President Barack Obama was born on this day in 1961, The Year of The Ox – just like me! Have an awesome Birthday, Mr. President and don’t let those lunatic-fringe-dwelling Birthers get you down!

Muppets and Their Mad Men Counterparts
Oscar the Grouch is Don Draper
Are you watching Mad Men? Oh my god, it is the best show. I was a little late to the game on this one, but after attending an in-person taping of Saturday Night Live last fall, hosted by Mad Men star Jon “what a babe” Hamm, I was intrigued enough to add season one to my Netflix queue. Season two was released on DVD a few weeks ago and I’m presently just three episodes way from being all caught up – in plenty of time for season three to start on August 16th! I am so excited, I can hardly stand it. Indeed, everyone seems to be mad for Mad Men! In fact, Flavorwire has just posted this very clever pictorial, 10 Muppets and Their Mad Men Counterparts, “Because the preschool set needs more martinis.” Hee! Enjoy!
Happy Birthday, Martin Atkins!
Martin Atkins of Pigface, Public Image Ltd and Killing Joke, among many others, was born on this day, August 3rd, in 1959. I’ve interviewed Martin a few times in my career and he is such a character; so very candid and full of great road stories! Here’s a Link to and interview we did together from way back in 2003! Happy Birthday, Martin!
