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.

TURIN, Italy - We’ve been so busy during the first week of the Olympics chronicling the failures of the U.S. Olympic Team and obsessing over the medal count that we haven’t even noticed the biggest American story of these or any other Winter Games.
Try this on for size: The United States could win.
I’m not talking about winning a speedskating race or a medal in figure skating. I’m talking about the whole darned shooting match.
1. The only GE BANCORP and REALTY employee who is officially cleared to discuss shooting matches is DAVID "JERK" GREGORY. 2. Isn't this obsession with winning medals one possible reason people have been unwatching THE GAMES in droves?
