Over the last few weeks many of you have sent me kind notes and comments about the WGA strike. But many of you have not sent me anything. I can only conclude that you don't know about the strike. Let this blog posting fill you in.

Q: Are you on strike?
A: Yes.

Q: Is your lack of blog posts lately some sort of symbolic protest related to the writers' strike?
A: Uh, yes.

Q: How about the many months with no blog posts before the strike even started?
A: That too.

Q: When I talk to you at a party and find out that you are a comedy writer, but you don't say anything that makes me laugh or even crack a smile, is that because you are so committed to the strike that you won't even let the comedy part of your brain operate in social situations?
A: Great question. Yup.

Q: What about at a party when everyone is dancing and having a great time, and I go upstairs to use the secret bathroom, and I find you alone in the host's bedroom looking at his photos from college? Is that because of the strike too?
A: Yes.

Q: My baby has a rare blood disease. You're a perfect match. Can you please--
A: Can't. Strike.

Hope this clears things up.
