Happy Birthday to Me!

Are you mad and exhausted?

You’re not alone. But we can’t let that paralyze us, because there’s work to be done. One of our most important jobs as journalists right now is shining a light where powerful people want you to see only chaos and darkness. If you want that light to shine brightly, please support our fiercely independent journalism. It can't happen any other way.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!….I turn 50 today. Happy birthday also to Jim Henley, who stubbornly remains a couple of years younger than me. And to Grover Norquist, who stubbornly remains a couple of years older than me. And to GOPAC chairman Michael Steele, who stubbornly remains exactly the same age as me. And to everyone else born on October 19th. Buy yourself a cake today!
