The media has labeled John McCain a “moderate maverick” and a reformer. That moniker could not be more misrepresentative of the core values of the current Republican candidate running for President. The real John McCain has a history of voting against women, veterans, education and the preservation of our civil liberties, in addition to abstaining completely from voting to safeguard our environment in 2007. McCain stated in January of 2008 at the March of Life in Washington DC, "If I am fortunate enough to be elected as the next President of the United States, I pledge to you to be...

Maybe he was sick of the lack of media attention…maybe he had enough of the late night talk show hosts poking fun at his age…maybe he realized that belonging to a party that has been associated with rich, white men was not going to connect with voters in this historical election year. Or maybe he was just ready to take back some of the spotlight that has shined so brightly on Barack Obama and the Democrats since the beginning of the Democratic convention. Desperation can motivate people to make some pretty cynical and hypocritical decisions. Whatever the reason, John McCain’s...

For the first time in her 47-year career, Barbra Streisand performed in Germany. Berliners loved her – and she gave them love back. The event was a long time coming for the 65-year-old performer, who reportedly never wanted to set foot in the country responsible for the Holocaust. But standing onstage at the Nazi-era, open-air Waldbuehne Theater, Streisand told some 18,000 fans she was "very happy to be here in Berlin, so happy to be here in your country. It's been many years." Streisand proceeded to wow the crowd with a two-hour show of jazz, movie and show tunes –...

Excerpt - LITTLE ROCK — Former president Bill Clinton said Monday that he remembered the moment he realized he made the shift from a world leader to a philanthropist. "One day I was shaving in my house up in New York and Ilooked at myself in the mirror, and I thought, 'My God, I've become an NGO (non-government organization),'" Clinton told a crowd of 300 people gathered at his presidential libary in downtown Little Rock. ~ snip ~ "My climate-change initiative is being funded by Barbra Streisand and Rupert Murdoch," Clinton said, delighted by the unlikely alliance between the actress...

During a recent concert Babs launched into one of her patented Bush tirades and when someone stood up to basically tell her to "shut up and sing", she responed as only a tolerant, compassionate lib could. Hit the link and allow the audio to load and play. If you have sensitive ears I suggest hitting the "STFU for kids" button. UNEDITED

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...

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...

Los Angeles -- Barbara Streisand may take the stage again — six years after her last public concert.

In the midst of a predictable episode of Bush Derangement Syndrome, Barbra Streisand castigates President Bush as "this C student," all the while littering spelling and grammar errors throughout her February 28, 2006 screed...

City JournalBarbra’s DictionaryWhat’s a lefty celebrity to do?!Stefan Kanfer 3 January 2006 Poor Barbra Streisand. In her long career, she has sung on Broadway and in films, recorded hit albums, made gazillions. She even has her own website, where she kind of blogs from time to time. But has all this brought happiness? She wanted Gray Davis to be governor, for example, and that awful Arnold won. Then there was the two-part miniseries about Ronald Reagan, disavowed by CBS after the network underwrote it—just because of a storm of protest from conservative radio programs and outraged bloggers. All that...

If there was ever a time in history to impeach a President of the United States, it would be now. In my opinion, it is two years too late. We should have done this before the election to spare the country the misjudgment, the incompetence and the malfeasance of this administration. Let us remember that UN weapons inspectors asked for more time to search Iraq for WMDs. Two months into their search, the Director General of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, stated that he found no evidence that Iraq had revived its nuclear weapons program since its...

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.

The idea of a liberal media bias is simply a myth. If only it were true, we might have a more humane, open-minded, and ultimately effective public debate on the issues facing the country. We may actually embrace the principles of liberalism, instead of using it as a tool to divide the nation. Everything good that has happened in this country is founded on the ideology of liberalism. Liberals in the past were liberators who fought for a woman's right to vote, and fought to end segregation in the United States and then to end apartheid in South Africa. Thanks...

The Republican Party and the Bush administration like to keep the public uninformed and in the dark as to what they are doing. This president has had fewer press conferences than any other president in recent history. It is difficult for the country to stay properly informed when we are constantly being fed half truths and lies of omission by the current administration. Every time they send a representative out to speak to the public, he is armed with the same set of message points and catch phrases creating an echo effect. After hearing the same message over and over...

I have been fortunate to receive a few awards in my lifetime, and I always appreciate them, but I must say that this is a very special one because the gay community has supported me from the very beginning. I know that this is a challenging moment in your history. So I am very proud to accept this award from the Human Rights Campaign at this time. You are on the frontlines in the struggle for equal rights, even as continued prejudice stands in the way. The American Constitution is a magical document that has evolved over 200 plus years....

<p>"Darling, a sponge fits in anywhere."</p> <p>So went the exchange between Barbra Streisand and the late great Kay Medford in "Funny Girl."</p> <p>BARBRA STREISAND'S admiration for Bill Clinton hasn't wavered, despite the fact that he is no longer president. Streisand was like a giddy school girl at a chi-chi dinner for California's Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, last week in L.A. (At the Pacific Palisades home of venture capitalist David Fisher.) Clinton, still wildly popular with Democrats, attended, and Barbra was starry-eyed, protective and affectionate with him.</p>

NEW YORK (AP) -- Barbra Streisand is reading the script for "Meet the Fockers," the sequel to 2000's "Meet the Parents," her husband, James Brolin, said in an interview on the syndicated "Access Hollywood" entertainment TV show. "I know she is reading it," said Brolin, in an interview to air Monday. Excerpts were released in advance. Streisand's participation as Ben Stiller's mother would mark a return to film for the 61-year-old singer-actress after an eight-year hiatus. She starred in 1996's "The Mirror Has Two Faces." "Meet the Parents" starred Stiller as Greg Focker, Teri Polo as Stiller's fiancee, and...

It is interesting to note: · Previosuly she said she never read the script nor discussed the movie with her hubby who played Reagan, yeah right. · When asked by the Big O what she thought of her husband playing Ronald Reagan she smirked and said that as long as they “told the truth about Reagan” she had no problem with it. · She now says “…I say MOVIE - because this is NOT a documentary - it's a television drama” and then has the gall to say “our constitution specifically included a ban on prior restraint in the First...
