I just received an e-mail — part of a mass mailing from WGA President Patric Verrone, that says a lot of the same things I said here about a half hour ago. The difference, of course, is that he knows what he's talking about. Patric's a pretty smart guy, by the way, and he seems to have as much trust as any WGA President could possibly ever have from such a contentious group.
Nikki Finke has posted the text of it on her weblog…and if you're interested in what's going on, you might keep an eye on that weblog. But again, don't believe everything you read from any unofficial source, and that includes my weblog.
Basically, Patric says that they're anticipating a lowball, last minute offer that may leave us no alternative but to strike. Well, that's okay. I put off taking my usual daily walk this weekend because I figure I'm going to be getting plenty of exercise. A deep sigh, a shaking of the head and eyes rolling upwards.
