Cindy Sheehan's started a pick-a-time-slot fast to bring the troops home.  Slogan:  "Bring the troops home FAST" .... catchy, eh?  And a few Hollywoodites, Pink Cods (oops, I mean, Pink Codes) and bleeding heart libs are joining her. 

One or more days a week, mind you.  You just sign up.  Like, take turns.  And bring your own bottled water. 

Well, heck.  Why not? 

It's just the principle, yanno?  Like, who has the time to fast full-time anymore?  Good God -- folks could die fasting ALLLLLL the time!

Plus ... Gotta your hair done on Friday.  Gotta exercise at least once a week.  And there is the all-you-can-eat shrimp special at the bar on Tuesday's.  Book signings, blog writing and interviews on Monday.  You absolutely must play cards with the buds on Wednesday.  There's the Thursday girls-nite-out party.  Gotta get the nails done Friday afternoon .... Laundry?  Kids' soccer match? ... Church on Sunday ...  Cleaning the litter box.  Weekly staff meeting?  Don't forget the sauna ....  And political rallies -- can't miss a political rally. 

Fast????  As in go-without-food-for-a cause-until-you-die fast? 

ummmm .... Let me check my calendar....

OK, pencil me in for Saturday, 3 until 6 -- no, no, no -- make that 5.  I have a dinner party at 8.
