Happy Birthday, E. R. Shipp! Congratulations to a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist whose insightful columns on race and social issues have made us laugh, reflect—and occasionally squirm uncomfortably in our chairs since 1996. Your powerful commentary has been cutting through societal absurdities like a hot knife through butter; forget cake candles today—let’s just set ablaze the heap of misconceptions you’ve brilliantly dissected over your impressive career.On this special day, cheers to many unforgettable moments spent shedding light with wit and humor where others feared to tread! May each birthday remind you that aging gracefully means continuing to comfort the afflicted…and afflicting everyone else comfortable enough not paying attention.
