I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.

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.

But in late September, he sees prices backing down toward $2.35 to $2.50 for regular unleaded "as long as these refineries get on-line and we do not have further disruptions," he said.
