Howard Stern, Rush Limbaugh, and me.

I've said it before, but let me say it again. It's our birthday.

I'm so reminded of the Imus show with the "Cardinal":

Which doesn't belong and why??

Meade said...

And who are they?

Like, have they ever been the answer in a major New York periodical crossword puzzle?
I think not.

Ah well... happy birthday to them too.

Happy Birthday. Based on your photos it's the big 30, right? *wink*

Happy Birthsday, Prof. Althouse! And Mr. Limbaugh as well. (If I don't like Howard Stern, and if he isn't here, do I have to wish him one?)

And these exact contemporaries (based on the Wikipedia article on Ann):

- January 12, 1951 Bill Madlock, 4X NL batting champ for the Chicago Cubs
- January 12, 1951 Chris Bell, born in Memphis, Tennessee, rock guitarist, Big Star
- January 12, 1951 Drew Pearson, former NFL all-pro receiver

- January 12, 1951 Rush Limbaugh, born in Girardeau, Missouri, radio personality

I'm an August 7 baby. Charlize Theron and I are exact contemporaries...which is kinda freaky, because she looks twice as old as I do.

In compensation, she's richer taller.

Cheers,
Victoria

What do Howard Stern, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Althouse, and 6 year old William Wigderson have in common? Happy Birthday Ann, and if you're in Waukesha tomorrow we're having a birthday party at McDonald's. Orange drink and a happy meal. Yum, yum.

Charlie Eklund said...

Happy birthday Ann, and thanks for all of the enjoyment I have derived from your efforts over the past several years.

As for Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh...well...not so much, on either score.

vbspurs said...

Wait! What happened to my Happy Birthday reply to a snarky comment by "Opiate"??

In it, I complained about his lack of wishing you a happy birthday, and I of course, sent you b-day greetings.

Since it's disappeared:

Happy Birthday, Ann! Many happy returns on the day.

Cheers,
Victoria

Have a good birthday, Ann!

Why don't you call Limbaugh and do a little McCartney for him? "You say it's your birthday/It's my birthday, too, yeah!"

Happy Birthday Ann. You and I are one day apart (I'm tomorrow).

Forget about Stern and Limbaugh. I wish I shared my birthday with the great Bill Nighy, a favorite around my household for his portrayal of a burnt-out rocker in "Still Crazy."

Also Marco Boogers! Yeah!

Happy Birthday Ann.

Wow!!!!

Mine is the 31st! Ernie Banks, Jackie Robinson and Nolan Ryan share this day with me as well... I should brew up a good post for that day...

I think Rush was revolutionary in the beginning, but has fallen in the trap of enjoying the sound of his own voice...

Actually, he can't hear anything. But I see your point.

It's hard to believe, but among talk-radio hosts, at least the ones you can hear in LA, Limbaugh comes off like an erudite thinker compared with most of the others.
