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.

Also at my HIP! HEP!! HOT!!! Mickey D's, the help added to the recent renovation by decorating the floor around the soda machine and behind the counter with flattened corrugated boxes. HIP!
P. S. If I were fool enough to call the Mick's customer service line I'd hear, "Well, McDonald's is an international company, and...." MUST I repeat myself?
P. P. S. Is it me or is it the Mick's policy to no longer use trays for eat-in orders? At least it adds to the "40% post-consumer content" in its BAGS.
