¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Mike Royko!


AKA Michael Royko.

Born September 19, 1932. Died April 29, 1997.

He was an American journalist and the winner of the 1972 Pulitzer Prize for commentary. I used to read his op-ed columns in a now-deceased local paper when I was growing up. I always admired his tendency to argue on behalf of the underdog and to never give a crooked politico an even break. We could use more journalists like him today but for some reason, I doubt we will get any. However, I would like to hope that I'm wrong about that last part.
