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.

When Fox wanted to shoot scenes on the bridge last fall for its feature film "Stay," starring Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts, the New York Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting had one answer: No problem.
Translation: frozen zones, noise day and night, intrusive lighting, sidewalks blocked, tempers frayed, laws broken, tax revenues going to Japip, and more invites for more disruptive shoots, and jackasses like EDDIE saying, "I'm proud to host more TV and movie production than any other ward -- MUNICIPALITY in America! More TV and movie production means more jobs for more bellhops and janitors and maids and busboys -- more high-paying jobs for a NEW AMERICA!"

And so blogging, the POPEYE MUSCLES of DEMOCRACY, comes down to THIS:
Frankly, there are few things in this world more dreary to me than the endless musings, gushing and reminiscences of a teenaged girl. I had certain, er, motivations to listen when I was 15. I have none now. As the guy-saying goes: "Hey, if I cared I'd be a chick." Or, as my son said as he scrolled through the thousands of words and dozens of entries of one girl's blog, "Blah, blah, blah. She hates her life. Blah, blah. Shut up."
No, I don't think there'll ever be two Webs segregated by sex. No, it will always be the same old unitary Web, run by illiterates and GET-A-LIFERS.

What is today? ANOTHER paragraph to make the mind wander:
A recent poll of more than 33,000 car shoppers conducted by CarMax, Inc. on the company's Web site shows that 33 percent of car purchasers do not pay careful attention to their car purchase paperwork. Conversely, 67 percent of consumers say they pay very careful attention to the paperwork.

A paragraph solely designed to make the mind wander:
Even if minimum wages don't affect employment at all, about five out of every 100 studies will, for unavoidable statistical reasons, appear to show a significant effect. If you could read all 100 studies, that wouldn't be a problem—95 conclude the minimum wage is pretty harmless as far as employment goes, five conclude it's a big job-killer, you realize the latter five are spurious, and you draw the appropriate conclusion. But if the 95 studies that found no effect were deemed uninteresting and never got published, then all you'd see were the spurious five. And then the next year, another five, and the next year another five.
Huh? Where am I?
Figures the guy's an ECONOMIST.

From the length and verbosity of its latest excuse (and the fact it's slow to publish one of my posts again) we can assume GoogleBlogger will be dysfunctional for some time. Is this why the much vaunted IP000,000,000,000,000 has been held up -- because Blogger is an anchor on Google's zillion-dollar profit potential?

Perhaps it says something that all those wacko leftists have made P. R. MIKE into the GOD of LIE$, but it says something too that moviegoers are staging a VIRTUAL BOYCOTT of MICKEYMOUSE NIXON'S APOLOGY. Having already insulted their intelligence, he compounds his problem with a phony mea culpa. They KNOW, more than MICKEYMOUSE NIXON knows. This is but another superfluous indication that NIXON DESTROYED HIS COMPANY'S "FAMILY FRANCHISE" and has thrown away any right to be BELIEVED, other than by the always supercredulous SHOW-BIZ NEWS HACKS.

[L]ooking at any of Brando's performances now, it is possible to see how highly stylized they are. Take his Stanley Kowalski, which, at the time, seemed so spontaneous and intuitive one thought he was making it up as he went along (Brando did, indeed, improvise a lot of his own lines but not those). His approach to that character now seems almost as mannered to the present generation as, say, Barrymore's snorting Hamlet did to the generation of the '40s. Every age believes it has reached the ultimate truth in acting when it has only achieved the ultimate in its own style.
OR:
No age or condition is without its heroes. The least incapable general in a nation is its Cæsar, the least imbecile statesman its Solon, the least confused thinker its Socrates, the least commonplace poet its Shakespear.
