HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW BREITBART! + ‘24′ Live Blogging Tonight at 9pm PST
by JudeIt’s true that what God gives, He also takes away, and Andrew’s legendary 20’s are now long gone. And I mean long. Gone. I know this because last night I was at a secret celebration in a secret location with people whose names rhyme with Karl Grove, George Boros, Bill Mates, Warren Muppet, the Dali Bama, Rush Scrimshaw, Steve Bobs and other Masters-Of-The-Universe, as they welcomed Andrew into their fold.
Now that he’s a media titan, doesn’t it behoove us all to wish him a Happy Birthday – and to really mean it? I’m kidding, of course – Andrew is the greatest, the center of a million friends, and I know you’ll join me in hoping this is the best year of his life.
The only flaw he may have is that he doesn’t watch enough TV. So, in order to address Andrew’s one media blind spot AND to celebrate him, I am today launching the Andrew Breitbart’s Youth’s Memorial 24 Blog.
We’re hoping for a sponsorship from the annoyingly named Ruth’s Chris Steak House. Otherwise we’ll just go with Big Hollywood 24 Blog. We’re not quite sure how this is going to work, but we’ll figure it out together. After all, it can’t be any more confusing or ridiculous than the plot-lines get in the last few hours of each season… I’ll try to start and then update the post, in kind of an homage/rip-off of Dave Barry’s groundbreaking work on this front. If that’s too difficult, I’ll jump into the comments and see you there. There are lots of great 24 blogs, but this one will be ours, woo-hoo!
I enjoy watching television to make fun of it…so be forewarned that politically incorrect comments are most welcome, and any actors appearing in 24 have put a target of make-funnability on their own heads…
And don’t forget to return here at 9pm PST for my ‘24′ live blog thread.

Have a wonderful B-Day, Andrew “Big Hollywood” Breitbart!
Happy Birthday, Andrew. It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
Thanks for the roast, Jude. And good find on the Azerbaijan photo. I tried to tell Susie that when I got there — knowing almost nothing of the place — I was mysteriously followed by the nation’s entire media establishment asking me what I knew about the place. (I reemphasize: Almost nothing!)
Day 2 of 40: It is only a formality, but it feels like the end of any pretense of youth. 4 kids and the MORTGAGE ended the reality of youth a while back.
I’m sorry to inform everyone but Tom Hanks, Rep. Henry Waxman, Matt Damon, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore (and 56 of their most hopeful celebrity friends) will not be attending tonight’s historic memorial live-blog.
Sorry I won’t be participating. Though I will be lurking, and perhaps offering non-24 comments throughout — like weighing in on my non-youth and other melancholy philosophical abstracts.
Bappy Smurfday Andrew.
Happy B-Day, brother.
H-B-D Andrew – and many, many, many more!
Fitzgerald said; your 30’s “are the decade of thinning hair and thinning friends.”
I say your 40’s are the decade of wishing your were in your 30’s again.
Happy Birthday anyway!
Happy Birthday Andrew!!!! And may the Dodgers get some pitching on your special day!
Happy Birthday Andrew and congratulations on ‘all’ your success. And also thank you for this site. I haven’t been so amused by teh internet in years.
Dear Lodo,
What the hell are you talking about? “Rush Limbaugh; Bill O’ Reilly; Sean Hannity; Dennis Miller, Dennis Prager, and Ann Coulter” ALL are not suppoerted by the NY TIMES, the big three networks (or even the FOX network.)
They are an alternative to the VIACOM, TIME WARNER juggernaut. And anyone that can’t see that LA-based and NYC-based media doesn’t PERFECTLY align with the liberal status quo isn’t worthy of being a commenter on a third rate blog site.
Fight for your values. Uphold the current media order. Even fight for it to become even more left than it is! But don’t insult our intelligence (or display your stupidity) when positing that the above names represent the LA/NYC media axis.
Happy Birthday, Fearless leader.
Thanks for giving us all a virtual cocktail party to share our beliefs… now, excuse me, I need to refresh my martini.
Happy 40th, Breitbart. Loved you from the moment I picked up “H Interrupted.”
And don’t worry, age is just a number.
Lol.
Happy Birthday old guy!
==It’s true that what God gives, He also takes away==
Oh, really??? Where does He say that what He gives, He takes away?
I appreciate AB’s acceptance, albeit tentative, of free expression.
If, as I have heard, 69 is the new 40, Andrew and I are the same age. Who’d have guessed? Happy birthday, boychik.
Cheers, Burt
As someone rapidly approaching Burt’s version of 40, I can say only “Happy Birthday young fellow.” They tend to become more useful as excuses as time goes by.
Happy Natal Day Andrew!!
Compared to some of us you are still a youngin!
Hope year 40 is the best one of your life!
YOU’RE ALL IT AND THEN SOME!!!!!
Andrew, I was a bit bummed to learn that there will be six more weeks of winter, so being able to celebrate the wonderful occasion of your birth redeems the day.
Please, on behalf of this admirer (and many others, I am sure), thank your parents for having you and raising you; that is, if you have a family and were not raised by heartless, feral beasts—that is how one becomes a conservative, is it not:)?
Happy, Happy birthday, young one!
Mr. Incredible – read Job 1:21 “…The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away, Blessed be the name of the LORD.”
Happy Birthday Andrew, and thank you for BH.
Happy Birthday Andrew and I know it sounds trite but 40 is just a number.
BTW Lodo, I would add to Andrew’s already good advice to you is to read the latest study examining the question, “Why are Conservatives happier than Liberals?” Maggie Gallagher over at NRO The Corner points to the article.
Perhaps that will stop you in the future from making gloomy, sad conspiracy laced comments on a perfectly nice blog to wish someone a happy birthday.

