Dear Auntie Jane:
When I heard from my momma that today was your birthday, I ran into our living room to give my FDL teddy bear that you sent to me a smooch, and to sing it happy birthday. Sure hope you heard me -- I was singing very loudly (and mostly on key, bright girlie that I am).
I'm sorry that mean old Joe Lieberman threw you out of his party yesterday. What a doodyhead. Didn't he know that it was your birthday today? I hope that you and your doggies have a good day, and get lots of time to play and eat cake.
I like cake. I'm sending you a picture from my very first birthday and the first time I ever tasted frosting. Nummy!
Have a happy, happy birthday. Give Kobe a smooch please, and have some cake from me today. (Momma and I have been talking a lot about cake non stop ever since she mentioned it was your birthday. I think I'm wearing her down, and I sense a piece with lots of frosting in my future.)
XOXO, Fi

Happy birthday, Jane - tons of wishes for a wonderful year for you.

Happy Birthday, Jane!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE!
Jane, a note from Fi. Luckyduck.
So, you’re a Leo, huh?
Never would have guessed that!
I’m spending mine on Sunday in Pascagoula, MS for some Katrina relief.
Anyone down there need anything from Atlanta?
Anne at 8 — I look at this picture now, and I marvel at how tiny she was back then. *sniffle* They sure do grow up quickly, don’t they?
Happy Birthday to Jane.
That’s a beautiful baby, too.
(where can I find the story of Jane and Spaceboy getting kicked out of a “Democratic” campaign rally?)
Jim at 13 — Jane’s working something up for today. You can’t rush art. *g*
Wow … Fiona said it all!
Happy Birthday Jane!
Aren’t we lucky we have you around!
Happy Birthday, Jane!
It will be a memorable one with all the muck you’re raising in Connecticut!
Happy Birthday Queen Jane
Happy birthday you bitter left-wing extremist taking down Republican/Democrats like Joe Lieberman who still has so many lives to sacrifice for this country aside from his own all while I wonder just how long one sentence can possibly be.
And stuff like that.
Jane,
Feliz compleanos,
BC
Have a fitz-o-licious, nedtacular, rape-gurney-chasin’ b-day, doll!
Oh, and if they had a Cute Overload site for humans, that pic of the peanut would be front & center.
Happy Birthday, Jane! Cake…Yuuuuum…
De-lurking to wish you the best possible birthday, Jane. Love you.
Happy, happy Birthday to Jane! What a perfect little peanut, Christy.
(Doodyhead, indeed– LOL!!!)
Happy Birthday Jane!
What a beautiful baby picture and the story that goes with it.
Happy birthday, Jane, with best wishes.
Christy:
That’s not a peanut, it’s a twinkle star!
Beautiful…
Oh, Fiona! Thank you! I completely forgot it was my birthday until Pach called me at noon. The poodles were quite self-absorbed this morning and into their own thing and did not mention it.
Thank you so very much. Am hoping to spend it with Maura, Ned, Tom Swan and others tonight at the Connecticut Choice Voice event.
Until then, we BLOG!!
Wow, what a cutie — green frosting !!
Hi, Fi!!
Happy, happy natality, Jane.
Never easy, the first birthday after a parent’s passing. As you celebrate without your mom for the first time, Jane, please know many, many, many hold you in high regard — and that, today, we thank your mom, on your birthday, for bringing us you!
Happy birthday, Jane!
Ooo, cool! I had no idea! Happy Birthday, Jane!
Senator Ned Lamont would look real good with a ribbon and a card.
second that, Teddy.
Happy Birthday Jane.
Happy Birthday, Jane - will the poodles be eating cake?
Happy Birthday Jane! Off in CN doing work on behalf of the Republic… We’re celebrating with you, and thankful for you.
CHS - The Peanut is a cutie!

