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.

And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

Eh, we'll call it luck. Pffffffffffffffffffft!
P. S. You have to wonder if "Spygate" hurt. Alas, the Wall Street Casino will be smug tomorrow, as will all those CEOs, torturing the help for months with, "I SAW THE GREATEST GAME IN WORLD HISTORY -- AND YOU DIDN'T!"
You have to wonder, though if the CEOs haven't gone too far by centering all their commercials around USAOKAY!!!!!'S @#$%&* AD METER.
