Hollywood's Writers' Strike

As "wow" as I am, too ... I continue to strongly support the Writer's Strike and I support their decision to picket the show.

Yeah, um, too bad about the limo drivers and party planners and caterers. They don't have any god-given "right" to a big party night, and nominated talent has no similar right to be lavished with kudos for their work.

What's the point of a strike if you let the big targets have a pass? Cancelling the Globes is Big News (big entertainment news anyway) and the "real" jobs lost in the industry as a whole make a mockery of gigs that will be lost for a single awards night.

Yes, the strike has serious economic impacts. D'uh. That's the point. The collateral damage is regrettable, but can't be avoided for its own sake.
