Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on March 09, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Michael! From navigating heated debates on CNN's fiery "Crossfire" to being crowned Editor of the Year during your brilliant tenure at Slate, you've consistently shown there's nothing sharper than a Kinsley wit (except maybe your tie choices!). Your ability to slice through rhetoric with humor and intellect remains unmatched—making even opponents laugh their way into agreement.

May your special day be as timeless as your memorable banter, and here's hoping it involves fewer televised arguments but just as many lively discussions. Cheers to more years of eloquence, editorial victories, and that relentless knack for clever comebacks!
