Ths must just be a good birthday week. We follow up yesterday's stellar list of b-days with one of the greatest golfers of all time, a beloved TV dog, film stars, ballers, Charles Kuralt and that assbag Bill O'Reilly. Personally, I'd like to see each of these men get a chance to punch O'Reilly in the nuts. That's what I would want for my birthday.
