Today is the 35th birthday of People magazine. FYI.
And the 75th birthday of Ralph Nader. Howard Hesseman, Dr. Johnny Fever himself, is 69, which is weird.
It was on this day in 1860 that Abraham Lincoln gave his famous Cooper Union speech in New York, making him an instant (for the era, People magazine not around) national celebrity and leading him to the White House.
And then there was the February 27 Reichstag fire in 1933, giving conspiracy theorists everywhere a handy metaphor.
Three lovely women also celebrate birthdays today, Joanne Woodward (79), Elizabeth Taylor (77), and Chelsea Clinton (29).
OK. Four.



Happy birthday, spousal unit. So what if you made one teeny error in judgment 26 years ago? It’s not like you’ve whined about it. And sometimes I make you food and stuff.
love love
