Remember The WGAlamo by The Hot Blog

You know... I hate the idea of rubbing a soft success in the WGA's face, I think that the Strike Committee did what they sincerely felt they HAD to do. I think that most of them continue to believe that the deal they got wouldn't have happened...

Still No Strike Story Worth Repeating by The Hot Blog
