In our "Say Whaaaaat?" basket this afternoon, we have this oddness: The Virginia Family Foundation has announced "40 Days of Prayer, Fasting and Repentance," but hastens to add that participants don't actually have to give up eating. As the nice people at the UK-based Pink News point out, this seems a bit odd, somehow:
There were groups in India (in Tamil Nadu, I believe) who ran "rotation hunger strikes" as a form of protest. Each hour, one person in the group would not eat. Amazingly, they were able to sustain these hunger strikes for very extended periods.
(I just did a Google search to try to figure out who, and I see other groups have done rotation hunger strikes, though generally more serious ones.)
<i>As people don&rsquo;t actually have to give up food to take part, the group opposed to re-defining the definition of marriage seem to be re-defining the meaning of a fast.</i>
I think what they were trying to convey is that God is HOOPY.
a hoopy frood?
See next Wonkette story.

Needz moar Anus Burger!
At 2:42 it says that wives are supposed to be without wrinkles. So this is the Trophy Wife Gospel?
Too bad about the hall pass on the fasting. How funny would it be if the wingtards all starved themselves to death, for Leviticus?
He needs to get laid. Where&#039;s Mary Magdalene when you need her?
Not so much a &quot;fast&quot; as a &quot;slow&quot;, there.
Is that an ancient Michele Bachmann on the left, eating a corn dog?
