Amazing that both Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born on February 12, 1809, exactly 200 years ago today. Newsweek has an article that talks about the impact both have had on our world. For anyone trying to determine who made the greater contribution (as many of the comments on that article attempt to do), let's just accept it as comparing apples to oranges and leave it at that.
The stimulus issue is in a holding pattern today as the House and Senate decide when to vote on the newly compromised (pun intended) bill.
As far as sharing birthdays go, I happen to share a birthday with former New York Jets running back Curtis Martin (May 1, 1973). He was certainly my most favorite Jet player of all time even before I knew we shared a birthday. This guy was good and helped put the Jets back on the map but I didn't like him as much as his predecessor.
