Flash-- The Hollywood writers are on strike!
Oh, no!
Maybe we need to call out the National Guard to keep law and order?
Or... maybe we need to call out the Right Writers to step in and really
provide some crack writing and actually get a few laughs and a
different view of the world.
The first things that are supposed to be effected are the late night shows, such as Leno and Letterman, and the soap operas.
Can you imagine?
Late Night Right with David Letterman....
Here's Dave: "Yeah, did you hear Hillary went out for Chinese last
night and came back with Kung Pao Shrimp and a million dollars stuffed
into fortune cookies? She was upset because they forgot to include her
egg roll. She sent Bill back for them, and he managed another type of
roll."
Drum snare!
Leno: "Yeah, yeah.... That Nancy Pelosi, she maybe 'America's
Grandmother', but she knows nothing about Turkey and cooking. Look, she
talks about how the Armenians were smoked by the Turks and suddenly
those guys are eating the Kurds".
Coughs. Smirks.
Then the soap operas. The metro sexual guys suddenly decide that they
want to do their part and join the Marines. The quasi-sluts decide that
they want to support these new manly men. They organize fund raising
for the troops and even enlist themselves.
The movies?
Imagine movies where the good guys win and the bad guys get blown away?
How about scenes where the CEO of a company lies awake at night worried
about the people working for him and his responsibility towards them?
How about a movie where the preacher or the priest or rabbi is not depicted as a smarmy money grubbing fake?
Or documentaries where the weather is examined for what it is, the
cycle of the earth, instead of a devil of a thing needing to be
conquered by the religion of Global Warming?
Imagine Right Writers who would write about rock stars that should just
sing their songs and not preach complicated world events, being that
most are high school drops outs.
And those same Right Writers commenting about the latest movie or
television star to visit Hugo Chavez as being pretty stupid to be so ga
ga over someone who would take their houses, cars and jewelry first
chance they could.
Imagine some Right Writer penning a song, "Give War a Chance!"
It can only be hoped that the Writers strike continues for ever.
