Where in the world

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 20, 2008 01:58 PM

I’ll be on Neil Cavuto’s show on FNC at 4pm Eastern to talk Palin, Obama, and socialism.

Related food for thought from Stanley Kurtz and Ed Morrissey on The Spreader of Wealth’s socialist New Party ties.

Blogging may be lighter than usual the rest of the day. I’m celebrating the big 3-8 today and counting my blessings. At the top of the list: My family and freedom (for now).

Here’s a fun flashback photo from 20 years ago — taken at high school graduation — via my classmates at Holy Spirit H.S. in Absecon, NJ. Check out my Big South Jersey Hair. Time flies!

    Happy Birthday and stop lying about your age. You look 15 and you just want to play with the big kids. The hair is cool, did you talk like the girls in Saturday Night Fever?

    Ha-ha, go enjoy…

    A very happy birthday, on behalf of my wife Mary and our 13 children. Family is indeed the biggest blessing of all.

    If you didn’t get the obligatory breakfast in bed, I suggest you demand one first thing tomorrow.

    Remember, chocolate is a vegetable. So eat lots of veggies in your cake!

    Happy Birthday! But you’re still just a baby… lol

    I had a reality check last night. One of my teenage daughters friends said “Yes, you are very trendy and a lot more fun than the rest of our parents but…… you’re still one of those old people that thinks he’s still cool but we really make fun of you when you are not around….” :)

    Ah, so here’s the proper thread to say it: Happy B-Day, Michelle! Here’s to looking forward to another year of making your blog a must-stop destination.

    Looking at that photo from two decades ago, there’s only one thing to say: the years have been very kind to you, indeed… straighten out the hair and it’d be hard to see the difference from today. And I’m not just saying that for flattery’s sake.

    By comparison, anyone looking at a picture of me from that long ago would do a double-take and say, “That was you?”

    Being a child of the ’80’s, I can relate to your hairstyle choices. There was a time when many of us indulged in perms and too much aquanet to get the desired volume. We now know better.

    Enjoy your blessings and this special day.
