My blog provider and my wretched dial-up connection decided to cooperate today.  Well, I'm assuming they did.  The proof will be in what happens after I hit the "Post" button, but usually I can't even get to the post entry page, so this is encouraging.

Wish it had happened on a day when I actually had something I wanted to say.

I haven't even read anything recently that's stuck with me all that strongly.  No, I take that back.  Pamie.com has recently come back to life with some great posts, and links to other striking TV writers' blogs, that explain the writers' strike from the writers' perspective.  Among other things, the writers explain why they think it's important to garner broad-based support for union action, especially in a business environment that's grown so hostile to unions.  I'd barely paid attention to the strike myself, since I don't watch much TV at all, but Pamie and the other writers have persuaded me that I should be, and their accounts of days on the picket line are eye-opening.
