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.

Whatever their symbolism, stories like this make me sad because so many do struggle just to put food on the table. In America no one should have to go hungry. With pluck and a little common sense, no one has to. And junk food, bad though it is for the health, is better than starving.

And that's one thing about this idiot stock speculation that makes me mad: the money either sits on paper or just VANISHES, as it did during the dot-com bust. It usually doesn't buy anything except a need for Prozac.
