The start of last year’s 24-hour pub crawl. Lots of smiling faces early on…not so many of them at the end. :)
"The journalists of the United States are generally in a very humble position, with a scanty education and a vulgar turn of mind...the characteristics of the American journalist consist in an open and coarse appeal to the passions of the readers; he abandons principles to assail the characters of individuals, to track them in private life and disclose all their weaknesses and vices. Nothing could be more deplorable." -- Alexis de Tocqueville
