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.

FAST-ACTIN' BLOGGERS OF THE MILLENNIUM get around to Artie Shaw -- a week after his death. They'd have been on top of it if he'd been some sort of country rocker. Why do I think whenever SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGERS write this way they're slumming, like George "MY BUSINESS IS MY BUSINESS" Will voiding his execrable pop-culture columns? Oh well, at least these guys admit to their ignorance, and their hearts are in the right place.

I MUST STOP CONCENTRATING ON OTHERS' BLOGS AND SIMPLY DO MY OWN.

P. S. I've been listening to Sony BMG's absurdly overpriced and underpackaged five-disc anthology, and the music's good -- it's very, very good -- but be prepared for a little pretension. Oh well, with that licorice stick he was entitled to his licks.
