Mike Allen and Michael Calderone, Politico: "Washington Post Publisher and Chief Executive Officer Katharine Weymouth said today she was cancelling plans for an exclusive 'salon' at her home where, for as much as $250,000, the Post offered lobbyists and association executives off-the-record, nonconfrontational access to 'those powerful few': Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and even the paper's own reporters and editors."

ExxonMobil paid no federal income tax in 2009

Exxon tries to limit the tax pain with the help of 20 wholly owned subsidiaries domiciled in the Bahamas, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands that (legally) shelter the cash flow from operations in the likes of Angola, Azerbaijan and Abu Dhabi.
