#2 This could take a while. In the meantime, Diana, ponder the First Law of Hunger Strikes: in order for it to succeed, someone has to care whether you live or die.

#3 Wow--I give her credit for planning this out so far in advance. It obviously took lots of training and discipline to build up a reserve like that!

#4 Ha! You go on a diet and call it a hunger strike! Just select the left (=proper, can't use 'right' in this context) cause.

#5 Did she swear off weed, too? Or is the ACLU's Finest on the table?

#7 Query.... Does dear Diana happen to be an 'undocumented' protester (i.e illegal alien) herself?

#8 CF - my thoughts exactly.

But I didn't phrase it as a question.

#9 Can I bring an ice chest (behind the TV) to my next hunger strike too?

#12 For some reason I am reminded of this homeless kid who thought a "tent city" set up by college kids on a nearby campus would be a good place to spare change. They wouldn't give him any money because it was "bad" for him, but they wanted him to stay because he looked so "authentic". So they were full of hugs in the most clingy and patronizing way possible. But he didn't mind, because, as he said later, "I hope the *$*%##**%'s soon appreciate the fact that I've got crabs!"

#13 Just noticed this:

Diana Ponce talks on a phone in the yard...

YARD?! What yards have couches, end tables, and TVs?

#15 I've got to do it, I know that it is insennnnnsitive, but her **ahem** picture promped me to remember a song by the late Louis Prima, sung to the tune of Figaro, to wit:
Intro
I've got a woman as big as a house, yes sir!
She's as big as a two family house
with a porch and a fence!
You won't believe what you see when you look at her,
She's gigantic, fantastic, titanic, enormous, immense.
Why try to deny it she's just what I like.
If she goes on a diet, I go on strike!

chorus:
The bigger the figure, the better I like her.
The better I like her, the better I feed her.
The better I feed her, the bigger the figure.
The bigger the figure, the more I can love.

She's exactly like a water melon,
big and round and sweet.
And in a party dress, she may be quite a mess,
But I love her a lot, so what if she's not so neat?

[Chorus]

If she ever eats me outa money and we need the rent
But that'll be a cinch, 'cause when we're in a pinch
I can put her to work under a circus tent!

[Chorus x2]

[/insensitive satire]

#16 Whole Lotta ~~Rosie~~ Diana

#17 Heh, AP. Much higher-brow than what came to my mind: The Last Boy Scout, scene outside the club where Halley Barry dances, alleyway, fight with big guy who gets the drop on him, Willis tells him about how useful flour is with Big Mamas... kills him with laughter.

#18 look for the wet spot? Jeez, I've heard that a thousand times!

#19 Two thoughts:

1. This could be a loooong hunger strike.

2. "After the death of her husband last year, Suha Arafat's fortunes took a turn for the worse. Now living in a tent near a homeless shelter in Ramallah, . . ."

#20 If this is a hunger strike, what's in the cooler with the bucket of hog slop on top?

Could that be lubricant gel and hand sanitizers on the oh-so-cutsie cinderblock bedside table? Funny that you'd mention Arafat, Mike. :)
