A true victory for labor, to quote Michael Moore, if by "labor" you mean folks who earn well into six figures. Janitors and auto workers might disagree

A major victory for labor, says Michael Moore, as long as you define "labor" as people who earn serious six-figure incomes. Janitors and auto plant workers might disagree.

@Jory: When Bush leaves office in 09. It's a Bushism, as I recall.

I have decided to join the strike. It was hard, but I did it. Go WGA...oh wait, it's over? Yay! My striking worked.

There's a strike by Aramark employees outside my building... I'm pretty sure in the annals of history, it will dwarf this silly 'worldwide film and tv distribution' hogwash... these guys can chant REALLY loud.

I believe "blogsphere" is not meant as a joke, but it sure sounds like one!

@Senor_Wences: get the fuck back in your room!
"Interweb" is still comedy platinum as far as I'm concerned!

When has any movie ever gone into profit?
I'm sure that "Gone With The Wind" is still listed on the books as a money loser!

Saying "the internets" is not funny anymore. When will this blog cliche die??

Both sides always "lose" at the completion of a successful negotiation.
That being said, I think the writers ended up making out a whole lot better than anyone expected at the beginning of this thing!
