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.

News isn't news when we don't report it.

(a) Sense of Congress- It is the sense of Congress, consistent with the 9/11 Commission's recommendations, that.... [Emphasis and righteous furious OVEREMPHASIS added]
I don't like the wimps who think up the Democratic foreign policy schemes, and yes this sort of screwy thinking infects the whole party. But this is, in so many words, JUST CONGRESS'S OPINION. It is NOT binding law. But turn the BLOGGERS OF THE MILLENNIUM and the LITTLES and the HUGH THREESEATS loose and you have a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS!!!!!!!!!!
I HATE SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGABLOGGERS!!!!!
