I didn't realize you were still fasting - how many days has it been? We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country. Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. - Abraham Lincoln

Can I be a scared, wet blanket for a sec? You do drink water right? And do you get anything in your system to keep you from getting sick? I applaud what you are doing, and I have fasted myself, I just worry about you in the heat. Be well, and we send our love to you and all of the attendees at Camp Casey! :)

I appluad your persistance! and the wisdom of giving your body at least some of what it needs... I've been water fasting two days a week in solidarity with you... Wednesday and sundays.. It is amazing how that hunger focuses the will... "Let us not be conservative with compassion. Be generous with compassion."

thank you for the support! it is very amazing...and solid food is overrated! with all of the travel i do, i don't think i would have lasted very long on a water fast!

Now please my well informed and highly intelligent readers, is this farce of a "motivated" activist smearing her son's deeds and name actually in the process of a water fast, much less an actual fast. Did you notice that even some of her fans were surprised that she was still on this "hunger strike" too. To give you some background on me, I have over 16 years in the long term care industry. Many of my residents (I do not call or refer to them as patients, there is a difference) were on liquid diets. This consists of almost the exact same diet minus the high nutrient drinks under and malnourished people get, that Cindy is now on. Would this not also explain the recent pictures of her seen in the media that presents her body being just as pudgy as ever? She is making a mockery out all the previous individuals that have actually done a true fast for a cause. May the suffragettes be rolling in their graves and raising their fists in anger! With one piece of slime tended to, now its time for the next. Of course Cindy's boy toy. According to La Cronica, Hugo is now implementing his typical facist communist mix of education into the school systems.

El régimen chavista está formando “brigadas revolucionarias infantiles”, y el plan se inscribe dentro del proceso de reforma a la educación en Venezuela. El propio Aristóbulo Istúriz, ministro de Educación declaraba el 28 de julio: “Sí estoy politizando la educación, y que?”. En el marco del III Congreso Pedagógico Nacional, el funcionario declaraba ante miles de educadores que “para cambiar el actual modelo de educación es necesario tener un piso ideológico y político, pues sin política no hay pedagogía y sin ellas no hay educación”. El Proyecto Nacional de Educación, alentado por Chávez y ejecutado por Istúriz, pretende adoctrinar a las nuevas generaciones sobre la revolución bolivariana, sobre la fórmula de unificar a Sudamérica como un bloque comunista que luche contra el “imperialismo”.

Nothing like starting the lil tykes off early into you personal flare of government sponsered brainwashing. Oh but he doesn't stop there with his thugish actions, he is content with being the true rectal drainage for the world to see in a recent discussion with Al-Jazeera. MEMRI has the rundown of this.

I certianly hope you enjoy this entry.
