Former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young (who has never once returned a phone call to me despite his assistants saying he would, but I digress) was on the Colbert Report last night. Apparently Stephen Colbert's father was an administrator at a hospital during a workers strike related to the civil rights movement.
They were talking about that strike, and the current writers strike in Hollywood, and Young said something I thought was really interesting. Strikes only happen when you can't talk any more. And he quoted a teamster: "Strikes are never about money, they're always about respect."

Maybe you aren't important enough to get a call back yet?
Then they should say that, instead of "Ambassador Young will call you tomorrow at 2:30."
But you and I both know I'm kind of a big deal. Lots of rich mahogany furniture and leather bound books
Next time, tell Andy's assistant that GBPI Mega Fan & Honorary Consul to the Great Beyond of Macon sent you. You may want to howl after saying that to emphasize the urgency of your request.
