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.

Here's another problem with blogging: you get so caught up in the CW you get sucker-punched by the facts. I still submit THE GAMES are the biggest overhyped non-event this side of THE INFOMERCIALS, and it will be a relief not to hear of them again for another 30 months (or the INFOMERCIALS for four years); but after all the trash-talking and bad-mouthing, as a spectacle they seem to have come off well (they'd better have for all the money wasted), and Dave Barry speaks for all of us who have every right to be ashamed at our lock-step caterwauling.

My heart hasn't been in posting these last few days, and this is a good reason why.
