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.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

If nothing else of note had happened in the past 12 months, 2005 would still have been a very good year for jazz. Any year in which John Coltrane supplants Jamie Cullum as a topic of conversation is a very good year indeed.
1. Who's Jamie Cullum? 2. Trane died in 1967.
P. S. Jamie Cullum's some sort of singer. Just because you have 2,390,000 links on G000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000GLE doesn't mean people know your name, or deserve to.
