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.

College just started. You're assigned a bland dorm room with wood paneling. You barely have enough money for shampoo, let alone fancy decor. What do you do?
If you're Pop reader Taylor T., you turn to mustaches.
"My roommate and I wanted to spice up our dorm room, and we share a love for mustaches, so when we saw these wall graphics we knew we had to have them!" she says. "We chose to place them on our mirror, but they could really go anywhere. They're cheap ($5 for four) and can be found at www.one-updesigns.com."
Thanks for the tip, Taylor -- and good luck this year. Dorm life is tough, mustaches or not.
And here's the picture:
I wonder...how would THIS guy look with a painted-on mustache?
God I'm tired of posting that mug but HE IS GANNETT!
P. S. No aspersions to Taylor T., it's just that the heirs of THE GUY WITH THE MUSTACHE don't like their readers very much.
