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.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.

"The next day the Calendar said we were the future. Robert Hilburn, that's who it was. You tell old man Hilburn I said he's all right."
TRANSLATION: He could roll logs too.
