New political tool: hunger strikes

[derspiess]

While not fat, Evo Morales might benefit from losing a few pounds.

Yep, he's a portly fellow.  Almost as if he's been preparing for the hunger strike all his life.

Anywho, I never quite understood hunger strikes.  Let them starve themselves to death if that's what they choose.

This is the sort of thinking that makes hunger strikes worthless in the United States.

[PDH]

What a ridiculous strategy, why would the opposition cave in? 

What the fuck does spelunking have to do with this?

Hip hip hooray for the good ol' USA!

If someone on a hunger strike gets weak enough from hunger you can just forcibly strap them down and hook them up to an IV so they won't die.

Yeah, but I've never understood why you'd bother.

I'm also me

And who the fuck is that?  Does BVN stand for Better than Valmy and Neil?

Not everything evolves around you, you know. 

It stands for Better than Vonmoltke and Neil...

I thought about taking the name BVVM&N but decided against it.

Because you don't want your political opponent to become a martyr.

Because you don't want your political opponent to become a martyr.

That's the sort of reasoning that often plagues villains on children's TV shows.  In real life, no man = no problem.  If he wants to kill himself, so much the better.

I've always wanted to be a villain on a children's tv show!

[Ed Anger]

Tim is a villain on Languish. His news posts sap the strength of the innocent.

[The Brain]

Innocent of what?

[Ed Anger]

Innocent of what?

I'm secretly a 12 year old girl, and all this naughty talk on this forum is bad.

Stephen Harper looked perturbed, usually he was able to hide his doubts behind a mask of political indifference, but today he could not.  "Gentlemen," he addressed Captain Canada and Barrister Boy, "Something terrible has happened.  Last night every history text book in Ontario was stolen and replaced with this," he placed a book upon the desk.  It was black and written on the cover was "The Paleologus-Ribbentrop Pact and the Founding of the Modern European State."

"Ye gods," exclaimed Barrister Boy as he thumbed through the book perusing page upon page of maps.  "It's alt-history."

"Poorly written alt history too," noted Captain Canada, reading over Barrister Boy's shoulder.

"That goes without saying," replied Stephen Harper.  "Only one fiend is so vile to have foisted alt-history on innocent children; Timothy Ortega."
