Happy Birthday, Marion Barry!

Today is Marion Barry's birthday. The Ward 8 D.C. Council member and former mayor turned 73 today. To celebrate, he's getting out of the hospital. D.C. Wire reports that Barry was released from Howard University Hospital for the second time this afternoon following kidney transplant surgery two weeks ago. Barry was first released on Feb. 27, but was readmitted Monday night after doctors discovered air pockets near his new kidney. Happy Birthday, Councilman! If you're allowed to eat cake now, we hope you get to have some.
