Today is Sen. John McCain's birthday.
-
Lost in the frenzy of Barack Obama’s speech and John McCain’s vice presidential pick is another big milestone: the Republican presidential candidate’s 72nd birthday Friday. The McCain campaign is hoping to bury the news in the announcement of his running mate — but the Democrats have a different way of marking the big day, Washington Wire has learned. They plan to celebrate with the septuagenarian all weekend, accusing him of being close with President Bush by throwing “More of the Same” birthday parties on Friday and Saturday in key states like Ohio and Pennsylvania. A Democratic Party insider said local...

The thing about Sidney Crosby is that he became so good, so fast – and handled it all so well -- people forgot how young he was. Even now, people forget how young he … is. Sid turns 21 today. Twenty one. In another life, he might be entering his senior year of college, getting ready to earn his degree and send out resumes, looking for a job to chart his place in the world. Instead, he is on the cusp of his fourth National Hockey League season, captain and leader of the hottest young team in hockey, trailblazing scorer...

The Ticket needs to apologize because apparently we missed something -- like the next three months and election day. Sen. Barack Obama walked into a town hall meeting in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, last week. The crowd was enthusiastic, ready to see and cheer him. But, before listening to his usual stump speech, the crowd, perhaps spontaneously, had something to do for their guy, according to the From the Road blog of CBS News' Allison O'Keefe. The nominee-to-be's fans sang "Happy Birthday." On Monday, Obama will turn 47. But the happy crowd did not sing "Happy birthday, Sen. Obama." It confidently...

Mick Jagger, the snake-hipped, rubber-lipped frontman of the Rolling Stones, celebrates his 65th birthday Saturday but shows no signs of slowing down, despite officially becoming an old age pensioner. At an age when most British men are retiring from work and claiming state pensions, Jagger is dating a woman some 25 years his junior -- stylist L'Wren Scott -- counting his millions after the Stones' record-grossing "Bigger Bang" tour and branching out into film production. His behaviour may not be as hellraising as that of fellow Stone Ronnie Wood, who last week entered rehab to receive treatment for alcohol abuse...

This is just one link I found out of many that says muslims don't celebrate birthdays and it was reported here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/2460299/Barack-Obama-does-not-give-birthday-presents-to-children.html that Obama does not buy his children birthday gifts.

FROM this morning MICK JAGGER will be able to get the bus from his house in Barnes to bandmate RONNIE WOOD’s in nearby Kingston – for FREE. The pouting, hip-thrusting rock ’n’ roll god reaches the grand old age of 65 today – bringing Sir Mick the Satisfaction of a free bus pass. THE ROLLING STONES frontman officially becomes a pensioner after a remarkable career spanning his entire adult life. And despite his personal fortune – around the Ł225million mark – he will be entitled to a basic state pension just shy of Ł91 a week. That’s almost enough for...

In a magazine interview Obama and his wife Michelle revealed that one of their steadfast house rules is not giving Christmas or birthday presents to Malia, 10, and Sasha, seven. The couple explained that they spend "hundreds" on birthday slumber parties and want to "teach some limits". Santa Claus is still permitted to deliver seasonal gifts however. The girls are also given an allowance of just $1 (50p) a week for performing household chores, according to People magazine. Those chores include making their own bed, setting and clearing the dinner table and putting themselves to bed by 8.30pm. On the...

Yes, there’s cake, and true to the degenerate spirit of the event, it’s cut with a scimitar. Israel’s planning to hit the local bureau of AJ with sanctions as punishment, but I don’t see why. Israel made this possible. Olmert might as well have been named on the invitations as an honorary co-host.Say this much for the decision to free him, though: Outside of Hamas’s kiddie death-porn pageants, you won’t find a neater example of jihadists and their “moderate” Arab sympathizers reveling in their own cretinism than the celebrations they’re having for this turd. It’s propaganda gold, albeit at an...

LONDON (AFP) - The birth of Louise Brown, the world's first IVF baby, hit headlines around the globe three decades ago -- but the married mother-of-one wants to keep her 30th birthday Friday low-key by contrast. Brown -- who lives in Bristol, south-west England, with husband Wesley Mullinder and 18-month-old son Cameron, working as a shipping company administrator -- remains reluctantly in the public eye despite her modest lifestyle. Although her birth opened the door for millions of infertile couples worldwide to give birth to IVF (in vitro fertilisation) or test tube babies, Brown has no big plans to celebrate...

