Well first, it is the SF Chronicle, what did you expect?

Hopefully the hunger strike will become widespread enough to drive them all back to Mexico, where they belong.

Looking at the photo, she won't be fading away to nothing very soon.

From the pic it seems as if she will be on strike for a couple of weeks at least.

I don't know if any of the minute men are young enough to outlast HER.

fifth day of a hunger strike

In another year or so of strict fasting she should look fine.

But starving feels GOOD!! So I take it this is her way of celebrating the Minutemen.

I'll bet she inhales twinkies by the carload when no one's looking.

She aught to thank the Minutemen for helping her lose all that blubber she is carrying around her hips and big fat derrier/behind. Some people just don't recognize when someone is doing them a favor. Oh Well!

As it applies to her, I'd say a hunger strike is long overdue. If the MM stay down there about six months, maybe she'll see her toes once again.

No doubt that repulsive corpulence, the cell phone, and the gimme-gimme-gimme attitude were all paid for with working folks' tax dollars.

I haven't been so pleased by a hunger strike since Bobby Sands checked out.

A hunger strike, my butt. I bet she sneaks or is given all the food she wants. Just another propaganda play. Libs love this kind of BS.

On the fourth night of her front yard hunger strike, Diana Ponce lay delirious under the carport, fighting off the chill under a fuzzy blanket emblazoned with the Mexican flag.

Neighbors sat clustered around her on white plastic lawn chairs. Children smacked at a yellow volleyball in the street. Toddlers tricycled past fence-strung banners that read "Tenemos Que Unirnos" -- We have to unite.

Hehe, after the pictures of their "international observers" smoking doobies while on duty, I think the hunger strike is going to be a bit tough!