Andrew – so when are you going to join the Trilateral Commission? Seriously, I want to thank you for Big Hollywood, a stimulating new website where I spend too much time. Now I have the names of writers, actors, and others whom I can support (rather than simply boycott). Thank you, Andrew, and happy birthday!

“What the hell are you talking about? “Rush Limbaugh; Bill O’ Reilly; Sean Hannity; Dennis Miller, Dennis Prager, and Ann Coulter” ALL are not suppoerted by the NY TIMES, the big three networks (or even the FOX network.)”
They are all VERY mainstream. They are the “false choice.” Just like in the last election, Americans had no real choice. No one to oppose Amnesty. No one to oppose gun control. No one to oppose Israel setting our foreign policy or getting BILLIONS in welfare from US tax payers.
How about some REAL alternative media?

Have a super day Andrew and keep fighting the good fight!
Happy birthday Andrew…my gift to you..hmm..how about increased readership! Because YES WE CAN…oh crap, shoot me now.
James Hudnall – Thanks for calling BH an “alternative voice!” Ironic but true. Who woulda thunk? I’m getting a tingle up my leg!
Andrew!!! HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY!!!! I wrote the date down, made a mental note to wish you HB on the day, and not to let Suberbowlmania overtake me and forget….and I forgot to call you. Dude!!
Anyway… YOU are the man. And Big Hollywood has changed my life. (And time will tell if that’s a positive statement, ha ha…)
Turning 40…hey nothin’ to it. It’s all downhill from here. And look at it this way: You’re not Middle-Aged…if you plan on living to 120.
Just thought I’d cheer you up a little…
[...] No, I don’t know Mr. Breitbart; but I respect what he does, especially him creating BigHollywood.com [...]
My daily dose of Big Hollywood has added much needed enjoyment and entertainment to my life, especially during our lofty commander-in-chief’s pursuit of that nasty little thing we (okay, Sean Hannity) like to call the European socialism stimulus package, tax evasion cabinet criminals, the genuis of closing gitmo, the first TV interview to El-Arabiya, that childless ‘I Won’ comment.. Sanctuary! Oh, that’s right, it’s right here at Big Hollywood! A very happy 40th birthday, Andy! (There.. you feel younger?) God be with you and your family always..
Anita (an ancient 52!!) Miller
Ooops.. I meant to say ‘childISH ‘I Won’ comment.’ The mind is the first thing to go.. Anita Miller
Hey, Andrew…
It was just announced that the Obama administration is going to keep using the tactic of rendition and perhaps expand it. What a great birthday gift for you…not the rendition part, the part that liberals are waking up doing triple double suzie Snoopy cartoon lutzes trying to explain how it’s okay for their man to do it while having to realize there just may be an actual world of bad guys out there. What a day. Thanks for BH!
Happy Birthday Andrew!
Thanks for putting together Big Hollywood and getting some outstanding contributers to write here.

