Happy Birthday, Gene! The man who turned "Below the Beltway" into Pulitzer gold—twice. You’ve made us laugh till we cried and think even when we'd rather not.Your stories have become legendary (and somewhat infamous): from hilariously dissecting mundane daily life to brilliantly chronicling human absurdities. Every reader secretly wonders what trouble you'll stir up next!
May your birthday bring fewer deadlines, more punchlines—and perhaps another prestigious award that's easier to pronounce after champagne. Keep delighting us all by proving journalism can be seriously funny and wonderfully profound at once. Here's wishing you a fantastic year ahead!
