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.

We're surprised we haven't heard more of Tiger's 30th (especially from con-SER-va-tives with those new digs), but we feel almost exactly about him as we do about MJ: he's a great athlete, and a great schmoozer around CEOs -- and in every other particular a cipher. Tiger's much smarter than MJ, and thankfully hasn't been prone to make an ass of himself, but what do most superstar jocks have besides the game? And as the sad dissolution of that soccer "legend" we previously hadn't heard of tells us, there's more to life than the game -- especially when your sporting days are over. Tiger has enough supermoney and bigwig associates that he won't blow it. But couldn't our age produce something more memorable than Dilbertian athletes?
