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 work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

P. P. S. at 6:55 p.m. Meantime SUMNER has lifted His leg again. I am SICK of making bathroom references to media companies! (No way were we going to post this separately after the Legs news.)
