It takes real talent to write a number one hit single on the charts.
Don't be fooled by the corporates.
It takes talent to be the 'Beatles'.
It takes practice and hard work to be the 'Rolling Stones'.
It takes commitment and talent to write the 'Right Stuff'.
The corporates are going to have to pay out millions of dollars this fourth quarter.
Because they promised
GM and IBM and other advertisers that Jay Leno
will pull in a certain share of the audience.
That'll be hard to do when it's in reruns.
This strike will continue.
Get through the fourth quarter
it's going to cost them millions in pay outs.
They might show a profit,
but so didn't Enron.
Keep up the good fight fellas.
No more '24',
No more 'Prison Break'
No more Tonight Show
and no more 'Conan O'Brian'.
They want to pay the writers $250.
dollars on reruns on the internet.
When it's $20,000 dollars on TV.
Break the accountants
because these corporates can't write
a number one hit single, movie or comedy show.
F them
(Everytime i hear the word Google or AMPTP
i reach for my sidearm.)
....don't watch network TV. I hate them with a passion, and their libnazi philosophies, so this is like a gift for me!

Syndicated television is full of worthless trash. The characters are not representative of real Americans, the comedy is predictable, and the sterotypes are appalling. This is the best thing to happen to tv since it went colorized. Attention writers: when you get your jobs back try writing real stuff. We are tired of the same old funny, slightly overweight white guys, the trophy wives, and the witty and cool black characters. But then again 'regular' television viewers are mostly people of low intelligence anyways right? People who have trouble doing algebra and speaking correct english.... Como se llamo?
Solid- the Kucinich angle. I wouldn't put too much stock in their appearance: they've totally ignored the district that he/they were elected to represent in Ohio. See and be seen, but don't to anything.
