Celebrities are lining up to join Cindy Sheehan’s Diet-4-Peace:
Penn, Sarandon and Nelson, meanwhile, will participate in a “rolling fast” along with actor Danny Glover, author Alice Walker and nearly 3,000 activists nationwide. The concept involves each participant to refuse food for 24 hours on designated days and then pass the fast over to the next individual.
Celebrities not eating for 24 hours? Who has ever heard of such a thing? St. Mother has more on the Great Fasting over at—ahem—Michael Moore’s site:
We are starting an historic and very meaningful action. We were honored by being joined by legendary fasters Dick Gregory and Diane Wilson …
Imagine being known for your legendary ability to not each much food. And these people make fun of Ann Coulter! In fact, Gregory has earned some useful coin from fasting and fasting-related products: “In 1984 he founded Health Enterprises, Inc., a company that distributed weight loss products. In 1987 Gregory introduced the Slim-Safe Bahamian Diet, a powdered diet mix, which was immensely profitable.” Emphasis on the was.
As for Diane Wilson’s legendary fasting status, here’s how she fasted following her latest release from prison: “We had a wonderful breakfast celebration with homemade biscuits, eggs, mashed potatoes and mimosas (champagne & orange juice)!” More now from Slim Cindy, soon to be camped out on the Slenderosa near the old Bush ranch:
The very definition of freedom is that it is free. Freedom is a birthright of every American and we have the Bill of Rights to prove it. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say anywhere that our young people have to fight insane wars for greedy swine to earn anyone any kind of freedoms. If freedom wasn’t free it would be called “expensivedom.”
And if Sheehan wasn’t a freak she’d be an … expensiveak.
Yes, that is why I am embarking on this fast. It is not because our nation—with the complacent, if not intellectual, approval of most of our citizens—is waging a war crime of mammoth proportions in Iraq. It’s not because our soldiers are committing atrocities on an innocent population who never asked for our lethal interference.
There’s that “respect for the troops” we’re always hearing about.
I am not fasting because our soldiers should not be dying or killing for Exxon and Halliburton. I am not sitting here with mild hunger pangs because our leadership condones and orders others to commit cruelties on my fellow human beings in such brutal places as Guantanamo. I am not fasting because the wrongfully, illegally, and immorally detained … [etc etc]
“Mild hunger pangs”? Well, at least she doesn’t exaggerate. Mike Moore suffers worse pangs just by reading the word “fast”.
Maybe people have to ascribe nefarious motivations to our actions because they can’t conceive of leaving their comfort zones for another member of humanity.
Leaving their comfort zones for other members of humanity? That would be soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ascribing nefarious motivations to their actions? Sheehan and her idiot band of food refuseniks.
UPDATE. Paco—hail Paco!—endorses Dave S’s suggestion that we commence a Rolling Pig-Out:
I’ll start by eating like a hog from 11:30 to 12:30, and then somebody else can take over. Or, we can all just hog down simultaneously.
It’s the least we can do.
- That the Danny Glover who owns the restaurant chain sells nothing but French Fries? On a hunger strike? Notify the stockholders!Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 07 06 at 09:31 AM • permalink
- What a barking idiot. Freedom isn’t by definition “free.” A lot of people for hundreds of years have fought and died to earn and maintain it, which she of all people should know. Please, Cindy, for the love of God, go away. I’ll even start a “Help Cindy Move To Venezuela” pledge drive to get the money you need to truly act on the imagined courage of your convictions.Posted by EmilyJones on 2006 07 06 at 09:37 AM • permalink
- She lost her credibility with everyone (who’s sane) when she joined Chavez. Her son doesn’t matter anymore. She’s become addicted to celebrity. And that’s an insult to those who lost their children in any conflict.
Tim’s article proves this whole thing is a joke. And didn’t Moore recently lose weight?
- Expensivedom? You have got to be kidding! Are we absolutely sure she isn’t a plant by the conservatives to make the liberal side look bad? Surely no one can be that much of a dumbass without some sort of head injury being involved?Posted by Mr Snuffalupagus on 2006 07 06 at 09:43 AM • permalink
- More brilliance from the sainted semi-literate skank (via Free Republic):
Standing apart from our hundreds of supporters were about a dozen Freepers who were holding various signs (which is as much there right, as it is ours)…
- That tears it. The beyotch is definately off my Christmas card list for good now.
She’d be much more impressive if she’d sew her mouth shut and refuse food for 24 days.Zarqawi pissed me off less than this maggot. At least that fucker knew what side he was on. She’s so shit-stupid she doesn’t. Go to hell Cindy along with all of your hollywood pussbucket friends.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say anywhere that our young people have to fight insane wars for greedy swine to earn anyone any kind of freedoms.
Idiot. The military is all volunteer.
Besides which, with her “…to earn anyone any kind of freedoms…”, I suppose she means no one else deserves freedom. How sweet.

