Happy birthday, Bret Manley!

Manley, Rep. Jeff Denham’s (R-Calif.) legislative director, turns 29 today.

To commemorate his special day, a couple of his dearest friends decided to indulge his love of streamers — and hatred of using his car — by covering it with streamers in such a way that he can’t open the door to operate it. Oh, those wacky kids.

Last we heard, Manley hadn’t yet seen the birthday mess that is his car. Have fun tonight, Bret!
