Happy Birthday, Senator Russ Feingold! It's not every day we celebrate the man brave enough to stand alone—literally—as the only senator courageous (or stubborn) enough to vote 'No' on the Patriot Act. Apparently, you read bills before voting—which is clearly suspicious behavior in Washington!Your commitment alongside John McCain for campaign finance reform showed us that Republicans and Democrats really could agree occasionally—at least when you're both equally annoyed by money in politics. Thanks for staying true to your principles with humor and class. Wisconsin cheese might age well—but your integrity ages even better!
