Writers strike a conspiracy to end criticism of Bush?
Sure seems like it, doesn't it? With comedy shows being the only ones that comment on the actual current events, there has been effectively a news blackout for the last month.

2. Well, you can tell they're back ...

That advertising gag for Comedy Central seems to have borne conspiratorial fruit.

Only good writers could have conceived such.

3. Its possible...wasn't the strike set off by outrageous demands on the part of rich producers?
If they KNEW that their writers were organized, and that certain demands would set off a strike creating a media blackout of certain voices...Its one a way a very small group of rich people could have a big effect without looking like they were practicing censorship.
