Rev. Charles Peters celebrates:Peters basked in the attention of his proteges at his 80th birthday party. But true to form, he had a rain dance, too. Journalists should stop being such elitists. Rather than grumbling about how hard it is to make ends meet on $100,000 and envying the people who make $1 million, they should identify with the American middle class and its struggles. Good journalism, in the Peters version, is still about making powerful people uncomfortable. And about saving your soul. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEN! [Last word added]
And how many of his proteges have trouble making ends meet on their six-digit salaries -- and how many of them have learned to stop envying others?

Romy too much?)
