Happy Birthday, Senator Ben Nelson! From governing Nebraska to navigating the halls of Congress, you've always had a knack for making politics look easier than pronouncing "unicameral legislature." Your ability to bridge divides and charm both sides is legendary—rumor has it even Republicans secretly miss your bipartisan magic.Whether as Governor or Senator, you’ve consistently championed common sense solutions with humor and grace. Today we celebrate not just another year older—but wiser (and funnier) too. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy—and absolutely no filibusters over cake slices! Here's wishing you continued success in lobbying life’s happiest moments ahead.
