Cutbacks! Budget chief Peter Orszag celebrated his 41st birthday Wednesday with cake -- but no icing. Senior OMB staffers presented the youngest Cabinet member with a cake baked by Zeke Emanuel, a top health-care adviser (and brother of Rahm). But there was no frosting "in the spirit of budget-cutting."

Sen. Chuck Schumer apologized Wednesday for insulting a flight attendant Sunday on a shuttle from New York to D.C. The New York Democrat argued with the attendant when she asked him to turn off his cellphone and he "made an off-the-cuff comment under his breath that he shouldn't have made, and he regrets it," his spokesman Brian Fallon told Politico.
