Mike Royko, God rest his soul, would have made an excellent carpenter–he was forever hitting the nail right on the head.
And he also had a special knack for placing a mirror in front of his readers in order that they could have a better view of themselves. To wit: The young lady who ran out of gas on the expressway complaining so bitterly about the serviceman taking so long to deliver her some petrol–as if it was his fault that she ran out of fuel late at night.
All Royko ever asked of people was to do their part to help make America a greater country. And certainly that was not asking too much.
