Godspeed Alan!
Judy Collins - Now, There's a voice!
Please nobody tell me she's a whacked out liberal.
But it took the infamous George Ryan to raise the price of those plates from $45 to $78
Yes, the Sinatra version is good also. I'd rate Streisand's as an "also ran". Frankly, I didn't know she'd done that song, although it's not surprising.
The $78 was just the the road tax.
If you wanted new plates you had to shell out an additional $22.
She probably is, but she still has a great voice.
I did a google search on her plus I got a Freep mail and both agree - She's a hopeless lib. I never cared for Streisand - politics or singing.
Don't ever peek like that again. You just enjoy the music that you enjoy and don't worry about what crazy thoughts might be lurking in an entertainer's head.
LOL. Maybe the flip side of "Shut up and sing" is "Shut up and listen." ;-)

Luis, here’s a news flash for you. The Illinois Republican Party has OFFICIALLY picked Keyes as their candidate. THERE ARE NO OTHER REPUBLICANS LEFT IN THE RACE. The Senate is currently divided 51-49. You either support Keyes or you support Obama. If you want to cast your lot with the crack-smoking socialist from Hawaii, please stop posting on FR and instead visit www.obamaforillinois.com , I’m sure he’ll be happy to have your “crossover” support to knock off another Republican seat in the Senate.
If you’re going to continue giving ammo to Obama though, please stop lying about yourself and claiming to be a “broken glass Republican”. No sane Republican wants to give the Chicago DEMOCRAT machine any MORE control over Illinois.
The most amazing thing about you anti-Keyes people is way you refuse to accept the candidate because he was choosen by the party committee after the original candidate dropped out, though all you “moderates” had NO problem when the California RINO Party “officially” got behind the Austrian liberal when there were STILL other Republicans on the ballot. Who picked Arnold in the PRIMARY? No one! I guess it’s OKAY for the RINO Party of California to dictate who every Republican should vote for, but the Illinois Republican Party isn’t ALLOWED to find a replacement candidate if the original candidate DROPS OUT, eh?
It’s also pretty laughable that you question Keyes credentials because he has critized the President from time to time and doesn’t agree with him on 100% of the adminstration’s agenda. Keyes endorsed Bush in 2000 and has had many favorable things to say about aspects of the Bush adminstration over the years. The Bush adminstration won’t give Keyes the time of day and didn’t even let him have a speaking spot in 2000, though RINO McCain got one. I would hope they reconsider, but I will vote for Bush regardless.
Besides, in YOUR state, you’re backing the Johnny-come-lately RINO who whole-heartily campaigned and donated to Dukakis in 1988, so we know how much value you put behind whether a candidate has always been “loyal” to the GOP. Now, as you know, I don’t like your RINO candidate in Florida one bit, but IF the party nominates him, I will hold my nose and support him like any sane Republican would do. Doing otherwise is called “cutting off one’s nose to spit in their face”.
Finally, we Illinoisans don’t need non-Illinoisans to lecture us on Keyes being a “carpetbagger”. You see, Keyes’ primary vote in OUR state was one of the HIGHEST in the nation, and he actually won MORE votes in Illinois than four of the “also-rans” in Illinois from this year’s Senate primary. A guy who actually won primaries, as held political office, and received over 66,000 votes from Illinoisans has more of a “mandate” to represent our values than a guy who lost primaries, never held political office, received 19,000 votes, and happens to live here.
One again, it’s Keyes or Obama. Pick one. If you cast your lot with a candidate who ran to the LEFT of Black Panther Bobby Rush, it’s your choice. The DNC will be happy to send you a membership card soon.

If that's true, we can only admire him more.
Luis, the GOP wants Keyes to run. The President wants Keyes to run. Jim Robinson wants Keyes to run.
So, if you're trying to say Keyes is disloyal, you better take a look in the mirror.
Keyes is one of the very best orators in the US today.
I think he'll rough Obama up some, but I don't think illinois voters will accept him as a senator.
Have you been going all over the Internet trying to find quotes that make Dr Keyes look bad?
What are you doing to yourself, Luis? You used to be a well-respected name, around here. If you don't like Dr Keyes, okay, you've made your point a hundred. Now stop stalking his supporters' threads and go do something useful. Cheers, Byron
"I am a conservative. I'm part of that group of conservatives in the party who is not altogether happy with G. W. Bush. I see lots of reasons to find fault with steps that he has taken in various areas, but I'll tell you one thing: I think it's time that everybody in this country understand that when we are faced with a threat to our very survival, we put aside other things and we focus on the fact that we have at the helm somebody who is--even if, let us say for a minute that Iraq was a mistake, as some people are trying to argue. I'd rather have a president who errs on the side of defending this country, and going after our enemies, than somebody like John Kerry who wants to sit on his butt and does nothing while Americans die. And I think that's the key issue here." -- Alan KeyesAnd:http://renewamerica.us/archives/media/interviews/04_03_30hannity.htm
COLMES: Can you tell me what George W. Bush has done that's good for the African American community?KEYES: I think the most important thing that G. W. Bush has done is what he's done that's good for America: he has stood against this country's enemies. I don't remember on September the 12th that we counted the bodies in terms of who was black and who was white. Thank God that day we remembered that we were all of us Americans--and G. W. Bush has been a president standing against that evil for the sake of all Americans, and that's what I think people will appreciate.

Maybe, maybe not. Just taking the shine off Obama is an important objective.
The bottom line is, you have to get out on the playing field and have a go, if you want to accomplish anything. I think if Dr Keyes is prepared to go into a lion's den like Illinois, the least FR can do is support him. So, how about it?
Thanks. I'm no expert, on liberal music.
Can you post an after-action report, Laura? Maybe even, pics? There's a stack of Freepers who'd really appreciate it. Hope you don't mind me asking, all the best, Byron
Samuel Johnson said that a second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
So is a Keyes candidacy in Illinois.
His Y2K campaign staff put together an inept campaign, which is an indication that he is a poor administrator.
Connie Hair was his communications director.
