First, they starve their minds of common sense…, then their bodies of nourishment. What’s next…? Are they going to deprive the rest of us of their glorious presence by vanishing from the face of the planet…? No such luck, eh…?

Just before I graduated, a bunch of patchouli stinkers decided to “fast against the war” on the plaza by the student union. By the second day a spontaneous counter-protest BBQ was in full swing, and lasted well into the night. The hunger strike didn’t see its third day.

Personally, I’m fasting between snacks. It’s tough going, but I survive by having regular snacks.

That’s nothing! When I was an undergrad I fasted for months, consuming nothing that wasn’t fermented, carbonated, salted or contain trans-fats! Based on current dietary recommendations, I should have died several times by now.

“Minds so open their brains leaked out”–another Steve Taylor quote, Bryan? S.T. was quite a pundit back in the day.

Is it a real hunger strike or a Cindy Shehan style hungar strike.

Isn’t the word “fast” in conjunction with these clowns a contradiction?

Licorice nooses and brownie swastikas…. mmmmmmmmmm!

So when the noose becomes a liberal trickster, then what.

Oh, yeah, like the recent swastika incident at GW.

Fake, but ACCURATE!

So, how long does it take NY’s finest to review some surveylliance tapes?

Ya beat me to it! It would not surprise me in the least if it was one of their own, trying to stir things up.

“We plan to strike until the demands are met. If change comes slowly (which unfortunately it often has on the watch of this university) we will hold out, until change is made or doctors say we can go no longer.”

….Doc can you give me a note? I’m really really hungry and there has been no movement by the administration to meet out demands! It’s like they don’t really give as rats ass what happens to the five of us! What is wrong with this world? Every since Bush was handed the office of president by the supreme court….hand me that smoothie will you….no body cares about higher learning. It makes you almost sad to be alive.

Electrolyte body shots! Pardaaaayy!

Electrolytes for the body? I can see the following conversation:

Hey man, want a hit of acid?

No thanks, I don’t do LSD.

LSD? This ain’t LSD, it’s battery acid!

Inasmuch as these snot-nosed, children won’t be taking any time to eat [wink, wink], will they use it, instead, to bathe?

Don’t these students know that they have already won everything they could ask for at Columbia? The feckless president of Columbia, Lee Bollinger, invited Ahmadinejad to be the distinguished lecturer at Columbia. The Columbia MiddleEast Department is filled with radical proArab faculty members and is headed by Rashid Khalidi who believes the creation of the State of Israel was a great tragedy. Columbia is poised to give tenure to Professor Massad, a radical faculty member. Colubia did its own “study” of whether there was bias in the MidEast department and concluded that everything was peachykeen. Back in 1968, Columbia kicked ROTC off campus. Columbia was one of the universities that fought all the way to the US SC that Columbia can get federal money while refusing to allow the US military access to the campus. What planet are these students living on? There is nothing in the world like spoiled rich kids who think they are the proletariat.

Has anyone started a pool on how long they’ll last? I’m guessing tonight about the time pizza deliveries are hitting the dorms they’ll say they’ve made their point and its time to eat.

Um this may fall under “manufactured news event” but, here goes…

Hey, anyone living in NYC want to blanket a few of the food take out places around Columbia with orders (and mix it up – pizza, chinese, hot wings, and let’s not forget vegan!) and have the delivery guys converge on the protest tent…then kind of hang about with a video camera to see how long the “dedicated” fasters hold out and hold up….

Anyone? Bueller?

I went to grad school in Harlem, and of all the descriptions that come to mind, “one of the most important neighborhoods” does not even play well after a few drinks.

If someone has the money to bulldoze that area and most of the Bronx, get to it. “Hell Hole” is more like it.

Being a liberal means never being wrong. All you have to do is apologize if anybody was offended.

Just a slight correction: you don’t apologize if anyone (other than another liberal) was offended; you say how sorry you are that people mistook your satire, call to awareness, and/or “botched joke.”

You’d think their enlightened sense of rage at the Bush administration would burn off enough calories to get rid of the freshman 15. Guess not….

You mean sorta like when it turns out that the stripper at Duke wasn’t raped by the Lacrosse team……? We’ve seen what happens. Being a liberal means never being wrong. All you have to do is apologize if anybody was offended.

Thus, the hunger strike about a noose becomes a rally to free cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, make the university’s curriculum even more p.c., get out of Iraq, free Tibet, help Darfur, give free health care and puppy dogs to everyone on earth, end poverty, and give the world a Coke. Focus, people, focus.

Give the world a Red Bull if you want to accomplish all that! I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised considering the plethora of special interest causes that get tied to all the anti-war rallies.

So when the noose becomes a liberal trickster, then what. The one thing is sure. People who politically fast, starve themselves of facts.
