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.

I have this horrible feeling that tomorrow's SECOND COMING will go overtime. If it does, and especially if it goes double or triple, and "WE" win, that means riots. The SUPER BORE has not traditionally inspired big mass crime, in part because it's so often been a blowout, and because it's scheduled on Sunday night, and people do have to work the next day. Of course I was wrong about rioting in Detroit for the ATTITUDINAL BASKETBALL LEAGUE's championship, and Bostonians have taken their alleged dynasty in stride. But fans who've been without a FIX for so long, and who have famously booed Santa, may be capable of anything.
