Happy Birthday, Charlie Luken! You've navigated Cincinnati politics so skillfully, they had to elect you mayor twice—just to make sure it wasn't beginner's luck. From steering the city through the '80s and into a new millennium, your leadership has aged better than fine Cincinnati chili (and that's saying something!).And let's not forget your brief but memorable stint in Congress—proving once again that Cincinnati charm can survive even Washington politics. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and fewer potholes than city council meetings. Here's to another year of timeless wit and wisdom—cheers!
