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.

Today after having waited patiently for five months I got my BD copy of Sleeping Beauty for the player I'll probably get months from now (along with a BD copy of How the West Was Won -- the one with the Cinerama "smilebox"), and ESPNCORP packaged it in a holograph-redolent reflective slipcase that no matter how you hold reflects back twenty of you -- and I'd rather not have to look at twenty of me on the best days. Oh well, I guess it's all about the marketing -- and the ESP is all marketing. Way to go UB! Now to wait for the players to go below $200, however many eons that takes.

And to get an HD set.

P. S. One really nice touch: ESP added a bonus SD disc. Next on the BD docket: Pinocchio next spring, followed by Snow White in the fall, it says here.
