Strike Quote of the Day

"So, to the arrogant media moguls who've gotten so fat off our sweat-soaked toil that they can no longer fit behind their oversized mahogany desks, I say, stop spending all your money on cufflinks, cocktails and whores. Stick a crowbar in your wallet and start bargaining in good faith with the writers. Maybe then America won't be denied seeing David Letterman hold up a pair of flaming underpants."
--Bill Scheft, WGA Strike Captain, The Late Show with David Letterman

Tell the AMPTP to come back to the table and stop being such cowards at negotiating. As Alan Zweibel said, producers (big media) need to pull their heads out of their @$$es!
