To my friend ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
fringefan, former editor of the long-running APA-NYU fanzine anthology and longtime member of the New York University-based (but not necessarily -affiliated) science fiction fan group NYUSFS, many happy returns of the day. I still recall the night I went to my first party at his Brooklyn home (known to Northeastern fandom as "the NY Cadre"; ask him why) and became acquainted with this talented, generous man. May you and yours enjoy health and happiness for decades to come.

Today is also the birthday of filker0, Pegasus-nominated filk artist, husband to the lovely and equally talented spiritdance and co-parent of one of the most ree-diculously cute kidlets currently toddling. I am so blessed to know both of you and delighted to have you on my f-list.
filker0, Pegasus-nominated filk artist, husband to the lovely and equally talented spiritdance and co-parent of one of the most ree-diculously cute kidlets currently toddling. I am so blessed to know both of you and delighted to have you on my f-list.One: Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-Republic of Gilead Cobb County, GA), speaking at the just-ending term's commencement ceremonies of Liberty University, the college founded by the late, only-lamented-by-some Rev. Jerry Falwell, just days after the latter's untimely death.
Excerpts from the Gingrich address at ajc.com
Two: A HuffingtonPost.com opinion column basically tearing Newtie Boy's speech to shreds.
Why Newt Should Never, Ever Be President
Three: An ordained Baptist minister, in a far better position (at least theoretically) to discuss the alleged desires of God than Newtie Boy can ever hope to be unless he enters a seminary, piles on.
Falwell's (and Gingrich's) Flawed Vision of An American Theocracy
In three fairly concise reads, we get a real-life illustration of the principle the late, very much lamented Doug Adams codified in his most famous work, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "The person who most wants the job of President is usually the very one who on no account should be allowed to have it."
"Undeclared candidate," my skinny white Cajun ass.
