Happy Birthday C-SPAN

Policy wonks and political geeks worldwide are celebrating the 25th Anniversary of C-Span's first broadcast on March 19, 1979. That day, the inaugural broadcast was a speech by Al Gore, described in this article as "characteristically wooden."

C-SPAN, happy birthday. You have brought joy to my life, and sleep when I needed it.

That's when it began: we got to hear how boring it can be for a journalist to hear the same stump speeches over the course of months.
