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.

Maybe it wasn't all genius on Sunday:The footage of Marian Anderson singing on the same spot back in 1939 was also profoundly moving, but then, returning to the present, who pops up on stage as a contemporary? Ladies and gentlemen, Josh Groban. Ugh....
While Springsteen and Mellencamp used their backup choirs to great effect, I have to say the tableaux of "aging white dude with guitar backed by chorus of blacks" started to get a little bit old right about the time Garth Brooks took the stage, doing a sloppy rendition of "American Pie."...
Then it's time for the moment we've all been waiting for: Irish (but honorary American) combo U2. While most performers managed to contain themselves, despite the emotion of the moment, apparently Bono was a bit confused, deciding that he was being inaugurated....
So, we've seen a nearly unprecedented line-up of celebrities and performers here to celebrate Barack Obama's election. What should we do for a finale? Howabout "Stupid Pet Tricks"? That's right, it's time for "Challenger" and "Mr. Lincoln," the actual names of a couple of trained bald eagles, who, we're told, are "friends." They flap around. Is this supposed to be funny? Maybe it was designed on purpose, to bring us down a bit before Obama's speech, another one on the "things are really bad so everybody please chill" theme. Can't we be giddy for just a day or two?Well, I'm laughing.
