Diana Ponce talks on a phone in the yard of her San Pablo home Wednesday, the fifth day of a hunger strike to protest the gathering of armed volunteers, the Minuteman Project, at the Arizona-Mexico border to keep illegal immigrants from entering the United States.

She's on the phone to Dominoes, man.

What's the cooler for?

[Sterco]

Bet she has a rapid multiple flush toilet.

Hunger Strike Protests Anti-Immigrant Vigilantes

Ah, more like ILLEGAL immigrants there,Jenny Craig.

I have never understood why we should care if people go on hunger strikes. If people want to kill themselves this way who cares. This would never get me to give in to their demands. Of course, I don't believe for a minute that this woman isn't eating.

[Sterco]

This ought to be front page NYT. Complete with picture. Be a national laugh for sure.

What did she look like before the hunger strike? Is that a bucket of cereal to her left?

Great story. I live in the Bay Area,San Rafael. On a local radio station, Jeff Katz did an actual interview with this fool. It was hilarious!!He started the segment with a call in guessing this dolls weight. He was actually closest.The sister of "slim" called in and revealed she came in at a sparse 218!! The sister then handed the phone to the "dainty one", it was a HOOT!!!!

[Sterco]

If someone told her to "haul-ass" she would have to make five trips!!!

[Humidston]

When this broa...er, ah, woman decides the hunger strike is over, Twinkie distributors better prepare for the invasion!

[Bon mots]

Is that a remote for the TV on the bed next to that pig? Isn't the TV within reach? No wonder she's so damned fat.

Looks like a tough job. Parking her fat a$$ on a bed with a TV and cooler within reach and telling everyone she's hungry! Sheesh.

[Andy from Beaverton]

With some water, she should be good for about a year.
What's in the big cooler to her left?
Did the legs to her bed break?

El Gordo!

Another thing...

Why do people have to hunger strike outside so people can see? Should it really make a difference?

[andyandval]

That white striped, baby blue sweat pant number really becomes her!

[Paul Atreides]

What gets me is the arrogance of the people, who think they are so special and so above the rest of us that all they have to do is to threaten to starve to death to change the world.

Drop these off in front of the house and i bet this "hunger strike" would be OVER
