Fabulous Secret Links

There are a lot of links for November. Let's start with the current writers' strike. As a striking writer, Ken Levine has been blogging about it quite a bit: On the Eve of the Strike, Notes from the Picket Line, Strike Report: Day Three, The 12,000 Man March on Pico, Day 5, No One Earns as Much as Burns, Week Two Begins Early, Allow Me to Be the Last to Recommend This (a very enlightening video), The WGA Strike Red Carpet Show, and The Big Hollywood Rally. Meanwhile, Roger Owen Green answers some questions about the strike, and Allen L. has some interesting thoughts about it, too.
