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.

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.

YES...! [Jonah Goldberg]
I saw the William Shatner Roast last night on Comedy Central. I thought there were moments of true, unbridled hilarity. I also thought it got too blue over time. The gay George Takei jokes just got stale after a while, for example. Alas, I'm back on dial-up today and I have a pile of work to do. So more to come later. I just didn't want 1,000 "Did you see the Shatner Roast ...?" emails to pile up while I wasn't on line.

With any justice it'll be 10,000 emails.