Happy Birthday, Jane!!!
May your present be 70% Ned Lamont victory on August 8th!!!
Happy Birthday.
In Lamont news, I found this in a diary on Kos:
“Howard Stern and Co. spent 5 minutes trashing Joe Lieberman this morning. Baba Booey, the only CT resident on the show, said that he would be voting for Ned Lamont in the primary. Howard’s radio show reaches a few million people on Sirius Satellite Radio, many of who are in NY and southern CT.
Howard attacked Lieberman for his advocacy of censorship on TV and radio, as well as his cheerleading of the war. Anyone else hear it? Good stuff it was.
This race is getting a whole lot of attention.”
Christy -
Is that Fiona’s first post?:) That’s a cute picture of her!
Happy birthday, you Jane Hampshire of the Left!
Happy BDay, Jane!
.
Christy at 12 - had the same feelings looking at my older daughter in the wedding dress she’s decided on. One day, they’re covered with icing, and what seems like the next day, they’re getting married…thought I was handling it well, but found a huge lump in my throat and trouble getting out the words as I looked at her, just glowing…
Best wishes and birthday hugs, Jane.
Oh that’s so sweet! Happy Birthday Jane!
For she’s a jolly good FDL’r! Happy Birthday, Jane!
And Fiona, you are adorable!
Happy Birthday Jane!
Glad we were able to remind you to take a moment to celebrate.
Dr. Bong wishes Jane a most excellent b-day!
Now back downstairs to look for more doobage.

He’s my paternal grandfather, born this day in 1870.
I hope Jane can clarify for us exactly what The Ex-President said. Some outlets quote him as saying that the Iraq War is the “elephant in the room,” while others quote BigDog as calling it “the pink elephant in the room.”
I remember pink elephants from Dumbo (”pink elephants on parade”) but am unsure if that’s what Bill meant…..
In celebration of Jane’s birthday (and since I don’t know where to send flowers and pumpkin chocolates) I’m heading over the our ActBlue page to send a little something to Ned’s campaign in honor of Jane. Anyone else care to join in?
http://www.actblue.com/page/blueamerica#9354
As we say in 日本五 お誕助美 おめでとう ございます
Jane - your horoscope for today, from astrology.com:
Christy, the evidentiary record before this court is so strong that the minor in question has inherited her mother’s straight-ahead, take-no-prisoners, kick-ass-with-a-*g* character that opposing counsel simply has no case to the contrary.
WOWF!
TeddySF - “pink elephants”, from when I was a kid, was a reference to a bad drunk’s hallucinations during alcohol withdrawal…
It’s also the Birthday of three other fabulous women: Barbara Harris, Annie Ross and Illeanna Douglas.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JANE!
That’s not a miner, that’s a peanut!!!
Aren’t pink elephants the imaginary things drunks see? Big difference from “elephant in the room”.
Happy Birthday Jane!
May you have peace and good health in your new year.
Well, Stephen, we of the world thank your family for its magnificent gift to us 136 years ago!
Happy Birthday Jane!!!
Leos in the Hizzouse!!!
Happy Birthday Jane!
Fiona’s a cutie. That picture reminds me of my grand-peanuts who live in another state. I miss them (sniff…)
Jane and Speceboy posted a video at Huffingtonpost on their ejection from Leiberman event. Very funny!
How about a few more 7-25 birthdays?
1840 - Flora Adams Darling, founder of the Daughters of the American Revolution
1924 - Frank Church (Sen-D-Id), for whom the famous “Church Commission” was named, which led to the enactment of FISA
1948 - Steve Goodman, the late folksinger from Chicago, best known for writing “The City of New Orleans” (after riding along the train for a Muskie campaign event)
Another notable event of 7-25:
1775 - Maryland issues currency depicting George III trampling Magna Carta
Great,
Now Ive got the munchies.
AND, cottonmouth.
Man it’s been a long time.
ecoast @ 67 - you gotta linky?
Happy Birthday, Jane! You share a birthday with my late grandfather — another terrific soul.
Thanks for FDL and everyone you’ve brought together — it’s a remarkable community.
Whoo-hooo, another Leo! Happy, happy birthday, Jane!
I’m still trying to find some time to get up to Connecticut, dammit.
Happy Bday Jane!
Present!
Happy Birthday, Jane!! Our Founding Mothers and Fathers are smiling down on you. Thank you so much for your great work!
Maxfield Parrish– Happy Birthday and RIP and thanks for that reminder, Stephen Parrish, CPA. Everytime I see you post, I am reminded of his tremendous talent and his use of color that is his signature and legacy.
ecoast:
I just watched it too. That was hilarious.
happy birthday jane!
for your birthday, i am sending you this very addictive and time-zapping link, an amazing video blog from new york indie radio legends wfmu:

thanks for all you do & thanks for fdl!
Happy Birthday Jane - try not to get arrested today ;)
Happy Birthday, Jane! You share a birthday with Ms. Redshift, another strong, outspoken woman!
Stephen Parrish -
Whoa, that’s quite a pedigree. You must have many stories to tell about your grandad - his art is so special to me.
Jane! Happy birthday, birthday girl!
I know what you want for your birthday, but you’re going to have to wait two more weeks for it. And you KNOW that we’re all trying real hard to make sure your present is EXACTLY what you’ve been dreaming of!
Heehee…I can’t believe it’s only 2 weeks away!
Happy Birthday Jane!

