    In reply to Mia Farrow Quits Darfur Fast, Gets Weak Sauce Milkshake Drunk
    Well, I guess the publicity stunt didn't work out like she hoped, i.e. nobody cared and it certainly wasn't helping Darfur, so she quit. What a pompous ass. "If you don't help those people in Darfur I'm going to starve myself!"


    Fasting for starving people is like skipping your nap to help insomniacs.

    Mia Farrow got replaced by Richard Branson. And when Richard Branson falls out and needz a cheesburger, Michael Des Barres is going to take over.

    Considering how this crisis has been mishandled to mangled, the last person to ciritcize is Farrow. Is it celebrity grandstanding? I suppose, as is any famous folk support for good causes.


    Try going without food for 12 days. Hell, try being patient in the line in Starbucks. Most of the world doesn't live like we do.


    Believe me, I love filthy, sarcastic, dark humor, but this is just dopey.

    Q: "Maybe this is the easy party line, but doesn't the island-owning Branson have the coin to simply foot some of the bill in Darfur? Or to send a private security force in to help the situation?"


    A: Yes.


    The problem is that without permanent stabilization in the region with emergency stimulus and eventually foreign investment, Darfur will wind up the way it currently is in a relatively short period of time. They need an economy. It's the same problem with a lot of Africa. Enormous resources, but just too dangerous a place in which to sink money. This is a Catch 22. A government can not survive without an economy and an economy can't survive without a stable government. In the meantime, Darfur is dependent on the anemic UN to give them security and food when it can.


    Farrow did a good thing to keep the crisis in the papers.
