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.

I wonder what a certain mouth said back in 2005:
The reason we -- Congress passed bankruptcy reform was that all these DEADBEATS were goosing the system so they could avoid paying ANYTHING -- irresponsible people who'd rather hire a lawyer than get a job and WORK, blahblahblah.
This is the last time we imagine what a certain mouth said. It's redundant, and He keeps saying these things anyway.
