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.

Coming across this picture on Lycos News, I thought to myself, how much better it would be if models could sing, and dance, and act; if they weren't the Ah-NULTs of T & A (very often with neither T nor A), if they didn't speak in numbing monotones, if their formal education weren't limited to poses, if their IQs weren't somewhere between room temperature and a freezer compartment; if they didn't have such blank, vapid stares; in short, if they were prettier, sexier, livelier, and more intelligent than we have a constitutional right to expect models to be.
There's my excuse for putting cheesecake on this blog today.
