Zzzzz: WaPo Oddly Promotes Pillow to Night Editor

WaPo has promoted a journalist gloriously named Ben Pillow to night editor — and we’re not even messing around. “URGENT BREAKING APTONYM NEWS!” announced humor columnist Gene Weingarten on Twitter Tuesday afternoon. “The Wapo has just promoted, to a position of night editor, ‘Ben Pillow.'”

But it’s Weingarten, who has a penchant for pile of poop jokes, so we had to double and triple check. Sure enough, the internal memo reveals the irony of all ironies — that Pillow really will be the night editor.
