Happy Birthday, Mark Russell! Your piano keys have tickled America's funny bone for decades, turning political satire into a melodic masterpiece. From your legendary PBS specials—broadcast live four times yearly between 1975 and 2004—to your triumphant return from retirement in 2013 (because politics without you was just too serious), you've kept us laughing through every administration.Even though politicians come and go faster than trending hashtags these days, your wit remains timeless. Thanks for reminding us that humor is bipartisan—and always hits the right note. Here's to another year of sharp satire; may it be as enduring as Congress's ability to provide comedic material!
