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 Swiss, in something of a repeat of what the Spaniards did seven years ago in electing a feckless and incompetent government because Osama said so, have been scared by the Fukushima disaster into disowning nuclear power. Thankfully the off-line dates for its current plants are vague and meaninglessly into the future -- plenty of time for a real energy crisis to start, and for the Swiss to rush around like the CHICKENS of Spain with their head-cut-off useless alternatives.

OR:

The nation currently relies on these plants for 40 percent of its energy needs and becomes, as the Journal noted, the second European nation (after Germany) to ditch nuclear energy for now.

In the words of ED MURROW I, good night -- and good luck!
