Here's a good use of one's time:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - About 150 protesters sat in front of the White House on Monday to savor their last meal before starting a hunger strike that some said will continue until American troops return from Iraq.
The demonstration marking the Independence Day holiday was organized by CodePink, a women's anti-war group that called on volunteers to abstain from eating for 24 hours from midnight on Monday.
Some protesters said their fast would continue beyond July 4th.
Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq, said she would drink only water throughout the summer, which she said she would spend outside President George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas.
For once, Cindy Sheehan has my full suppport. But I give her less than a day in the Texas heat in July with nothing but water. My guess is that this will last about as long as Saddam's hunger strike.
But again, if she wants to stop eating, she has my support. Go Cindy!
