Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on October 11, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Bruce! From advising Reagan to dissecting domestic policy, you've navigated history with more wit and wisdom than most of us navigate traffic. Your insights have aged better than fine wine—though we're still waiting for your secret recipe on how to make economics funny.

Here's hoping your birthday is as timeless as your contributions to historical discourse. May you continue enlightening us with sharp commentary and clever tweets that keep politicians honest (or at least nervous). Cheers to another year of brilliant analysis, memorable moments, and reminding everyone that historians truly know how to party—responsibly, of course!
