The spokesperson for the rolling fast

Very old Hollywood joke:
Starving beggar with tin cup: "I haven't eaten for three days."
Zsa Zsa Gabor: "Dahlink, I wish I had your will power."
Up-to-the-minute Hollywood joke, from Agence-France Presse:
"U.S. Stars Align In Anti-Iraq War Hunger Strike.
"Star Hollywood actor-activists including Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon and anti-war campaigners led by bereaved mother Cindy Sheehan plan to launch a hunger strike, demanding the immediate return of U.S. troops from Iraq.
"As Americans get set to fire up barbeques in patriotic celebration of U.S. Independence Day on July 4, anti-war protesters planned to savor a last meal outside the White House before embarking on a 'Troops Home Fast' at midnight…
"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."
So Sean Penn is starving himself to death, but just for a day? Brilliant! If Gandhi had been that smart, he'd still have a movie career. Willie Nelson and 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.

"Greater love hath no man than to lay down his lunch for his friends."
Best--Steyn--One-liner--Ever.
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.
My God how does he do it. Quick, someone make Mr. Steyn a citizen of this country, STAT!
L
but don't yah know? "Its the thought that counts."
It would be awful to actually have do something substantive.
He's already been naturalized. Our gain, Canada's loss.
(The Palestinian terrorist regime is the crisis and Israel's fist is the answer.)
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).
Michael Moore,only 300lb's?He's gotta weigh more than that.
I got a chuckle when FNC did a story about Cindy Sheehan fasting while showing a video of her stuffing her face...
The don't even know how foolish they look.
"•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!
Like my "rolling" workout plan:
10 lbs x 1 rep x 1,000 days = HUGE muscles!!!
I guess she's moved on to bigger and stupider things. A rolling fast. What a bunch of overpaid and uninformed slacker - losers.
I remember a typical day at William Paterson College, my friend Steve and I were working on a project for the school. A liberal student happened by and wanted to know if we would make a video for him. He wanted to help the homeless. What did he want to do?
"We're going to have a protest on the mall to raise awareness for the homeless."
The mall being right outside the student pub . . .
"You want us to videotape you protesting to help the homeless?"
The guy light up. "Yeah, we'll show the world that the homeless need help. We'll make sure they get help."
At this time, Steve was a volunteer firefighter and I was a volunteer EMT. We were both in our early twenties.
"Well, you know there's a homeless shelter right down the road in Paterson. If you really want to help the homeless, you could go there and feed them. They're always begging for volunteers."
"Oh, I can't do that." His tone of voice and the facial expression were obvious, as in, 'I'm not going anywhere near those filthy #######.'
His comment was, "I can't do that. This is everybody's problem. I have to get everybody (else) to help."
"We're busy."
Susan and Alec, I hope you enjoy your moronic left wing photo op for your own publicity and (insert cause name here). You claim you're brave because your actions mean that you will never get work again. I hope that's true, then maybe I could muster a millisecond of respect for you.
Do those people actually expect us to take them seriously?
"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.
Are you serious? What a joke, hell, I've been fasting all my life!
