My most favoritest ribbon magnet was on a van in my apartment complex's lot: "Support the latest trendy ribbon fad." Living in Eugene makes for fantastic bumper-sticker-spotting.

That's great, Una! I didn't know you were in Eugene. I lived there for a while in 6th grade (or maybe 5th, I moved a lot) and loved it. Of course, I supposed it's possible that it may have changed a bit in the intervening, oh, nearly 30 years.

Note just for the record: I posted the original link, I did not claim Leno fired his staff. The details of the staff firing (and that Leno was not behind it) were at the link.

Other labor-related movies worth watching, in strike solidarity:

Norma Rae

Matewan (starring Chris Cooper!)

Yeah... I'm a moron.

Yeah, but Matewan and Norma Rae aren't musicals.

Oh, I missed that musical was a requirement. Oops?

Speaking of musicals, I am sad. I opened my front door to discover a letter on my doorstep. (I guess it ended up in the wrong mailbox and one of my neighbors left it for me.) It was one of those screening invites. To Sweeney Freaking Todd.

I could've seen Sweeney Todd today.

Bastards.

Sweeney Todd would've been sweet.

How many more musicals about the labour movement can you dig up Jesse?

Oooh, is there a filmed version of Rags?

I think it's going to be the first movie that gets me into a theater in...well, a very long time. I'm now trying to remember the last time I went to the movies.

ETA: God help me, I think it might've been Brokeback Mountain.

I WISH I COULD QUIT YOU
