Happy Birthday John McCain!
Today, August 29th, John McCain is celebrating his 72nd birthday by announcing his VP pick, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. In 2007 he similarly deflected from his annual age increase by officially announcing his bid for president, done via The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Other past celebrations include the festive 2005 pastry-op with President Bush shown above (taken as New Orleans was getting Katrina’d) and a 2006 celebration spent on the yacht of Russian aluminum tycoon and Putin-ally Oleg Deripaska.
We at The Seminal wish the old warhorse a happy day.

The birthday cake will have more candles than frosting.
In an unrelated development, Hurricane Gustav is heading for the Gulf Coast and is now a category 3 storm.
Can't wait for that outpouring of compassionate conservatism.

compassionate conservatism, only works if you are not a US citizen, Just ask the people of Georgia.They even sent Navy ships to bring food, and supplies. Not even caring that those ships can be destroyed at a touch of a button. I wonder what McSame wishes for , when he blows out those birthday cakes? Death , destruction, and higher oil prices is my guest.

A few minutes ago they said Gustav was a category 5.
But Bush won't mess it up this time. He can't, because if he does, McCain won't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning.

...but I'm still betting Cowboy-hat Oathbreaker drops the ball. Besides, everybody knows there's nobody in New Orleans except all them thar Brown People, and he doesn't need THEM for support when he has the have-mores -- excuse me, his base.