- Cindy, heres 25c call someone who cares.
As you so desperately want the iraqis to live in squallor and tyrrany, you and your millionare supporters should go over and set up a “Saddam was a nice man” stall in any area bar his tribes one.
So dumb it hurts. up until the 20th century, with few exceptions, actors were considered little more than prostitues who youd have to haggle a little harder to screw. Nice to see fame can count as currency in the modern age…Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2006 07 06 at 10:04 AM • permalink

As to the rest of the feces…FLUSH!
- What’s so moronic about this too is that they’re making the fast because it’s a play on “get our troops out of Iraq fast”. I guess we’re lucky that the Left’s slogan on this isn’t “get the troops the shit out of Iraq” or they’d all be taking X-Lax–something not too pleasant to contemplate.
P.S. Shouldn’t Freepers be Expensers?

- I say we get up a pool to see how long she lasts. I give her a week before she has to stop fasting on the advice of a doctor and then flies off to some new rally somewhere.
As for that “rolling fast” by celebrities. That’s even more ridiculous than Sean Penn’s life-saving red plastic cup.
I used to think St. Mother was kind of sad and pathetic, but she had her funny moments. Now I just think she’s a a liar and a fraud.
- Come on Cindy, take the fucking ticket.
Remember you loved sucking Hugo’s chorizo.
I still think Cindy was a Sam. Remember all the equipment could have been changed. Facial transplants, didn’t occur, until recently. I’m sure with a blindfold, some Plastic Surgeon, could accomplish the complete transformation.
Well, with a barf bucket close by, anyway.
- This tiresome bitch has no concept of reality beyond her own narcissism. I’m tellin’ ya, watch for her to turn violent next.
And her definition of “expensivedom”? That alone oughtta be enough for her to get picked up by the straitjacket boys.
And big deal for the “celebrities” who join her on a one-day rolling fast. They just identified themselves even more, so I never see or purchase their product again. One frikkin’ day without food. How do they stand themselves?

- #16: I bet, as in the case of my grandfather’s one attempt at food preparation, even the dogs wouldn’t eat it.
#17: Excellent suggestion, Dave. Of course, my plebeian palate doesn’t fancy lobster tail, so I’ll have to make up for it in volume (I’ll take TWO of those Chick-Fil-A sandwiches, please, and a large order of fries.).
- I’m on an endless celebrity fast.
I fast from breakfast to lunch. After that, I fast until dinner. And then, it’s a fast until, wait for it, breakfast. Unless, of course, I have a snack.

Oh no! Wronwright’s been talking to that pretty reporter from the New York Times, again. Mr. Snuffalupugus must have seen the article in the latest edition. Cindy’s cover is blown!! Make note to arrange for submarine to exfiltrate her from beach off Venezuelan coast.

- I’m in with paco, but I have conditions.
1. All food to be endangered species, cooked over wood fire (exotic old-growth hardwoods only)
2. Really expensive wine (and some sparkling methylated spirits for the press)
3. Tables of 10, each table to have at least 1 representative from Big Oil, Big Aerospace and Big Alcohol on it (so we can network)
4. Cindy, while fasting, tied to a stake (steak?) in front of it all and forced to watch as we barbeque the last Ethiopian Mongoose (whatever).

- Alright, paco, you cheap bastard. We’ll go with volume. I’ll take the 12:30-1:30 shift. I’ve got leftovers from the Fourth – a couple burgers, some barbeque chicken, pasta salad, potato salad, beans, and chocolate cake with peanut-butter frosting. Oh, and a quarter-pound of penuche I picked up in Concord.
I’ll just mix it all up in a five-gallon pail. For freedom!
Soylent Sheehan, like the generic Soylent Hollywood would presumably all taste just like chicken.
Yeah, but it’ll be greasy and very badly cooked chicken-like taste. Remember what those Soylent beasts feed on. Oi!