The oldest living former Major League Baseball player, Billy Werber, celebrates his 100th birthday Friday, but you would never know it by his quick wit. As he is fond of saying about the leg he lost to .diabetes, "They cut off my leg but not my head." Werber is the sole surviving teammate of Babe Ruth, having played third base for the Yankees in 1930 and 1933. He also played with the New York Giants in his final season, 1942, and the Boston Red Sox (1933-1936), Philadelphia Athletics (1937-1938) and Cincinnati Reds (1939-1941), which won the World Series in 1940....

The oldest surviving veteran of World War I's trench warfare is celebrating his 110th birthday. Harry Patch, who was born in Combe Down, Somerset, was a plumber by trade before being called up. He was a private at the Battle of Passchendaele. A party is planned at the care home in Wells, where he now lives. Mr Patch attributes his long life to clean living, avoiding what he describes as the "three sins" of smoking, drinking and gambling. "For many years in Shropshire, I lived quite close to the Welsh mountains," he said. "Fresh air, no petrol and no cars,...

FORT HUACHUCA — For more than two centuries, the U.S. Army has fought and won the nation’s wars. But during the 233 years, America’s senior service also has saved lives, delivered clean food and water to refugees, and upheld “democracy in Iraq and ensuring peace in Afghanistan,” the fort’s senior officer said on Friday. “Whatever the mission, America turns to her Army for help during times of crises, and the Army always delivers success,” said Maj. Gen. John Custer, looking across Chaffee Parade Field with a large representation of soldiers from a number of units in front of him. Those...

I send greetings to all those celebrating the 233rd birthday of the United States Army.

Today, the Army is helping to defeat the ideology of tyrants and terrorists. With unwavering courage in the face of danger, members of the United States Army have made America more secure and earned the respect and admiration of a grateful Nation. I commend soldiers both past and present for your sacrifices in defence...

Most U.S. school children grow up knowing the story of Betsy Ross, who may or may not have sewn the first American flag, based on a sketch given to her by George Washington. But what about Francis Hopkinson, Mary Pickersgill or Samuel Reid, all of whom played roles in the history of the flag? Or Bernard Cigrand, who may have been the first to celebrate the birthday of the flag and led the movement to make Flag Day, June 14, a national observance? In her lifetime, Ross herself never claimed to have sewn the first flag. Only in 1870 did...

In the courtyard of a low-slung convalescent hospital west of USC, Gertrude Baines was inaugurated Sunday into one of the world's most exclusive sororities. She turned 114 years old. There was cake. Singing. Proclamations. Superlatives. Because only two other people in the world are 114. There is no one older. A former college maid with a fondness for hats, bacon and Scripture, Baines is the third-oldest person on Earth, according to the Gerontology Research Group, which validates claims of extreme old age. A year ago she was No. 9. It's not hard to figure out what happened in the interim.

SANFORD, Mich. -- At her seventh birthday party, Amber Birdsall thought the huge gift box wrapped in pink paper likely hid a pair of bicycles. She was wrong. Inside was something she wanted even more -- her stepfather, a soldier who had been deployed overseas. "This is way better than bikes," Amber said. The surprise began a few weeks ago when Amber told her inquiring mother that all she wanted for her birthday was to have her stepfather return home from serving 10 months in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Her mother, Trisha Johnson, 34, relayed Amber's wish to her 39-year-old husband...

February 22 is the birthday of George Washington, the man who, more than any other, made possible our republican form of government. The third Monday in February has come to be known - wrongly - as President's Day. America's political leaders should take this occasion to remember Washington's deeds, recollect his advice, and once again call the holiday celebrating him by its legal name: Washington's Birthday. James Flexner, George Washington's greatest biographer, called him the "indispensable man" of the American Founding. Without Washington, America would never have won our War of Independence. He played the central role in the Constitutional...

One would be hard-pressed to name a living scholar who has been more widely or more justly celebrated than Jacques Barzun. On the occasion of his centennial, his many students, readers and friends celebrate his life and work once again, not because he needs yet another accolade, but because the world needs the example that he presents to us of a life devoted to learning and teaching, to honesty and tenacity, to beauty and wit, to conversation and friendship. Even more important than these personal and academic qualities is the wisdom underlying the great themes that run throughout his work....
