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.

The problem is Halloween turned from a reasonably innocent festival into an industry, and when it turned into an industry it lost its much of charm and sense of humor. (Part of it too was the BOOMERS remaking it into another warped self-conscious excuse to relive their childhood.) Hence the beauty of little kids dressing up in weird costumes was replaced with intolerance and finger pointing, as with much that becomes an industry.

Can't we just forget about politics and let the kids exercise their imaginations?

[I]ts sometimes-dark imagery - and the gory movies and masks that go along with it - mean that some Christian and Muslim families keep their kids at home that day.

I think this merits a special THANK YOU to DR. EVIL!!!!!
