One of my fave Tony Award nominated actresses is hitting a milestone birthday today.  Sanaa McCoy Lathan was born on this date in New York City in 1971.

Her father is director Stan Lathan and her mother was a Broadway actress who once performed with Eartha Kitt

I've loved her ever since I saw her in The Wood and her breakout movie Love And Basketball, and mark any film she's in as a must add to my DVD collection. 

Happy milestone birthday Sanaa Lathan, and may you have many more.

He's had a more stressful than necessary month leading up to it no thanks to the Republifools playing games with our debt ceiling and putting our AAA credit rating at risk, but today is the big 5-0 birthday for President Barack H. Obama!  

His enemies on the left and right still hate him, but yet he still rises, survives and thrives as he continues to outflank, outsmart, and outstrategize them while continuing to do what's right for the country.


Happy 50th birthday Mr. President!.    May you celebrate many more as a resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and the 44th president of the United States of America.
