Happy birthday John!

Prime Minister John Winston Howard turns 67 today. He looks really fit and intellectually at his full strength - more like someone likely to fight on for a fifth term than someone about to retire as an aged pensioner.

If JWH stayed on and completed another term he would be 71 - the age that Robert Gordon Menzies retired as PM.

I am sure everyone in the blogosophere wishes John a happy birthday. But lest anyone should inadvertently forget: Happy birthday John from the blogosphere!

JWH and her send their thanks Homer and offer the prospect of a Queen's Birthday Honour in 2007 if you will cut out the terrible puns in the leadup.
