Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) on Monday began a three-day period of fasting during lunch time with his wife in honor of the state's health care workers.

Taking to Twitter, Edwards urged other Louisianans to join him and his wife in fasting and prayer.

"Join me and @FirstLadyOfLA in praying & fasting during lunch time August 9-11 for our health care workers & all those affected by COVID-19," Edwards wrote. "In addition to prayer, I urge all Louisianans to protect their neighbors & themselves by getting their vaccines & wearing masks."

as Lincoln said (paraphrasing),

Both sides pray to the same God. but, both prayers cannot be answered, and neither side’s was answered in full.

Father, Let our side’s righteous prayers be answered Lord, and their (and our) side’s evil one’s be rebuked entirely. For your Son’s sake. Amen.

Only during lunch time? Didn’t Rush call that a “Jesse Jackson fast”? Only fasting when you want

“three-day period of fasting during lunch time”

Not particularly hard to do, when you can still eat breakfast and dinner.

It reminds me of “Jesse Jackson’s hunger strike for social justice” (or whatever). After a month or so, a reporter asked him why he didn’t appear to lose any weight. His answer was “Well, we have people who rotate through this hunger strike”.

You know you are dealing with a soft, weak, over-privileged american when they think it’s a sacrifice to skip lunch

I was thinking the same thing. Skipping lunch isn’t fasting. It’s called dieting.

The virtue signalling is strong with this one.

What a douchebag.

It took 11 posts for someone to note that. Sad. We’re slipping around here.

Oh, the humanity of such sacrifice.
