THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
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.
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.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

A Christmas tree in Kabul;
A Christmas tree (?) in Hong Kong;
A Christmas tree in Bucharest;
Christmas trees (artificial) in Moscow (Russia being "a strangely difficult place to get a decent Christmas tree", so the caption says);
A Christmas tree at our naval base in Manama, Bahrain;
A Christmas tree in Berlin;
A Christmas tree (?) in Tokyo;
A Christmas tree in Jerusalem's Old City;
A Christmas tree in Madrid (where do they get these ideas?);
A Christmas tree "in the courtyard of the Elysee Palace in Paris";
And if we can find any more today we'll post them. Next year we must do this up brown -- I should say, green. But it would help to have a few more visitors. Anyway,
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
