Michael Moore is getting set to add to his 300 pounds after waiting the day out. Time for dinner!

(The Palestinian terrorist regime is the crisis and Israel's fist is the answer.)

No, they are only fasting in 8 hour shifts, then they turn it over to anothr team.

In other words, they are eating 3 meals a day.

I've been fasting like this for years.

•In a first for the music industry, two feuding gangsta rappers died this morning before they could shoot each other. 2Frail 2Fire was felled by a massive heart attack as he attempted to lift his LadySmith 60LS. Ol' Cadaverous Bastard expired from malnutrition a few seconds later while enjoying a derogatory gloat about the ever-bonier butts of 2Frail 2Fire's ho's and bitches.

My God how does he do it. Quick, someone make Mr. Steyn a citizen of this country, STAT!

but don't yah know? "Its the thought that counts."

It would be awful to actually have do something substantive.

"•In a first for the music industry, two feuding gangsta rappers died this morning before they could shoot each other."

Oh puhleeeeeze, now that's funny!

[SteveMcKing]

"Penn, Sarandon, novelist Alice Walker and actor Danny Glover will join a 'rolling' fast, a relay in which 2,700 activists pledge to refuse food for at least 24 hours, and then hand over to a comrade."

Like my "rolling" workout plan:

10 lbs x 1 rep x 1,000 days = HUGE muscles!!!

[ladyinred]

Very funny piece! The thing is, all these so called stars do is make me avoid anything they are involved in. If we all do that, perhaps the starving and going without food will be for real.

[Clintonfatigued]

Do those people actually expect us to take them seriously?

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

"Absent that, it's hard to see what a "rolling fast" does except confirm the vague suspicion one or two Americans may harbor that politically active celebrities are a lot of vain dilettantes unwilling to discombobulate their pampered lifestyles."

And confirm the confirmed suspicion that most celebrities are Socialists and very, very generous with other people's money. Case in point: the privately owned farm in LA that had been invaded and used illegally and that which Darryl Hannah sat in a tree to prevent being used by the legal owner how he saw fit. None of them coughed up a single dime from their multiple millions of dollars they have to buy the land from the owner.

[Tax-chick]

Personally, if celebrities have to "put their bodies on the line for peace," I'd much rather see them bulk up. How about if Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow promise to put on 20 pounds for every month Bush refuses to end his illegal war?

[Popman]

The spokesperson for the rolling fast

[Jessica24]

"In the forthcoming James Bond movie, 007 is tossed into a tank of ravenous sharks, but they refuse to eat him and, in a savage indictment of Bush foreign policy, sip their mineral water in a desultory fashion for 20 minutes before calling for the check."

Bwahaha. Somewhere there's a producer frantically calling for a rewrite to work this into Casino Royale.

Seriously, just when I think celebrity activists can't get any funnier, in rolls the "rolling fast." I like the "gain weight gorge" idea myself. Because I doubt there's a single actor in Hollywood who cares about the Iraqi people more than fitting into their designer samples.

[TheGeezer]

It just occurred to me that the war protesters of the 21st century are ineffective because they lack believability and humor. Having lived through one generation of hypocrisy, America now knows that the privileged and pampered ones who claim moral superiority are what they are: fakes. And, lacking the ability to see that, they lack humor. The result: self-parody. This is not profound, discovered by others years ago like the genius Steyn; but I have finally understood why libs will fail this time. They are blinded this time, America is not.

Thank heaven for the alternate media!

[Mr Rogers]

Another great line: "Imagine if the flailing neocon warmongers had to explain to the American people why we were now down to one Dixie Chick."

I cannot imagine anything more pathetic than a 'rolling fast'. It screams, "We care - just not very much!"

[Doctor Raoul]

Anyone have the author's email or contact info?

[A message]

Michael Moore are also among those participating in the "rolling fast," which in Michael's case will involve going without the roll. Greater love hath no man than to lay down his lunch for his friends.

That really did make me laugh out loud and put a smile on my face.

Steyn nails it again!!

[aculeus]

Disgusted by the callousness of the Bush war machine, William Powell and Myrna Loy have decided to go without the olive in their fourth martini.

[Paleo Conservative]

Where's Rosie O'Doughnut?

[hatfieldmccoy]

Whoo Boy,

Steyn was on his game this column, this is 45 caliber hollow point writing.Good shot Mark!!!!
