Five antiwar activists, four of whom have been on a hunger strike for 25 days, were arrested yesterday...

{snip}

The arrests occurred after the five blocked the entrance and ignored police orders to move..... Three of the people arrested are members of CodePink, including its co-founder, Diane Wilson of Seadrift, Tex.

"I have to have faith," said Wilson, a former shrimp boat captain-turned-environmental activist.

"I know it's going to be the catalyst for something, even if this is not going to be big enough to bring them home."

Captain Dan gone wacko! It will a catalyst for something alright! ROTFLOL!!!

[Just A Nobody]

Sorry for the delay!

Will you ping the list?

[cripplecreek]

Will protest for food.

[cmsgop]

Don't you have to have an STD to get into Code Pink ???

[Coop]

These hags should be classified as environmental hazards.

Will protest for food

LOL! That would make a great sign for Walter Reed Friday nights.

[Just A Nobody]

Yes, yes I believe I did hear that somewhere.....in passing....

environmental hazards

LOL! Good one Coop!

Judging by the looks of the Code Pinkos, the chances of their getting exposed to STD's is pretty low;)

Don't tempt ..............

Hey, "Judge not, that ye be not judged."

Oh, nevermind, I thought this was a Mel Gibson thread.

Carry on!

Where they part of the "rolling hunger strike"? Because in that case I have them beat all hollow having fasted 12 years.

What does Diane Wilson, the former shrimp boat captain-turned-environmental actisvist have in common with shrimp?

Shrimp turn pink when you cook 'em.

Boiled brain = Code Pinko. Should've stayed out of the sun, Diane.

Pass the cocktail sauce!

I'll bet they're on that same ice cream hunger strike that Cindy Sheehan is on and gaining weight.

The great news is they lost their permit, I hope it's a permanent loss.

No, that's what happens AFTER you get into Code Stink ....

Wow! Wacky Packy's... forgot about those!

four of whom have been on a hunger strike for 25 days

This is BS. They may have been on a limited diet for 25 days but they were not on a hunger strike for 25 days. After 25 days they would be having all types of problems, if they were still living!
