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.

Well, I'm on DSL today, and it's a little disconcerting after the snail's crawl of the last few years. I think I understand how PROF gets the ENERGY to post 100 times a day -- and I'm sure HE DOESN'T PAY FOR HIS CONNECTION.

I had problems: my computer bloop-bleeped after I put in the Ethernet card (of course I didn't follow directions), but Dell saved me -- it apparently installed the software when it built the computer, so I didn't need the CD. (Thank you, Michael!) And the Creative Broadxent (pronounced broadgzent?) modem is spiffy, but it has a big footprint.

And just as I suspected -- GOOGLEBLOGGER STILL HICCUPS!
