Drudge put these photos next to each other. Way to go, Matt. MIDI - THE WAY WE WERE Memories before Brolin went insane He could just not take it any more Oh, such mental pain When it's bedtime and he's turning off the light He was next to something hideous I feel for his plight He could have really made a better choice Perhaps a putrid old rotting skull If only he had listened to my voice Yes, he could have...should have Memories...running naked down the street He was screaming as the neighbors watched The loss of his mind's complete...

More than 1,000 tickets for the first United States concert tour of Barbra Streisand in more than a decade have been invalidated because they were bought with stolen credit card information, The Associated Press reported yesterday. Organizers announced that the tickets, bought through Ticketmaster, turned up on various Internet resale sites. With tickets priced at $100 to $750, the 19-performance tour is to begin in Philadelphia on Oct. 4. (Performances in Madison Square Garden are scheduled for Oct. 9 and 11.) The national promoter, Michael Cohl, and Ms. Streisand’s manager, Martin Erlichman, warned that no one holding the invalidated tickets...

People who need people are in luck. People who need tickets might be screwed. A host of Barbra Streisand fans will not be singing a happy tune Tuesday in light of Ticketmaster's announcement that more than a thousand tickets for Streisand shows in Atlantic City, New York, Las Vegas and several other venues were purchased using stolen credit card numbers from the company's Website, and therefore are no longer valid. The ticket peddler said that all Streisand tickets found to have been purchased with bogus info have been invalidated, leaving those who purchased any of the tickets in question through...

The Mirror Has Two Faces -- and Two Chins Oscar-winner Barbra Streisand was in total "Desperate Housewives" mode as she showed up in public at the construction site of her new home in Los Angeles Wednesday, sporting frumpy -- everything. Let's hope (for her sake) the disheveled diva cleans up before her high-priced concert tour in October.

Just call her money girl - Streisand tix demand off as price skyrockets By Scott Van Voorhis Boston Herald Business Reporter Friday, June 30, 2006 - Updated: 07:35 AM EST The days of being the music world’s top-priced ticket may just be memories now for Barbra Streisand. The 64-year-old crooner with a taste for trendy, lefty causes earlier this month rolled out grand plans for a 20-concert tour, her first in 10 years. But after taking a look at her ticket prices - including $5,000 deluxe packages - even Babs’ die-hard limousine liberal fans may be having second thoughts. And...

Uber-diva Barbra Streisand and TV actor James Brolin might be millionaires many times over, but don't expect them to pay $20 for a pair of movie tickets. Arriving at the Mann Agoura Hills 8 near their Malibu, Calif. estate to see "Mission: Impossible III" on Friday, the 64-year-old singer-actress and her hubby, 65, wheedled their way into free seats by schmoozing a teenage theater employee, the New York Daily News reports.

Here's one sure way to incite Barbra Streisand's wrath: Write a book about her. Christopher Anderson has learned that with his recently published biography, "Barbra: The Way She Is." Streisand has retaliated not with interviews or public statements, but by way of the Internet. On her Web site, she has issued a response she titles "Does the Truth Matter These Days?" "Normally, I would not dignify vicious, mean-spirited mythology masquerading as biography," she begins. "But it seems this latest rehash of other unauthorized biographies is getting a lot of attention. "Who is the person described in this book? From what...

Two years before 9/11, Presidential candidate George W. Bush was already privately talking about invading Iraq. Mickey Herskowitz, a long-time Bush family friend who worked with the candidate as a ghostwriter on his memoir, claimed Bush was obsessed with the notion and was simply just looking for justification to do so. Less than a year into his presidency, the warmongering Bush Administration was given the perfect rationale for waging a war: combating terrorism. Immediately following the 9/11 attacks, Bush saw himself surging to historical highs in the polls. His cabal of advisors saw the opportunity to cement their place in...

