‘It is the Words which are remembered, long after the person, who spoke them is gone.’
The Writers deserve to be fairly compensated for their talent and hard work.
I WILL NOT support your programing nor your station if you do not return to the negotiating table and settle a fair and honest contract.
However I shall continue to support both Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for their talent and their stand.

I’m confident that both Stewart and Colbert will put on shows that illustrate both the writer’s plight and their value to the respective shows.

And it will probably STILL be funny. Just in a different, and likely job-risking (for Stewart and Colbert) way.

Leadership on this would be more in the form of flipping the bird to the studio/production co.

Maybe Sen. Edwards could do an ad with them where they support the union and show mutual respect. Hmmm.

Now is a good chance for the Democratic leadership to show its support for labor. Will the “leadership” rise to the occasion?

Sounds like a call to Senator Edwards to provide a foil for Stewart banter and humour.

Sigh.

For some reason I’m in a ranting kinda mood today. Sigh. Maybe it was just too much reading about Romney’s ‘vision’.
