Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on March 01, 1970)

Happy birthday to Neal Pollack, America's favorite literary troublemaker! From skewering cultural absurdities in "The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature" to hilariously navigating fatherhood's quirks and chaos in "Alternadad," your wit remains sharper than ever. May this year bring you even more satirical brilliance—and fewer awkward parenting moments.

Your fearless dive into global mischief with "Beneath the Axis of Evil" proves that no topic is safe from your comedic genius. Here's hoping today brings plenty of cake, laughter, and inspiration for future masterpieces—because let's face it: satire ages better than most writers do. Cheers to another irreverent trip around the sun!
