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.

AND:
I quote William Goldman: The Season, 1968:
“Many of the critics who had embraced Hair downtown expressed disappointment with the Broadway version, but many more were convinced that Hair signaled the start of something new. I put this to an astute Broadway businessman. “Will Hair change things?” he answered. “You see those lines they had this morning? You better believe Hair’s gonna change things.” He paused before saying it: “There will now be a spate of sh*tty rock musicals.”
This same chat board alerted me Purina Dog Chow is sponsoring a production of a musical based on 101 Dalmatians. I will not attempt any bad puns as Branson East is well beyond and below it.
It will be playing aptly enough at the WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden, NUF SAID.
