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.

We are starting to wonder if news hacks are SHEENING Japan. You know what SHEENING is. On Cable Nusiance Network HOWIE HAIRSHIRT has opened his rich sanctimonious mouth and worried about PANICKING THE PEOPLE. God knows the situation is bad enough at ground zero. It was therefore refreshing to read The Econowiz, itself a high-priced dispenser of CW, opine that despite all the awful pictures and videos Japan is holding up well under the circumstances. The Internet Age has rewritten "Confucius": A picture's worth a thousand words, and half of them lie. The courage and determination of the Japanese may not be photogenic.

We should keep in mind to except for the nuke calamity the chance for new disaster pretty well ended when the water washed back out to sea. Now comes the rebuilding. I certainly wouldn't take talk of a 70-percent likelihood of a new quake by Wednesday seriously. Nobody seems to have predicted this one.

As for the nukes, it is prudent to pause their development. But like it or not we'll have to pursue them anyway. We know they may not be economically feasible. Neither is $200 oil.