Mr. Incredible – read Job 1:21 “…The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away, Blessed be the name of the LORD.”
———————————————
However…
This is all to be understood of temporal things only; for of spiritual things it cannot be said that God gives and takes away; such gifts are without repentance, and are irreversible, Rom_11:29, the Targum is,
“the Word of the Lord hath given, and the Word of the Lord and the house of his judgment hath taken away… — John Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible
(Rom 11:29) For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
God does not repent, or change, in his purposes of bestowing his gifts on man. What he promises he will fulfil; what he purposes to do, he will not change from or repent of. As he made promises to the fathers, he will not repent of them, and will not depart from them; they shall all be fulfilled; and thus it was certain that the ancient people of God, though many of them had become rebellious, and had been cast off, should not be forgotten and abandoned. This is a general proposition respecting God, and one repeatedly made of him in the Scriptures; see Num_23:19, “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he not said, and shall he not do it? hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Eze_24:14; 1Sa_15:29; Psa_89:35-36; Tit_1:2; Heb_6:18; Jam_1:17. It follows from this,
(1) That all the promises made to the people of God shall be fulfilled.
(2) that his people need not be discouraged or desponding, in times of persecution and trial.
(3) that none who become his true friends will be forsaken, or cast off. God does not bestow the gift of repentance and faith, of pardon and peace, on people, for a temporary purpose; nor does he capriciously withdraw them, and leave the soul to ruin. When he renews a soul, it is with reference to his own glory; and to withdraw those favors, and leave such a soul once renewed to go down to hell, would be as much a violation of all the principles of his nature as it would be to all the promises of the Scripture.
(4) for God to forsake such a soul, and leave it to ruin, would imply that he did repent. It would suppose a change of purpose and of feeling. It would be the character of a capricious being, with no settled plan or principles of action; no confidence could be reposed in him, and his government would be unworthy the affections and trust of his intelligent creation. — Albert Barnes’ Notes on the Bible
There IS more.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Breitbart. Your new Big Hollywood site is my homepage, primarily because I have been a great fan of John Nolte’s for some time. I like the site and enjoy the articles, but I do have to say that the site would much better represent Conservatives if it spend a lot more time being positive about being a Conservative and a lot less time bashing Liberals. Right now it appears even to me that Conservatives have nothing to offer but usually childish criticism of people who do not adhere to the party line. It is tiresome.
One other request. I do not know if John has voluntarily sequested himself behind his enjoyable but bland regular features, but no one I have read on BH writes as well, makes the case as well, is as funny, well-read, and just plan smart as John. He is your best writer. Why not encourage him to be just that. John’s writing would certainnly raise the bar for other contributors who simply mimic each other. John can be scathing while making “the other side” laugh and marvel at the quality of his writing.
So, those couple of suggestions are my gift to you on my birthday. Please say hello to your delightful father-in-law for me. I loved his book and he was one of my mother’s great favorites.
Sheldon Gilman
Well, like many aspects of life, I missed your birthday yesterday, Andrew Breitbart, but I hope you’ll accept these Happy Birthday wishes from me on the day after.
I also missed all the seasons of “24″ and I blame THE SOPRANOS for that.
Andrew, Happy belated birthday. And thank you for showing us mutts in middle America that there are some people that I’d enjoy having dinner with in the Los Angeles entertainment industry!
Happy Birthday and Many More! Cheers!
Happy birthday, Andrew!!!
