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.

In my melancholy walk down South Street some AHTS organization put a decal for an online Picasso exhibit on a vacant commercial space, with half of what was alleged to be Picasso's face on the decal, and the effect was odd. The building has a protruding horizontal fixture that delineates the first and second floors. On the first floor the face looked like Nixon's. On the second floor it looked like LBJ's. In very small type the decal said the exhibit was sponsored by The Marlboro Man -- pardon, the company that once owned KRAFT FOODS. Maybe as they die lung-cancer victims will now see visions of Guernica floating through their heads.

In one of the many look-alike junk clothing stores on the avenue, I saw a licensed T-shirt for ANGRY BIRDS. This, like flagpole sitting, is officially a fad.
