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. 3:

And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

"Take St. Louis," he said to a St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter, referring to the new Busch Stadium for the Cardinals being built near the current stadium. "You could make the argument that you are really gaining because those spending dollars are shifting" one neighborhood to another.
You forget, MAYOR BOWTIE, YOUR team moved to one neighborhood from another -- a neighborhood called MONTREAL.
