Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on May 28, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Rudy Giuliani! To "America's Mayor," who's faced more chaos than a New York subway at rush hour and yet always emerged with his passion intact. Who else can handle city politics, late-night talk shows, and endless debates—with the tenacity only matched by bustling Manhattan traffic?

In all seriousness though—your steadfast courage in guiding NYC through its darkest hours after 9/11 earned you global respect (and rightly so). Here's to celebrating not just your leadership during those historic days but each year you've added humor, wisdom—and possibly some unintended comic relief—to American life ever since!
