January 12, 1949 Bill Nighy, English Actor (One of THE great character actors)
January 12, 1948 Anthony Andrews, born in London, England, actor, Under the Volcano (Sebastian!)
January 12, 1929 Magnus Magnusson, Scottish Journalist (host of Mastermind, legendary British quiz show)

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 Kirstie Alley, Wichita, Kansas, actress, Star Trek II, Cheers-Rebecca - January 12, 1951 Larry Hoppens, rocker, Orleans-Still the One, Dance With Me - 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.
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.
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."
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.

Happy Birthday, Professor.
Hey! Happy Birthday, Howard!
Oh, yeah. And you too, Ann. ;-D
How nice that the University didn't schedule classes on your birthday! Hope it's a great one!
Happy birthday, Ann.
Happy Birthday!
Hey, it's my birthday, too.
I'm so reminded of the Imus show with the "Cardinal":
Which doesn't belong and why??
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 Happy Ann! Much good presenting to you!
Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday! Mine was yesterday!
Trey
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?)

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.

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.
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.
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!"
Mark
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!
Tanti auguri a te,
tanti auguri a te,
tanti auguri a Althouse,
tanti auguri a te!
Happy birthday!
CumpleaƱos feliz!
Bonne anniversaire!
Happy birthday, and thanks for blogging!
Happy Birthday Ann.
And to my daughter, Lauren who is 27 today, and just announced her engagement last week.
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.
Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, Ann
