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.

Some Connecticut players said before Sunday's game they didn't know George Mason's players, coach or team nickname. But then, some of the Patriots don't know much about the man their school is named for.
"I heard somebody say he was the president, but I know he wasn't the president," Tony Skinn said. "I have no clue who he was."
Skinn gave it more thought and came up with a guess: "He was one of those people who signed the Constitution. I know he signed it, but I don't know what else he did."
Actually, Mason was one of three delegates to a federal convention in Philadelphia who did not sign it. Mason wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights, forerunner of the Bill of Rights, and he did not sign the Constitution in part because those rights were not originally included.
RAH! RAH! George...who?
P. S. We now learn the George was a line extension of Jeff's school, meaning HYER EHDYUKAYSHUN will ALWAYS be a boondoggle.
