Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Joss Whedon, creator of shows like Firefly and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has taken the writers' side in this dispute.

Doesn't this sentance make it sound like he is not a writer?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Or like he's Schrodinger's Joss - someone looked at him, and he was on the writer's side, but he was in an indeterminate state up till then....

Creators are in an odd position because, yes, they're writers but they're also usually management.

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

OMG. This threat I just read at one of the wga blogs sounds SO MUCH like shrift: Nick Counter needs to be shot. In the face. With a hammer.

I'm glad someone is picking up my cranky slack. Today I'm mostly all about cupcakes and razzle dazzle.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I know I'm not supposed to watch replacement programming, but I don't suppose there's an exception for the new American Gladiators? On the basis that...it will be really funny?

Well, they were talking about it before the strike, so it's not exactly strike-provoked content. It would have hit the airwaves regardless, I think. I guess there's a loophole for you.
