I'm a writer and I'm in favour of the WGA strike...

...and this is why (in the words of one of the Daily Show writers):

Sure, my words aren't on screen, but I like being paid for them. I figure these guys deserve to be paid for theirs too.

It's interesting to note that an apparently worthless medium (according to the media companies) is rapidly becoming the key tool in getting the WGA message across to the world.

I actually thought that was Ben Elton, but that does seem a bit unlikely.
