"The funny thin is, they aren't even putting themselves out...it's a 24 hour fast they're talking about. They'll miss a grand total of three meals."

For the love of Jesus, I perform that same fast the first Monday of every month, with prayer and repentance. They really don't think anyone will notice their hypocritical actions, do they? Amen.

I think 24 hrs will be too long of a sacrifice...

I bet they shorten it to a rolling "single meal" fast.

Cindy Shehag: "I skipped breakfast! Pass it on!"
Sean Peon: "I skipped lunch! Pass it on!"
Arec Bardwin munching on a pastrami: "Uhm... I thought we were starting tomorrow, no?"

"Now it is time to bring the pain and suffering of war home. We are putting our bodies on the line for peace."

You mean they're going to enlist? That's a very noble sentiment, but I think most of them are over the maximum entry age for military service.

If an army of actors and peace activists took a run at the enemy, they'd die laughing. Maybe that's the plan?

...a relay in which 2,700 activists pledge to refuse food for at least 24 hours, and then hand over to a comrade.

That last word kinda sums it all up, don't ya think?

I told my wife about this and she said, "Aren't they already doing this? It's called anorexia."

Ha Ha Ha!

The last I read on this subject was the moonbats were saying that liquids would be OK.

So, I figure for Shee-bat that means Ensure, power drinks, energy shakes.

Some statement.

"US stars align in anti-Iraq war hunger strike "

I wonder if any of them would like to borrow my cell phone to call someone who gives a sh*t...?

File this under: like I give a flying fish. Good, starve. You think of it as making a political point, They think of it as cleaning the gene pool.

If you really want to make a point, why not set yourselves on fire like the monks did in Vietnam. Hey, I have a whole container of lighter fluid that you can borrow. Why not go all the way and just burn Hollywood to the ground. Society will thank you for it.

I would call you wasted sacks of flesh retarded, but that would be insulting people with actual special needs. Although, I'm sure sean pennhead can count to potato.

What I find amazing is that these pampered, left wing, hollywood windbags would think that anyone in this country would lose a momeent's sleep if they starved themselves to death.

Unfortunately there IS a segment of society that does care about them and what they do. It can't be denied.

That's the thing...

They are only doing it for attention.

I'd just rather ignore them. It drives wannabes like this nuts.
