You’ve got to love the Screen Actors Guild, folks–this has to be the biggest collection of cretins and greedy morons on the face of the earth. These are the people you read about in Aesop and his fables, where the bird or dog or whatever sees its face in the water and decides it wants the grapes or bones or whatever that its reflection is holding.

And the latest proof of that comes from a “solidarity” rally the west coast division of SAG decided to launch. The east coast division claims they were told that the rally would be “pro-SAG” and not even slightly “anti-AFTRA”. This assertion turned out to be a total crockery as the “solidarity” rally turned into an AFTRA lynch mob. Perhaps even better was that the west coast division was poised to launch a seventy-five thousand dollar “education campaign” in the grandest fascistic style that would have torn into the AFTRA deal with producers. The Chicago local branch did not take this lying down, calling it “an unconscionable waste of our resources and our time. And Chicago’s rank and file does not support it.”

Of course you don’t support it. You’re not SUPPOSED to support it, Chicago. The west coast branch wants you to smile and nod and put on a united front while they hold the American viewing public hostage by declaring a strike until SAG west’s demands are met. You understand that SAG west is about to lead you all merrily into doomsday and you want to make a decent bargain instead of march headlong into the abattoir. SAG west isn’t likely to permit this…so it’s up to you, Chicago. And the rest of the East Coast too.

Which is downright dramatic, and to supplement the drama, try the drama movie trivia on Kwanzoo.
