Happy Birthday, Mr. Treasury Secretary
Well, this is somehow fitting. No 2,000-person parties. No Jennifer Hudsons singing "Happy Birthday." No staff cheeseburger outings. No, the other 50th birthday of note in the administration—that of bedraggled Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner—was observed with only a single cupcake, poised on a Starbucks cup, barely sturdy enough to support the "5" and "0" candles lodged into its modest crown of icing, sprinkles and crushed nuts. Hang in there, Franzy. [Flickr via Atlantic Wire]
