THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

An article like this would normally be another liberal tantrum of powerlessness (Norm's presence -- he's the Perfesser Thompson of politics -- confirms it); but last time a party had total control of government it was kicked out of Congress a scant two years later, having sleazed over after six decades' rule. Republicans may gloat now, and they have a decided advantage in that the Dems couldn't think their way out of a hole in the ground; but given the puny achievements of total control the last time, we cannot expect much from THEM; and what is more, the Reps are doing exactly the same thing as the Dems did, and while their onanistic dream may not end soon, it can only end (and it will end -- sorry, POWER LINE!!!!!) in crashing corruption.
