The clock is ticking before budget negotiators face their midnight deadline on April 9, which, incidentally is Joe's birthday. Joe Scarborough turns 48 tomorrow and joked that a government shutdown would "be the best birthday present ever."

Also celebrating their birthdays on April 9: Dennis Quaid and Jeff Zucker.

Happy birthday, Joe!
