Nuking Politics Celebrates Harvey's Birthday

Many more years ago than I can count, on this special day, a wonderful man was born. He was the last child born to loving parents (because obviously, how can you top him?)  In fact, he was so extraordinary that they gave him a mysterious middle name which he never reveals. (Maybe we should guess?)  All his youth was spent in a small rural town in Wisconsin. It was okay that it was small because it had a library, and with books he could go anywhere he wanted, except someplace warm. He started the beard as early as he could to keep his face from freezing.

(This is the only pic I could find of him. I guess he's always looked like that :)

After he breezed through high school, he joined the Navy to see the world and ensure that it was being run properly. On discovering that it wasn't, he vowed never to leave the United States again. (Except, of course, to go someplace WARM.)

He has spent his life ridiculing tyranny wherever he finds it and mentoring stupid young whippersnapper bloggers and making them into somewhat older whippersnapper bloggers. He has had a positive influence on the lives of so many because he does so tirelessly, lovingly, and with such sharp wit he always has us laughing at ourselves. Nuking Politics would not exist if it weren't for Harvey. (Neither would Frank J... but that's another story...)

So let's CELEBRATE with a HUGE Nuking Politics Happy Birthday from me and all my dwarves (what is Squawk (Keln) playing? Oh, is THAT what a banjo looks like?) :

Celebrate-y Cookies to HARVEY!!!!  Help us spread the Happy Birthday cheer by making sure to sign the card ... and don't forget to try and guess his distinguished middle name.  :)