U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) today introduced legislation to provide for the Purple Heart to be awarded to all prisoners of war who die in captivity, regardless of the cause of death. The “Honor Our Fallen Prisoners of War Act,” which was previously introduced by Representative Bob Filner in the House, would make members of the Armed Forces who die in captivity under any circumstance eligible to receive the Purple Heart. Currently, only prisoners of war who die during their imprisonment of wounds inflicted by an instrument of war are eligible for posthumous Purple Heart recognition. Those who die of...

Streisand Cancels LA Times Subscription 2 hours, 52 minutes ago LOS ANGELES - Barbra Streisand has canceled her subscription to the Los Angeles Times over the firing of the paper's liberal columnist. The newspaper dropped Robert Scheer and several other columnists last month; Scheer speculated he was let go because the Times had tired of his politics. Perhaps the most liberal voice on the paper's opinion pages, Scheer had been a Times columnist for 12 years. He was a reporter for the newspaper for 17 years before that. "Robert Scheer's column, with its often singular voice of dissent and groundbreaking...

When it came to pardoning terrorists, discussing troop movements while being pleasured by an intern, running an obstruction-of-justice operation out of the Oval Office and suborning and committing perjury, Barbra Streisand put Bubba blinders on. Streisand was able to skillfully limit her scope of vision whenever any dirty deeds involved her dream prez, Bill Clinton. The singer-activist had a particularly large blind spot when it came to the Clinton-era Lincoln Bedroom sales. Not so long ago the New York Post let the cat out of the bag about Streisand's own overnight stay in the Lincoln Bedroom and how the sleepover...

"I don't own a single share of stock!" filmmaker Michael Moore proudly proclaimed. He's right. He doesn't own a single share. He owns tens of thousands of shares – including nearly 2,000 shares of Boeing, nearly 1,000 of Sonoco, more than 4,000 of Best Foods, more than 3,000 of Eli Lilly, more than 8,000 of Bank One and more than 2,000 of Halliburton, the company most vilified by Moore in "Fahrenheit 9/11." If you want to see Moore's own signed Schedule D declaring his capital gains and losses where his stock ownership is listed, it's emblazoned on the cover of...

Despite statements to the contrary from the director of the National Hurricane Center, Barbra Streisand is declaring a "global warming emergency." "We are in a global warming emergency state and these storms are going to become more frequent, more intense," the singer, actress and liberal activist told Diane Sawyer of ABC News.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadians can put away those extra welcome mats -- it seems Americans unhappy about the result of last November's presidential election have decided to stay at home after all. In the days after President Bush won a second term, the number of U.S. citizens visiting Canada's main immigration Web site shot up sixfold, prompting speculation that unhappy Democrats would flock north. But official statistics show the number of Americans actually applying to live permanently in Canada fell in the six months after the election.

How lucky for George Bush that his well-timed nomination of Judge Roberts to the Supreme Court has taken the heat off of Karl Rove. Let's hope that the press does not forget about Mr. Rove and the White House's role in the leak of undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity. The Fitzgerald investigation and the Rove story are too important to stay off the front page. Not only does it reveal the truly secretive and subversive nature of this administration, but it exposes the major National Security implications of disclosing the identity of a covert intelligence officer. In addition, the...

According to senate minority leader Harry Reid and his friends, democrats must block the constitutional appointment process in order to protect you from right-wing radical judges. They say they use the filibuster only in the most extreme situations, to block confirmation of extremely dangerous radicals to the bench for sake of all mankind. Heroes they are really, at least in their own minds… I can almost see their point too. Who would want some extreme right-wing wacko deciding justice in America? I mean, what if judges actually just stuck to the written law and constitution and applied them to cases...

It's only appropriate that we Republicans - in the spirit of appreciation, graciousness, charity and comity - give thanks to those whose contributions were instrumental in securing control of both houses of Congress, a majority of governorships, a plurality of state legislatures, a clear majority of the popular vote (for the first time in 16 years) and, of course, the re-election of President George W. Bush.
