An end in sight?


The writers strike may be coming to an end very soon! Thank god, now we can stop watching Moment of Truth!

A deal has been reached between the Writer's Guild of America and major media companies. The details have not been released yet, but the assumed resolution is that writers will receive a large share of royalties.

Before the strikes can come to an end, however, the deal will need to be approved by the Guild's board and then ratified by the union's 10,500 members.

But former Walt Disney chief executive Michael Eisner told CNBC that he's pretty sure the writers will hit the red button and say "DEAL!" Michael said, "It's over. They made the deal, they shook hands on the deal. I have some friends in certain places and I believe there was a handshake last Friday... it's possible they (the writers) will turn it down but it would be insane if they turned it down."

You never know Mikey. Did you see Deal or No Deal the other night when that dumbass was down to her final two cases - $200,000.00 and $1,000.00 The banker's final offer was $100,000.00 and she turned it down opting to go for the 50/50 chance that her case had the $200,000 in it. It didn't. (Is it wrong that I laughed my ass off at the greedy moron?)