Happy Birthday Jane !!
What a sweet pea -nut little Fiona is.
Green frosting mmmmmm yummy ….
wOOt! Happy Birthday Jane. Does that make you 32, or 33?
Happy Birthday, kid.
Happy Birthday Jane
Happy Birthday, Jane. The more hell you raise, the better off we all are.
Is there a backdoor linky to that vid somewhere, siun? I can’t get the one on HufPo to play.
OT– cspan2 replaying Greco (from the ABA) interview from this morning.
re: the video… I particularly like the re-enactment where Jane plays Spazeboy!
Lotus, try this link for the vid…

Sometimes I have a real hard time believing what I see on CNN’s crawl. Sez there some jockey’s been fined for head-butting his horse. Now there’s a toopid jockey.
Happy Birthday Jane. Have a great time in CT helping to take back our country one state at a time.
May our thoughts also remember the brave woman who this day delivered a dynamo to the world. She is well remembered and with each act of true patriotisim, Jane, her memory is burnished a little brighter.
Bonne Fte Jane!
Happy birthday Jane, do something special for yourself today!
lotus — if you have ad.doubleclick.net blocked, it won’t play. I had to turn that off before the video part of the page would even show up.
OldCoastie -
That reinactment was really cute; Jane is so relaxed and funny!
MUST SEE link from siun AT 10:37
Spazeboy, did you get the cop’s badge number? I suspect someone filed a false report with him that you were a troublemaker. It’s likely he made a note of it. You definitely want to try and find him and find out who in Joe’s campaign basically filed a false police report.
Boy are they afraid– but they RECOGNIZE the opposition by face. I would have been hopping mad as a registered dem in CT– steam must have been pouring out of Spazeboy’s ears. whew.
Great video and love the hat, Jane!
lotus 38, honey, is there any left? I could use a change of perspective!
Jane, Luke sends greetings to Kobe and joins me in singing the lambie birthday song:
Hippo Birdy, two ewe
Hippo Birdy, two ewe
(imagine cute drawings of animals singing)
Hippo birdy, dear Jane Hamsher of the venemous rabid lambs of the left,
Hippo Birdy, two ewe.
Fi - another gorgeous ReddHedd! Luke likes his cake with no frosting. Can you imagine?
Happy birthday, Jane! Hope it’s fabulous in every way.
Christy, love the pic. Quite the adorable little peanut you’ve got there.
Stephen, I’ve got a print of one of your grandfather’s pieces (Dark) up in my cubie at work. Like angie, I love his use of color.
And happy birthday to my friend Allison, wherever she may be today.
Happy BD Jane.
I’m sending a virtual bottle of Sonoma County Champagne. Save it for the Ned victory!
Thanks for trying, Jenny, but that takes me back to the same sitch: the HufPo page all right, but on it just a long gray “table with real short legs”-looking thing (like the bracket character lying down on the job), and no button or anything to click.
Oh well, betcha we’ll have our own YouTube of it later, so I’ll just wait for that.
Birthdays are for diving into the pudding head first. Enjoy your day!
lotus, that sucks. Yeah, I’m sure Jane will post it here very soon. :)
De-lurking to join in the best birthday wishes to Jane, from one of the rabid lambs
Wow great vid. What a coupla cuties.
So, if they were spazeboy and Jane’s tickets, provided under their own SSN, how could entrance be denied? The LieberTroopers have some ’splaining to do — as do the COPS if they helped.
I gotta say, Jane, I hope you, spazeboy, and the Float are obeying all traffic laws for the next 2 weeks, because it seems like Mr. PoPo is working for RGJoe!
Great video (did I say that already?) oh, and happy brithday!!!
lotus, if you saw how bratty the horse was acting, or if you’ve ever had an experience with a bratty horse, you’d probably feel it was much ado about nothing. Trust me when I tell you that if your horse does not know who’s in charge, you are at the mercy of a 1,000 lb animal, which, if out of control, can kill you.
I just sent a little something to Ned to celebrate Jane’s Birthday … let’s make it an FDL party:
http://www.actblue.com/page/blueamerica
Oh I know, Anne, one nearly did once. (I been kinda strange ever since.)
And yes, Mommybrain, it’s coming right around — Christy passed, but it was between Teddy and Bong last I saw, and you know they’re generous.
Grandma J, amen. Happy birthday, Jane, and thank you for having such drive and determination. And for being so funny. ;0)
joyeux anniversaire, Jane!
Hey guys,
I just posted my write-up here. I’m pretty sure Jane will link it later, but readers of the comments section of this post will get first crack at it.
Also, I have a YouTube version of the same video at this link for those of you having trouble with the HuffPo version.
http://www.spazeboy.net/2006/07/access-denied/
OT and fyi–Eugene Robinson and others are saying the mystery rethug Dana was talking about is Michael Steele.
Happy Birthday to Jane from Jade and Q. My 2 boy Standard
Poodles.
TEddy,
Q. what’s a college student’s favorite word?
A. Ear.
Q: Ear?
A: Sure. (Gestures: longish inhale) ‘ere (handing something over while holding breath)
Much better with visuals.
lotus said you’d share?
Hooray spazeboy!
Oooooh, horses. I love horses. My very first love — and I did better with horses that my husband. Oh well. And bratty horses are fearful horses. I rode horses since I was 10. Taught my daughter to ride and now 2 of my granddaughters.
Sorry, I went astray there for a bit - this is Jane’s thread.
Happy Happy Birthday
to all the boys and girls
— and those slightly older.
de-lurking to say, “Happy Birthday, Jane”.
And Christie, love the letter from the peanut and the photo. So cute.
Just reading Spazeboy’s write-up now, and it occurs to me that Bill Clinton should be made aware of the fact that democrats WITH tickets, who came to see him, were turned away, tix grabbed from their hands.
I think his office might have something to say about that.
Joe through Jane out of his party? Dayum. Is Jane planning to blog about that today?
Happy Birthday, Jane!
angie - Michael Steele??? Good God, if that gets out - and it’s true - that is going to hurt him big-time in his run for Paul Sarbanes’ Senate seat here in MD. Will keep my fingers crossed that it is true.
Steele has tried to maintain the illusion that he is not joined at the hip with Bush and Co., but that’s pretty hard for him to maintain, as he’s had Rove and Cheney and others raising money for him.
mommybrain:
‘ear!
I wuz bogartin’ it.
Hmmmmmmm… Twinkies!
:-)
Preview is my friend. “THREW”.
Much love to you on your birthday, Jane.
You are an inspiration! I sure hope you have a lovely day.
For a chuckle - Colbert on Jesus’ return via raw story:

