Is It Just Me?
Or does hunting for a smoothie and having to settle for coffee with ice cream in it seem a rather odd way to fast?
I find traveling out of the country very challenging being on a fast. When I was on a layover in Madrid on my way to Venice, Italy yesterday, the closest thing I could find to a smoothie to get a little protein was a coffee with vanilla ice cream in it. Traveling for 22 hours is very taxing under normal circumstances–but then again, when have we had normal circumstances since the 2000 and 2004 successful coup attempts that have brought BushCo into power?
Personally, it sounds more like the Michael Moore fasting plan, but without the Big Macs. I don't think Cindy gets it. A fast is when you don't eat. What she's doing is hunting for the best Starbuck's in Europe.
Yeesh.
UPDATE: Other's suitably impressed with Cindy's dedication: John Hawkins, who suggests giving her chicken. We here have moved along from the chicken idea to the (we think) more ingenious drunken bear waving a barbecue chicken and jalapeno pizza. But the thought is there. UNCoRRELATED now needs a cause to dedicate his diet fast to. Florida Cracker wonders if it's appropriate to send sympathy cards. Sweetness and Light observes that half the women in California have not been dieting, they have been fasting!

Shocking! Cindy being hypocritical. She’s the typical 60’s hippie leftist who’s actions could never meet up with their promises. Fasting would be an inconvenience in her jet setting life – can you imagine what she’s shoving down that ugly mouth when the Press isn’t watching? I bet Cindy has a food stash in her bra or maybe she’s storing the food in those chipmunk cheeks

I uderstand that part of her fasting group, the celbs, will be doing “tag-team-fasting”, some call it the “fasting-relay”.
These clowns should talk to Dick Gregory, sometime comedian and civil-right activist, who really knew how to fast. He got to death’s doorstep, looking like a poster child for world hunger, before he was hospitalized.
Cindy and crew may have to send out for an emergency latte, but no more.

Yeah, the “fasting-relay” has been the subject of much derision around here….
