Code Pink still stuck in Greece
If you remember, the last time we heard from Code Pink on their flotilla to Gaza, the Greek coast Guard intercepted them because their boats didn’t have the proper authorization to leave the port. Apparently they’re still stuck there and they’ve threatened a fast in protest;
Demand that U..S government pressure Greece to free their boat and captain, and allow boat to sail to Gaza
Members of the U.S. Boat to Gaza have begun an open-ended fast calling on the U.S. government to defend our right to sail out of Greece. The fast has begun in front of the U.S. Embassy at 91 Vasilisis Sophias Avenue in Athens. Fasters delivered an urgent letter to the Embassy and plan to sleep overnight outside the Embassy gates.
Passengers and U.S. boat organizers participating in the fast are: Medea Benjamin, Ken Mayers, Paki Wieland, Kathy Kelly, Ray McGovern, Helaine Meisler, Nic Abramson, and Carol Murry.
And there’s no solidarity with the fasters, other members of the flotilla thought it was a little extreme, apparently;
Nothing like trying to fast with a barbeque going on at the same time.

I guess using lower-case for “july 4” is intentional. Morons…
Yep that is what I would have done. Place food in arms reach and easy access and see how long that lasts.
*sigh* More and more, these people sound like they need to be turned over someone’s knee and paddled.
Yep, bet that lasted all of two minutes…Goat Dogs and Burgers anyone?
Oh, what I wouldn’t give to have some spanikopita, a couple of gyros dripping with tzatiki sauce, and a huge hunk of saganaki (fried cheese, usually feta) with lemon squeezed on top.
Then to eat it in front of all those starving idiots (upwind of them, of course) and the looks on their faces.
This reminds me of the scene in “Days of Thunder” where Fred Thompson’s character is chewing out the drivers:
“Now y’all heard of a “Japanese Inspection?” Japanese Inpsection, you see, when the Japs get in a load of lettuce they’re not sure they wanna let in the country, why they’ll just let it sit there on the dock ’til they get good and ready to look at. But then of course, it’s all gone rotten… ain’t nothing left to inspect. You see, lettuce is a perishable item… like you two monkeys.”
Sounds like the Greeks are having a “Japanese Inspection” in reverse.
#5 Yum!
Surely the benefactor of Code Pink can pay, in true hard acceptable cash, for the repairs and exit fees for these folks, right?
What’s the going price in Greece these days for drowned rat?
Is this another one of their Code Pink fasts where they only drink water? And smoothies? And protein shakes?

You beat me to it. Seem to remember Cindy Shithen the Ditch bitch fasting in that fashion………
These Socialist wenches don’t have the intestinal fortitude to do an actual, real, fast.
Startimers. Running out the clock on their 15 minutes of fame.
So what happnes to them? Do they stay in Greece and live off the country, government, or just start walking home, to gaza, then stay there and never come back to the United States ever again in their life times.
Case Closed.

They won’t be walking home, which is America. As for living off of Greece: only if they’re willing to pay for Greece’s largesse. That country’s a bit strapped at the moment.
Heh……hope those were teh pork hot dogs……the rest of the flotilla would heart that bigtime!
