I know more than you.
I make lots more money 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.

A day after Google's buggy censorship of sites for Chinese-users was revealed, the search giant has responded by fixing its filters so topics such as beer and jokes are no longer deleted.
An investigation published Thursday by CNET News.com showed that Google's new China search engine not only censored criticisms of the Chinese government, but went further than similar services from Microsoft and Yahoo by targeting sites related to teen pregnancy, alcohol, dating and homosexuality.
So! Brin and Sergey are more totalitarian capitalist than the Chinese! Who knows! You might run the PARTY someday -- unless, that is, your stock's worth $10 million a share.
P. S. Congress is having a hearing. That should be a RED-letter day for the CIA of Mountain View -- provided it shows up.
This may go away, but not before February 16.
P. P. S. The ZILLIONAIRE IDIOT Sergey has learned how to show-offishly bang his head on a wall. Sorry JERKS, we KNOW your NAMES now. You're the BUGMEISTER BILLS of SEARCH.
