Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on November 01, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Darrell Issa! From building a successful business empire with Directed Electronics to navigating the halls of Congress since 2001, you've certainly mastered both car alarms and political charm. Who knew that protecting vehicles from theft would be such great training for safeguarding taxpayer dollars?

Your journey as a self-made multi-millionaire turned dedicated public servant is truly inspiring—proving once again that entrepreneurship and politics can indeed mix (at least occasionally). Here's wishing you another year filled with success, laughter, and perhaps fewer false alarms in Washington. Keep making California proud—and remember: age is just another number worth auditing!