- Cindy will come to a bad end.
Kafka had The Hunger Artist who was replaced in his cage by animals, when crowds were no longer interested in his act, and wound up out of work.
“In the last decades interest in hunger artists has declined considerably….’’ it starts.
- Edmond Jabes on freedom :
“Freedom awakens gradually as we become conscious of our ties, like the sleeper of his senses. Then, finally, our actions have a name.”
Um, American cooking does taste a bit plastic…
You’re going to have to define “American cooking”. Cajun? Southern? Barbecue? Southwest? Northeast? Northwest?
I might give you Midwest. I had some home-cooked meals in Illinois that needed flavor.
On the other hand, I had some lamb curry last week that tasted EXACTLY like Cincinnati-style chili.

What was that meal they served at “The Hungry Heifer” on Cheers? Oh, yeah: the “Carnivore Special” (sirloin steak smothered in pork chops, as I recall).
I don’t know, paco. I just remember Cliffy getting the loobster, that he thought was lobster, and Norm getting the bef. Best $1.25 steak in town, too, IIRC.
BTW, I had veal with pasta and a 1/2 slice of Italian bread at 1:15 EST. But I ate it fast; so does it not count?

Add mountain cooking. Pinto beans, fried potatoes, unsweetened corn bread baked in a cast iron skillet, a large slice of raw onion. Yum. Chicken and thick fresh dumplings, broasted potatoes, pickled corn, fried apples. Hmmmm.

And if you are in my neighborhood after about 1PM, try not to look like you are made of meat because it’s kind of a frenzy when I’m coming down.Posted by Matt in Denver on 2006 07 06 at 02:52 PM • permalink

- Exxon? What the hell? Is it 1989?
I can’t find any information online telling me that Exxon has any God-Damn thing to do with Iraqi oil.
Exxon isn’t pumping oil in Iraq. Exxon is buying Iraqi crude… which is what one expects a company that refines oil to do, yes?
Is the idea that supporting Iraq’s oil industry is inherently Evol (unless you’re ELF Aquitaine)?
- In other Madonna of the Ditch (not so new) news, at its June 27 meeting, in addition to unanimously passing the Peace and Justice Commission resolution to place an advisory measure on the November 7, 2006 ballot calling for impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard B. Cheney
(here’s the pdf if you care to read it), the Berzekeley City Council passed a Proclamation declaring June 27, 2006 as Cindy Sheehan Day in honor of Cindy Sheehan, a peace activist. “Berkeley is a better place to live now that Cindy Sheehan lives here,” said Councilwoman Betty Olds who sponsored the proclamation. Indeed, I can think of no one better suited to the Berkeley lifestyle than Mother Sheehan.Councilwoman Dona Spring, who sponsored the impeachment measure, was a guest on Michael Medved’s show today. She agrees with Cindy that it would be preferable to live under Hugo Chavez than George Bush and thinks Barbara Boxer would make a fine president. Berkeley is less than 75 miles from where I live. That’s too close.

Not sure of the wine, but sake would go marvelously well with it. Lots and lots… and lots of sake.

Unfortunately my local corner store is fresh out of panda steaks, but I’m going to try the sake neat AND in champagne just so I know the best one whenever the panda stiploin comes in.
So many sake and champagne brands to choose from…

- Sake and champagne! That’s just what the doctor ordered: DOSE: Whatever it takes to wipe away any thoughts about that sorry excuse for a worman, a mother, a human being, a live thing.
I’ll have the baby dolphin, poached in a nice shark fin stock, and served with a simple dill sauce. The sake/champagne ought to go with about anything, right RebeccaH?
- It’s about 11:30 PM in the eastern US, so I’m going on a hunger strike for about 8 hrs. After breakfast, I will be on a hunger strike until lunch.
For you antipodeans, here is a link to Hunger by Knut Hamsun. Hamsun’s affiliation with Fascism only reinforces the connection with Mother Sheehan.

Smothered burritos for breakfast, then again for 2nd breakfast! Looks like a nice day for that last deer roast in the freezer, too. Wonder if I have any chokecherry syrup for a marinade…
Well, I’m hungry now.
