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.

Given there's not ONE PERSON at EITHER COMPANY who can STAND DUBYA'S GUTS (except perhaps GEORGE "MY BUSINESS IS MY BUSINESS" WILL, and he doesn't count because Dubya DESTROYED THE CONSTITUTION with CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM) this is truly MAJOR-LEAGUE KA-CHINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!!!!!!!!!!
P. S.
Others that contributed $250,000 [like THE TWXSTERS] included Bristol-Myers Squibb, ChevronTexaco, Exxon Mobil, FedEx, Pfizer, Aflac, Home Depot and Bank of America. [And ALTRIA MOTIVE, the JUNIOR CLUNKER BROTHER and AT&T too!] Those contributing $100,00 [sic] [like BUFFETTMEDIA] included Qualcomm, SBC Communications, Coca-Cola Co., and Microsof [sic] Corp.
What is this, Dubya or the SUPER BORE?
(Two disadvantages to sponsoring an inauguration: you don't get a luxury suite, and you can't be sure the money goes to finance JUNK TELEVISION -- but you might get an invite to a ball with other high-mucky mucks who can't stand the country, and you can DEFINITELY boom around the office for two months screaming, "I SAW THE PRESIDENT INAUGURATED AND YOU DIDN'T!!!!!")
