This time, as I understand it, all the talk shows have opted to shut down except for Ellen.
Last time at least Carson stayed on, don't know who else.
And last time at least some soaps had scabs (I think, but I could be thinking of an actors strike)

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I was downtown last night visiting a friend, and there was some sort of production going on. Trailers, caterers, tons of equipment.
My friend said there was a clash between people protesting the production and the production, and cops were called.
I have no idea what it was.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Wouldn't it be funny if it was "Cops"?

In 1988, The Tonight Show went into reruns for two months. Johnny Carson finally went back on the air and managed for a few weeks of new shows on his own. Then he made a special deal with the WGA that gave him back his writers.
Depending on how long the strike lasts, I'm sure that, at some point, Letterman et al will also return with new episodes.

Okay, my paypal is at Allyson000@aol.com (my profile addie).
I'll collect through Thursday at noon, EST. If we end up with too much money, is it okay if I put some aside for things like baking cookies, or perhaps a rainy day striker umbrella fund?
Sometimes we go overboard.
Warning: I have very little to contribute right now, so I'm taking half a day off and donating my time.
If knitting Buffistas would like to do their own project like knit mittens or scarves (rainy cold season is coming) which can be delivered a month from now, that's an awesome lovely thing, too, and I'd be happy to take delivery via US Postal Service.
Preferred color is red, but whatever you have in your yarn bin is excellent, for homemade things are always made of awesome.

I'm good with you allocating anything extra toward whatever you decide.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, guys. On a selfish note, it always makes me feel awesome that you trust me like this.
ETA: Many thanks to Polgara for donating the bags and for helping me schlep to Fox.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You're completely trustable, Allyson.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I'm good with cookie or whatever needs extra funding.
Also sent.
