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.

Which brings me to another topic: BUGMEISTER BILL got excited today because whatever he can do in 32-bit he'll do better in 64-bit. In the center of the twenty-seven universes he rules over he must say every day, "I am the age's EDISON -- and no man has ever caused so much grief with technology bwahahahaha!!!!!" The comparison stops before it starts because Edison invented things, things that worked -- but the comparison isn't entirely inapt as Edison had visions of world domination through show-biz, visions the CODEWRITER of REDMOND has shared in weaker moments. Edison had a movie trust; the Bugmeister has a software trust. Edison made lots of recorded music. The Bugmeister has Windows Media Player. What is left of Edison's entertainment empire? Rotting nitrate stock and forgotten metal parts. Movies and recorded music lived, though they're now unwatchable and unlistenable. What will remain of the GENIUS of MICROSOFT after a dozen permutations of SOFTWARE?
