Occupy DC Hunger Strike Ends

WASHINGTON — Adrian Parsons started off his new year with some coconut water and broth.

Parsons and three other Occupy DC demonstrators stopped eating on Dec. 8, vowing not to consume anything other than water and vitamins until D.C. had been granted budgetary and legislative autonomy and full voting rights. Eleven days in, only Parsons was the still fasting. He made it nearly two weeks longer.

Just before 6 p.m. on Sunday, Parsons posted to Facebook that he was planning to end the strike. The broth, he said in a phone interview late Sunday night, “tastes like liquid chicken,” and he was so taken with the coconut water — mixed with a little honey — that he felt as if he could “smell the flowers the bees made the honey from.”

The often colorful and sometimes controversial story of Morgan’s rise to the top will be revisited Tuesday, when the former editor appears by videolink at a judge-led inquiry into the ethics and practices of Britain’s scandal-tarred press.

Making a call on a possible violation has always been at the heart of Pete Blasidell’s passion for being a top-echelon rules official.

So I love it when Peggy Noonan writes columns like this sweet and vicious contemplation of Newt Gingrich. We learn that Gingrich is detested most by those who worked with him—a powerful list of Republicans who are now “burning up the phone lines in Washington” to protest his recent surgelet—and that while there are two ways to view Gingrich, he is, in the end, his own greatest foe: “a human hand grenade who walks around with his hand on the pin, saying, ‘Watch this!’”

Noonan is an influential conservative, of course, a former Reagan scribe who is the closest thing the Wall Street Journal has to Maureen Dowd—a zeitgeist-chasing free-associater who gets some big things right, even if annoyance is the cost of admission. So it’s striking to watch Noonan tick off Gingrich’s accomplishments in the voice of a long-lost underminey friend:
