Asks a puzzled attendee of the just-commenced Picketing with the Stars Strikestravaganza: "Just got back from Universal. Why does Ray Romano show up at a picket with his bodyguards?" After quickly scanning some early wire photos of the event, we think we have an explanation: while Everybody Loves Raymond co-creator Phil Rosenthal, the bruiser pictured with Romano, certainly looks intimidating enough to provide all the protection the comedian might need at a seemingly friendly rally, he'd still require the services of a security professional should a disgruntled writer fired off the series' first season decide to settle an old score by trying to plunge the sharpened handle of his NO NERDS NO WORDS sign into the actor's back as he granted a TV interview.
