AMPTP said the WGA in general and Patric Verrone specifically were behind the death of Bhutto. The WGA says it has documents proving the AMPTP helped former Illinois policeman Drew Peterson kill his wife and Nick Counter purchased a large blue container for her body and helped Peterson dispose of her. In addition, the guild says it has photographic evidence of Counter unlocking a door on the tiger exhibit at the San Francisco Zoo. None of this bodes well for a quick resolution.

David Letterman's company struck a deal his show is going back on the air with guild writers. That's great. Craig Ferguson's show is too.

A friend's son asked me how what the late show guys and Comedy Central guys are doing is different from what Ellen DeGeneres did. Kids...

I picketed today. Almost no one was there. Have we lost our resolve?

The lines were thinner at Warner Bros. last week. It's understandable given the holidays coming up and the fact that picketing is incredibly boring. It's just that it was starting to look less like picketing and more like loitering.

The producers are making a mistake to try to bad mouth union leadership or in any way divide members. Sure, we hate ourselves. And we hate most other writers. But we hate them much more.

Tenacious D (Jack Black and that other guy) play two or maybe three songs; it's hard to tell because the sound system was awful. However, I could make out Black singing the words "fuck," "Internet" and "pie." I'm guessing it had something to do with the strike--or maybe his plans for the rest of the day.
