Comment Moderation Will Be Slooooooow

Fair warning! As we prep for the launch of the all-new UnitedHollywood.com, we're also juggling our responsibilities at work.

The main difference you will notice is that comments probably won't get moderated for hours at a stretch. But don't worry, we will get them up ASAP. (The new site will reduce the need for moderation. It'll be cool.)

Also, you'll see that our sidebar is less "strikey."

David Blum on "The Cieply Scenario"

We already posted our thoughts on Michael Cieply's dramatic New York Times narrative of how WGA contract negotiations got over an impasse. Now, David Blum has written a very amusing piece in the New York Press parodying Cieply's breathless style... about Michael Cieply.

With the strike now over, there is a lot of talk about "winners and losers," most of which is premature. But pieces like Blum's are useful because they examine how the story of the strike was shaped as it was going on. We hope to be running a few original pieces on this topic soon. We are editing one on the infamous legend of "the Dirty 30" for tonight. Stay tuned.
