WGA East Rally in Wash Sq coverage
From yours truly, I was at the WGA East's solidarity rally in Washington Square today. Check out the story and of course pictures from the link. Cheers! And a heart "Si Se Puede" to unionized writers everywhere!

Well I went too but
what I was was a small crowd (perhaps 250 as I counted noses), with very low turnout from organized labor. It seemed to me the rally was disorganized and had no central message for the non-WGA folk in attendance. John Edwards and Jerry Nadler at least had their lines down; others could have used a telepromter. One surprise to me was that only those gathering Edwards nominating petitions (8 or 9) were circulating through the crowd. Obama and Clinton petitioners were elsewhere. I guess.
