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.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

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

The bus-'n'-truck-company circuit now includes school kids. It is exasperating to think anybody can write a piece of doggie-doo with a hook and make big bucks on it, but all those eager young thespians have to act in something, anything -- and that something, anything is now such immortalities as Footloose, All Shook Up, Ring of Fire, Seussical and The Wedding Singer -- with such blue-rinse favorites as Legally Blonde on the way. Yes, Shrek will be a hit too. Not every musical is a masterwork but what do the kids gain from staging such mechanized garbage? At least Mickey and Judy (cited here) put on their own show. Imagine what Mamma Mia will do with the no-talents. Unbearable.

Needless to say the licensing king Bye Bye Birdie is doing well on Branson East despite rotten reviews -- and it has a decent score.
