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.

Well, I went and DID IT: I managed to install a memory card on my computer backwards and blew out the motherboard. WHAT A COMPLETE AND UTTER IMBECILE I AM. This is why I haven't posted in almost two days. Just as well; I can get a new PC that's far more up-to-date, at a reasonable cost, and I don't need a new monitor yet; and I can still salvage my new hard drive, DVD burner and video card, so I'm only out about $100 on the OS and the memory -- and I'm close to deciding on a new machine, so all is not lost.

One other thing: not having to follow the annoying events of the day I feel, almost -- PEACEFUL.
