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.

Today I don't seem capable of saying anything, as if I ever say anything worthwhile. Perhaps the grind of typing forgettable witticisms to an audience of three servers and a drunk is wearing me down. Perhaps the notion -- and I wish I could find where on the Web I saw this -- that bloggers are capable of little more than sarcasms and cynicism has gotten to me. But an age is hardly noble that has Dubyas for leaders and DONALDS as heroes, and all manner of fifth-rate egomaniacs providing its "art." Perhaps it's the weather -- gray and gloomy as I feel now. I wish there were something better than blogging to nobody, but for the moment, it's all I have.
