Like I had to ask...
RTÉ News: Penn, Sarandon to join anti-war hunger strike
Awwwww...Isn't that cute? They're so concerned! They are going to starve themselves to death to wake up all us little people.
Brave, brave, celebrities...we are unworthy of you...
American actors Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon are to join a hunger strike protesting against the war in Iraq.
...oops, hold on a minute...
The fast began outside the White House in Washington yesterday, 4 July.
Each protestor is to give up food for 24 hours, passing the fast from person to person every 24 hours.
WTF???
This "rolling fast", which has been organised by woman's anti-war group CodePink, is to last until 21 September, International Peace Day.
Instant translation: We don't have the courage to take our moronic politics to the logical conclusion and actually kill ourselves.
Musicians Willie Nelson and Spearhead's Michael Franti, together with actor Danny Glover will also join Penn and Sarandon in the strike.
Michael who?
Get a load of this, kiddies:
Eurweb: GLOVER, SHARPTON JOIN SHEEHAN HUNGER STRIKE
Heck, Al Sharpton won't last ten minutes without pastry.
Jim Treacher of Mother, May I sleep with Treacher? has an even better idea for America's intellectualoid glitteratti:
How about a rolling oxygen strike? 24 hours each?
If somebody told you that a bunch of big-time Hollywood stars were planning something called a "rolling hunger strike," you'd probably be all like, "I'll bet it's Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn and those idiots, right?" Wouldn't you, fascist???
Well, okay, fine, you're right.

We should send every one of these knuckleheads a copy of D. Keith Mano's The Bridge.
No, I take that back. They would think it describes paradise.
