A comprehensive document like that would definitely make it easier to see the truth of their proposal. Right now there is just a bunch of numbers that don't mean anything.
Hands! Hands in new places!

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Exactly. That $250 flat fee residual for internet streaming TV reuse has me scratching my head. The official WGA email said:
For streaming television episodes, the companies proposed a residual structure of a single fixed payment of less than $250 for a year's reuse of an hour-long program (compared to over $20,000 payable for a network rerun).
But someone else told me that the $250 isn't for, say, a rerun of Lost. It's for derivative internet programming. Like, 24: The Rookie and Bones: Skeleton Crew.
I'm deeply mistrustful of sound bytes and press releases.

I've seen others posting a similar message. I keep telling people that all the numbers are meaningless out of context.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
You would perhaps enjoying seeing the number of paint jobs ruined by the combination of the ribbon magnets and Florida sun.
Oh, yes, I certainly would!
I have this magnet on my car: [link]

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I have this one [link] center, top row. And this bumper sticker [link] It's worth faded paint to display them in my driveway--between the Southern Baptist church on the next corner and the Primitive Baptist church across the street.
I'd display more, but I like my tires with air inside.

Oh, I like that bumper sticker. I might have to buy that as a T shirt for someone for Christmas.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh, I have seen that Coexist one here. Nice. I don't know what it is with the ribbon things, but they seem to fade quickly and I have seen quite a few outlines where they used to be on vehicles so something bad happens in the heat. I only have one bumper sticker and it is on the back window of the van. It's a John Kerry sticker, or a 'not my fault' sticker.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That Coexist sticker would be brilliant for covering up an old one on the car we just bought, that reads "Buy American While You Still Can".
ION, I just finished the third red scarf tonight.

You know, the combination of scabby talk, multicolor immolation and true support of troops just makes me so happy. And so glad I found b.org.
Ok, I'm all done with the sap.
eta: Who am I kidding. I'm done with the sap for now, but I'm sure it will come back before too awfully long.
