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.

Hmmm. And the story goes on:
In case you’ve steered clear of movie theaters this summer, or have succeeded only in “Finding Nemo,” here’s a rundown of the season’s cars on film:
--Cadillacs and other General Motors vehicles storm through “The Matrix Reloaded.”
--All variety of imports, modified virtually beyond recognition, set a very bad example in “2Fast 2Furious.”
--Modern Mini Coopers reprise their role as getaway cars in the remake of 1969’s “The Italian Job.”
--A carload of mutants go on the lam in a Mazda RX-8 in “X2: X-Men United.”
--A Toyota Tundra holds its own against a fleet of emergency vehicles and a crane under the murderous command of a terminatrix (who — when not traveling through time — occasionally slums it in a Lexus SC 430) in “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.”
And what do nearly all these movies have in common? Either they've bombed or done disappointingly at the box office.
Think there's a connection,
JACK?
