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.

That thing above is my name -- well, my pen name; I've adopted it for a satiric novel that will never be published. I live alone in Philadelphia (not entirely by choice, on either count) with my cat, whose name is formally Ginger, but whom I call "Sweetie." That's all for me; if you want to learn about someone's private life, I suggest you log on to Andrew Sullivan. I'll stick with politics and culture, typing on in the forlorn desire to be read, knowing that blogging is little more than an electronic Vantage Press without the bills, save for the monthly tithe to the ISP. I can only hope -- not to cut through the clutter, that's impossible; but for someone to stumble over my idle musings, and at least think I'm intelligent, though on the evidence of my life thus far I'd say I'm a born fool.
