I've mentioned it before, but today's my birthday. I've blown out the candles and made my wish. Now, all of you are going to give me a present and make my wish come true... aren't you?
Happy Birthday, Charles! And I intend to do my part to make your birthday a happy one. Of course, there are others out there who would deny you a joyous day, because they are rude and inconsiderate illiberal utopian statists.

Weekly Reader kids select Bush in Presidential Poll
The students who read Weekly Reader’s magazines have made their preference for President known: they want to send President Bush back to the White House.
The results of this year’s Weekly Reader poll have just been announced, and the winner is President Bush. Hundreds of thousands of students participated, giving the Republican President more than 60% of the votes cast and making him a decisive choice over Democratic Senator John Kerry.
Since 1956, Weekly Reader students in grades 1-12 have correctly picked the president, making the Weekly Reader poll one of the most accurate predictors of presidential outcomes in history.
Posted by: poll troll at 10:55 AMCongratulations, old man. I did my part, leaving my pinprick of Downstate red to be diluted in a cesspool of Chicago blue. At least you got to vote in a swing state.
I didn't bother the last time, because in my county the R's couldn't lose and statewide they couldn't win. And then I heard the endless crapola about Al Gore and the popular vote and swore "never again".
Posted by: J Bowen at 05:16 PMHappy 32nd! I should probably arrange a Blogbash in honor of the occasion. Guess that's an excuse to finally check out Llewylen's in Webster. Research. Yeah, that'll work.
