Saturday would have been columnist Mike Royko's 77th birthday. Royko was a lifelong Chicagoan and has been lauded in these pixels before for his satire, wit, writing and general journalistic awesomeness.
Although he might have retired had he lived past 1997, I think the chances are good he would have come out of mothballs and warmed up a keyboard for things like former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's impeachment and possible trial. There's some things you can't let pass you by.
I expect that in Mike Royko's vision of heaven, the typewriters never jam.
