Yesterday was my birthday, but I was born on Father’s Day. First child too. That man became a father on Father’s Day.

Happy Birthday to Me!

It’s an anniversary of my 21st birthday, but I’m not telling which anniversary it is!

Happy Birthday also to: Joe Piscipo, Newt Gingrich, Venus Williams, Barry Manilow, and even Jack Murtha…

Dean Martin was born on June 17th, as was Igor Stravinsky.

Queen Elizabeth is celebrating her “official” birthday today. The Queen’s real birthday is April 21st and she just had her 80th. It is traditional in England to celebrate the monarch’s birthday in June because the weather tends to be better.

MC Escher was also born on June 17.

[You make a charge that the republicans have made a deliberate, concerted effort to fix the 2004 election and this is not a partisan issue? – Ed.]
