Nothing says, "Fuck you, Hollywood bigwigs!" like a media freeze from a little Jewish blog. Nothing about this post makes sense. It's not like the Guild members are striking against the act of writing. You fundamentally misunderstand what "solidarity" means, stretching it beyond any useful definition. Way to go.

A tidbit from this week's Economist (Dec 1-7): "the Democrats cancelled a forthcoming television debate because they do not want to cross a writers' picket at the studio."

Better would be to post every day with updates about the strike and supportive words for the strikers. If jvoices doesn't publish for a week, two weeks, you may permanently loose readers, which would be a shame. I say, use jvoices as another opportunity to help promote the cause of justice. Going silent doesn't help anyone. I’m all for solidarity with the striking writers, however, I’m not sure shutting down a blog with an all volunteer roster is going to do much good.
