Happy Birthday Nelson Mandela

Today marks the 90th birthday of former South African President Nelson Mandela, a leader for civil rights and democracy, political prisoner of nearly 30 years and one of the main proponents in ending Apartheid. (No, President Bush, Mandela was not killed by Saddam.) Let’s hope the Black Pimpernel stays around a while longer.
