Happy Birthday John McCain!

Today is Senator John McCain's birthday. He was born today in seventy-two years ago (in 1936) on a Naval Air Base in the American-controlled Panama Canal Zone.

Happy Birthday, John McCain!


You know what else happened on August 29?

  • Lenny Henry, the great British comedian was born on this day in 1958
  • In 1833, the UK abolished slavery in its empire
  • The Beatles perform their last (paying) concert in San Francisco in 1966

Oh, yea - I forgot one. This is the day that Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. While John McCain and his best bud George Bush were photo opping with that cake above, the Bush administration through sheer incompentance, was letting a great American city drown. More than 1,800 died. Billions of dollars in damage.

Happy Birthday John McCain!
