BACK TO THE TABLE, WILLING AND ABLE

It's very good news that the WGA and AMPTP are willing to meet after Thanksgiving. Hopefully, everyone will be a bit stoned from pie and turkey. I just hope -- actually I'll even do a little praying -- that cooler heads prevail. The news blackout will be incredibly helpful. Not sure how Nikki Finke feels about that, but it will force folks to stay on task and not worry about the spin. I hope John Wells is somewhere in the mix. We could use a little old school WGA savvy. Our leaders are wise and reasonable men. Let's encourage them to approach these negotiations with wisdom and reason. We need to leave the bad history at the door and come out with a better future.
