The cat's on a hunger strike. It's refusing to eat the largequantities of cut-price tinned cat food its owner tried to feed it. It's been three days now and neither party is willing to negotiate. The cat hasn't actually tasted the tinned meat,it's the principle of the thing. Cats do NOT eat cut-pricefood. As a result of all this the cat is hoovering up every disgusting morsel of food it can find i

Sherm “The Fin” Larson, Lake Minnetonka walleye activist.
“If anglers from the Minneapolis area think that they are going to catch some walleyes in Lake Minnetonka this year,” says Sherm Larson, “they are going to face a huge disappointment. All walleyes from fingerlings and older will be abstaining from all leeches, crawlers, minnows, and other delicious [...]
Torontoist Photos, May 10 2008Today is May 11, 2008 and Stefan Marinoiu is continuing the Autism Hunger Strike that he began on May 5 outside Queen's Park in Toronto. If the decision was mine to make I would end Stefan's hunger strike now. With his existing diabetes condition Stefan's health is at serious risk. But the decision is not mine to make. The decision is Stefan's and he showed dur
There are many ways parents and other concerned citizens can advocate for health, treatment, education and residential services for autistic children and adults. Some join organizations, hold awareness meetings with government, business and the public, write letters to the editor and so on. Stefan Marinoiu of Toronto, who I met a couple of weeks ago during the recent Medicare for Autism Campaign NOW! visit to Toronto and Oakville, goes much further. Stefan has put it all on the line advocating for autism. And he is doing it again, right now. Stefan began a hunger strike for autism on May 5 outside Queen's Park in Toronto.This winter Stefan walked for 11 days, over more than 200 miles, from Toronto to Ottawa, in the middle of a tough Canadian winter, blizzards and all, in an effort to meet

Mansour Al-Timani, husband of Fatima, and daughter, Noha, 2./Photo courtesy Saudi Gazette Remember Fatima, the Saudi woman who was forced to divorce her husband because her brothers thought the husband's tribal background was beneath her family? Well, now she is on a hunger strike. Readers who are following this story should consider the fact that she is in a women's shelter, which is basically a prison, while the Saudi judicial system and the Human Rights Commission sorts this mess out. Fatima is demonstrating more courage than anyone could expect. She is obviously committed to one thing: Being reunited with the man she loves and to live their lives as husband and wife. She is demonstrating her commitment by putting her life on the line.Here are links to a previous Arab news article an
In commemorating International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, Angered by the hardening stance on immigration-related issues, Elvira Arellano will be holding hunger strike outside the US Embassy. She told the the Prensa Latina, “On behalf of the thousands of undocumented people, we demand the end of abuse against Mexicans in US territory.”
Elvira Arellano spoke out in behalf of thousands of immigrant women here in the United States. She demanded that Mexican families living in the United States receive decent treatment and being treated as terrorist. Unfortunately, here in the US, immigrant women are violently separated from their children. Arellano’s message should be a reminder that an immigrants journey North is to seek work, in order to provide a better future for their family.
When it comes to violence against women, it is a direct consequence of the inequalities between women and men. Poverty, marginalization and certain aspects of women&rsq
Imran Khan, Pakistan MP and leader in the Movement for Justice party, has been released from jail today. What does this mean for his cause, the reason why he was protesting and hunger striking..? I hope that this question is not missed in the frenzy of reporting that he has been released. The judges who were sacked are still sacked. The new “Puppet Judges”, have already dismissed the main challenges to Musharraf’s re-election, that the previous Judges were not prepared to do, which stood in Musharraf’s way. Has anything changed?
From english.aljazeera.net:
More than 5,000 people detained during Pakistan’s state of emergency, including opposition leader Imran Khan, have been freed from jail over the past two days.A second batch of detainees were allowed out on Wednesday just hours after Khan’s sister told the AFP news agency that the former Pakistan cricket captain had stopped taking water [and food].

Paris Hilton while still in prison was said to be on a hunger strike. Her weight got down to 100 lbs, and the medical staff out her on IV to preserve her health. As it turns out from a later report, it wasn’t a hunger strike in the traditional sense. Paris was simply afraid that some one might photograph her while sitting on the toilette. As silly as it may sound to stop eating for this reason, a person with her background can never be too careful. If the perpetrator were careful enough, his or her identity could very well stay a secret; and a picture of Paris Hilton sitting on the john may be worth several tens of thousands of dollars.
While behind bars, according to her attorney, Paris Hilton passes her time reading fan mail.
Another shocker that Paris may have had sex with Jack Osbourne (son of rocker Ozzy Osbourne) at one point. She was caught on camera joking with Jack Osbourne about sex while he acted as a special correspondent at a Simms computer game launch party. The r
Temple of the Dog was a one-album project conceived in 1990. The purpose of Temple of the Dog was to pay tribute to the late Andrew Wood, the lead singer of Mother Love Bone, who died of a heroin overdose in 1990. Following his death, Mother Love Bone broke up, but Wood's bandmates Jeff Ament (bass) and Stone Gossard (guitar) decided to continue working together. Before Ament and Gossard formed a new band, they assembled Temple of the Dog, recruiting Chris Cornell (vocals) and Matt Cameron (drums) from Soundgarden to form the core of the group. Temple of the Dog also featured contributions from then-unknown vocalist Eddie Vedder and guitarist Mike McCready. Temple of the Dog recorded their eponymous album in 1990, releasing it at the end of the year on A&M Records. The album received positive reviews upon its release, but didn't chart until the summer of 1992, when Pearl Jam -- a band Ament, Gossard, Vedder, McCready, and drummer Dave Krusen formed in late 1990 after the completion o
This just infuriates me. I know damned well that some lawyer, reporter or bleeding heart Democrat is advising them to do this stupid shit. My response to a hunger strike? Cool! Saves me from having to feed you scummy bastards. How did we allow ourselves to get so tied up in political correctness that this is even an issue? We have the leftists more concerned about terrorists than our own soldiers. I am in a foul mood today from reading leftanista blogs and this just pisses me off totally. Let them starve themselves to death. This isn't even an issue for me. It's on par with a child saying "I am going to hold my breath until I die!". They will get hungry enough to stop this foolishness or they will die. Either way it is their own decision. Do you think they would be so concerned about one of us? No. They would behead us and not give it another thought. People just do not get it that we are in a fight to the death with radical Islam. And the Democrats are on the side of our e
