bain Capital: Normally charges 2-and-30. But if you're willing to have your money sitting on the sidelines, only to be used in case of emergency, they'll only charge you 0-and-20. Bargain!

The Rothschilds: Reunited. Of course, being Rothschilds, the structure by which this was achieved is brain-achingly complicated.
