HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!....I turn 50 today. Happy birthday also to Jim Henley, who stubbornly remains a couple of years younger than me. And to Grover Norquist, who stubbornly remains a couple of years older than me. And to GOPAC chairman Michael Steele, who stubbornly remains exactly the same age as me. And to everyone else born on October 19th. Buy yourself a cake today!
