Cindy Sheehan is on this rolling fast as well. It's called a diet. Now that she's single again she's lookin' for some action(ewwwww).

You should be flayed alive for that mental picture.

You're welcome. I stumbled across it by accident when looking for something else. I didn't know Steyn appeared in the Orange County Register.

How about if Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow promise to put on 20 pounds for every month Bush refuses to end his illegal war?

How about adding Annie Coulter to that short list for a month or two.

All of the posts up to this point seem to focus on the humorous and sarcastic barbs that Steyn aims at the celebrity fast. However, I think that the most important point that he makes in the article comes at the end where he writes:
" Indeed, in all their contempt for America as an effete narcissistic ninny too soft and self-absorbed to stand any pain, even al-Qaida couldn't have come up with as withering a parody of the Great Satan's decadence as a celebrity pseudo-fast."
I think the whole article was designed to lead up to this one, final, serious observation.
