Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on September 29, 1931)

Happy Birthday to Joseph M. McDade, a man who spent over three decades mastering the fine art of appropriations—proving once and for all that politicians really can be good at math (at least when it comes to budgets)! Your legendary tenure from 1963 until 1999 made you Pennsylvania's tenth-district superhero, tirelessly championing your constituents' needs with wit and wisdom.

From navigating Capitol Hill politics like an expert sailor steering through stormy seas, to serving on the House Appropriations Committee with unmatched dedication—you've truly earned your slice of birthday cake today. Here's hoping this year's budget includes plenty of laughter, joy—and zero filibusters!
