who I am
I'm MaryAnn Johanson: writer and ponderer in New York City who drinks too much wine and thinks way too much about such inconsequences as movies, TV, books, and the meaning of life.

It's rare to see a struggle where the line between good and evil is so clearly drawn. The WGA is so obviously in the right that I can't believe this strike is going on at all. *sigh*

Actually, given the bloody history of the American union movement, this strike has been surprisingly uneventful. Gracias a Dios.
In memory of the many candles my mom used to light in support of the Polish Solidarity Movement, I'll try to resist making any jokes about Hollywood fatcats having their own union...
Look for the union label...
