And that was our show for . . . . uhh, never mind.

No change. Things still seem dismal. No writers, no show. I guess the only thing left to do is say a prayer to St. Clare of Assisi --- the Patron Saint of Television.

St. Claire of Assisi:

"Before she died in 1253, she became too ill to attend daily mass. As she lay in her bed, she would see visions of the mass on the wall of her cell, just like there was a TV. St Clare was canonized only two years after her death, in 1255, and her feast day is celebrated on 11 August." (BBC)
"On February 17, 1958, Pope Pius XII designated her as the patron saint of television, on the basis that, when she was too ill to attend a Mass, she had been miraculously able to see and hear it on the wall of her room."
Just for fun, whenever a writer phones in to see what's happening here at the Late Show office, I'll gasp, "HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?!!!" They'll cry out, "WHAT WHAT WHAT?!!!" Then I'll have a good laugh at their expense. I'll tell them I'm kidding, though a few times I've said, "I just saved 15% buying car insurance at Geico."

Back when I walked a police beat in the city, strikers were not allowed to carry signs attached to a stick. They were only allowed to carry the sign part. It was feared that if the picketers got heated by agitators, they could use the stick part as a weapon. No sticks allowed; only signs. Looking at the pictures on the internets, it seems the writers are being allowed to tote their signs on sticks here in New York City. It's a kinder, gentler city than when I patrolled.

Since the writers' strike, the picketing Tina Fey has knocked Sarah Jessica Parker off the pages of the New York tabloids. SJP can go out to pick up a quart of milk and there'll be a half-page photo of her the next day in the New York Post. Now with the strike, it's all Tina all the time. I think Tina is the only one picketing.

Did you get a gander of Joe Torre in his new Dodgers uniform? Number 6? He's number 6! I thought that was a bit strange. He's #6 as a Yankee, but doesn't #6 belong to someone else on the Dodgers? I looked it up. Yup, I knew it belonged to someone big. #6 is Steve Garvey's number. Joe should have said thanks, but no thanks. That belongs to Garvey. And then I found that Tony Abreu wore #6 on the Dodgers this past year. Why isn't #6 retired by the Dodgers? That's Garvey. Heck, San Diego retired #6 after Garvey played there for 5 years. Why not the Dodgers?
