What a bunch of Yankee Doodle Dandies! Neil Simon, Ann Landers, Louis B. Mayer, Gina Lollobrigida, Calvin Coolidge, Malia Obama, George Steinbrenner, Rube Goldberg and Stephen Foster were all born on the Fourth of July.

Yep, quite a group there. If you can correctly identify them all, you must be as old as I am. Either that, or you know your celebrity history.

Calvin Coolidge is the only president to be born on the July fourth, so far, but John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe all chose this day to die.

My nephew Tyler John was born today, on the third. I’m thinking that’s close enough, so I’m starting his campaign now: Vote for Tyler in 2032!

OMG! That’s a scary-looking number, isn’t it? But that’s the first election year he’ll be eligible to run, and I’m already looking forward to it!
