WGA STRIKE - Day 236 -A Glimpse Into A Scary Future
by Heather Popochuk, 38 year old homemaker from Pittsburgh, PA

Good Gumphries! How much longer is this writers strike going to go on for!?
This is really getting ridiculous! After dropping off Donovan and Amytheyst at the Center For Children this morning, I realized I had a free hour before my scrapbooking class. I figured, "Okay Heather, it's time for a little you time for once!" So I scooted home to enjoy an increasingly rare moment to relax. I made myself some huckleberry tea-wine, reheated some leftover pillsbury biscuits and sunk deep into my chocolate pit group. I turned on the TV momentarily forgeting about this ridiculous writers strike. Big mistake! A repeat again!? Sure, what else is new...besides, NOTHING! An old Judge Judy from 1998 was on. I didn't even notice until the end when the Plaintiff talked about going to Windows on the World, the old Twin Towers (9/11 remember!) restaurant.
Repeats! That's all they ever show anymore! I can't even tell until the end when I'm checking! Enough! I really think the President should step in and force the writers to go back to work like Reagan did with the airplane people. Tonight, while I would normally watch "CSI: Law Town", I'm going to have to dig through my old US Weekly's to find something to read.
"Oh, but Heather, there are new show's on TV, they're called "Reality Television shows". Uh, not! Now, I'm usually a fan of reality tv, don't get me wrong. but just reality tv? No thanks! I wish there would be more of those fun "clip" shows. The Best of the Keenan Ivory Wayans Show was a fun stroll down memory lane. And "America's Best Commercials That You've Never Seen and Never Will" was neat but how about some more? Maybe some commercials from Europe and Australia that I haven't seen yet. And I'm not a big fan of these game shows that they are putting on prime time now during the strike. I have already seen tonights rerun of the rerun of " Wayne Brady's, Refrigerator Magnet Poetry" so I don't know what I'm supposed to do with my time! I don't see what the writers are making such a big deal about! I wish I got $50,000 everytime I thought of a funny situation! My husband says that all these hollywood jew faggots should go out and learn how to install PVC tubing in industrial waste sights and then see how much they complain! I told him that that didn't make much sense to me. He says they should be happy to get as much money as they already get which is "waaaaay to much". He says he wouldn't pay them a jew's cunt hair more than a thousand dollars for their "supposed jokes". I said, "Oh yeah? You think The King of Queens" writes itself?". And you know what? He did!! He actually thought, until I explained it to him, that people write these shows. Not the shows themselves! Come to think of it, I guess the writers have a point. But, hey, I don't go see movies because they have a good story or the words made me think about stuff, I go because Russell Crowe is in them!!

Just wanted to get that off my chest,
Heather
