I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.

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.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Panicali, the 22-year-old beauty who was the bystander most seriously injured in the blast, was recovering yesterday at her Staten Island home.
Her uncle, a retired undercover cop, described her wounds as hundreds of "tiny but excruciating" paper cuts.
"She's got that all over, with some [glass and wood splinters] so deep they're hard to get out," said the uncle, who didn't want his name used. Hey Dr. Nincompoop, wherever you are (and we suspect it makes today's summer heat seem cool), we hope you're satisfied.