Happy Birthday, Jane!
Otanjoubi Omedetou -in Japanese
Spazeboy — dont forget to use the word “LieberTroopers” in your write-up!
GREAT WORK AGAIN, spazeboy and Jane! Spaze, you’re a fine storyteller in all media, I now know — much thanks for that link!
Anne– here’s the exchange:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Arlington, Va.: To go off-topic, why was Dana Milbank allowed to provide political cover to the mystery Republican Senate candidate, so said candidate could bash the Bush administration? If said candidate (blogosphere says Michael Steele) would go on the record with his problems with standing with Bush when he disagrees with him on certain things, I’m sure the voters in said state would appreciate the candor, and might even pick up a few undecided voters. But the mystery candidate is a big chicken, and The Post should be ashamed for publishing that article.
Eugene Robinson: Another moment of relief — this time, genuine comic relief. Dana Milbank’s piece this morning was indeed an interview with a mystery Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate who is running in a heavily Democratic state and basically trying to conceal the fact that he is, indeed, a Republican. I imagine there was a lot of discussion on the National desk about the piece. I don’t know for a fact who it was, but my money is on Steele.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....01161.html
OMG spazeboy that reenactment was too funny! Don’t let those tyrants get ya down, you’re fighting the good fight and WINNING!
That’s right Jenny…..and maybe he can make it up to them in some way.
ccmask -
I think Clinton would be incensed; it reflects VERY poorly on him. Well, at least he should know about it.
