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.

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

I don't know if Beto's a hard-core Obamacrat but I blame the TWXSTERS, who have their own brand of foot stomping.
P. S. Beto's VERY LENGTHY Wiki entry doesn't mention his party affiliation, so I'd say he is. (He is.)
P. P. S. at 10:28 p. m. Somebody has since changed it.
P. P. P. S. on 6/13 at 11:52 a. m. You should know somebody was me. But somebody else unchanged it because I couldn't prove Beto is a Democrat. I posted another remark on his Wiki page and let the thing pass; to paraphrase LORD KOPPEL, changing a Wiki entry is like popping a pimple on an elephant's behind.
