STREISAND DECLARES 'GLOBAL WARMING EMERGENCY'
THE SUPERSTAR SONGSTRESS SERENADED SAWYER WITH STORM SEASON ASSERTIONS. BUT TO SOME SHE'LL SOUND MORE LIKE A WINDSOCK SINGING LIBERALISM'S GOLDEN OLDIES!
NEW YORK -- This summer's back to back superstorms are proof positive we have entered a new period of "global warming emergency," artist/citizen Barbra Streisand warns.
Streisand is back on the scene to promote her reunion disc with Barry Gibb.
As hellstorm "Rita" churned in the Gulf, Streisand sat down for a promotional interview with ABCNEWS's Diane Sawyer.
"We are in a global warming emergency state, and that these storms are going to become more frequent, more intense," Streisand urgently declares.
But Sawyer did not remind Streisand that a category 5 hurricane struck the Bahamas with 160 mph winds -- when the singer was five years old, in 1947!
And when Streisand was 8 years old, a hurricane -- named "Dog" -- packing 185 mph churned-away in the Atlantic.
When she was 9, a storm named "Easy" ripped the seas with 160 mph sustained winds.
Streisand was 13 years old when "Janet" hit Mexico with 150 mph winds.
Streisand was celebrating her sweet sixteen as "Cleo" formed with 140 mph.
At 18, Streisand read news about "Donna" AND "Ethel" -- both storms carried 140 mph winds and formed 9 days apart in 1960!
One year later, when Streisand was 19, it happened again: Two Category 5 storms scared the world: "Carla" and "Hattie!"
"Carla" maxed out at 175 mph winds the year Streisand made her television debut on "The Jack Paar Show."
And who could forget Hurricane "Camille" -- which smashed into the United States with 190 mph, just as "Funny Girl" garners eight Academy Award nominations, including one for Best Picture and one for Barbra as Best Actress.
Up next on the weather warning watch, Streisand says to ABC: "There could be more droughts, dust bowls. You know, it's amazing to hear these facts."
Developing...
"If she's so worried about Global Warming, shouldn't she lead the way and give up her huge mansion on the coast that is eating electricity at an phenomenal rate?"
In socialist utopia, the liberal elites get to keep their mansions, private planes, and SUVs. The rest of us have to live in public housing and ride the bus.
Says Babs, "We are in a global warming emergency....oh yeah, please buy my new c.d."
Next week the MSM will buttress BS's Global Warming Emergency by getting a second opinion from a leading meterologist -- Madonna!!!
No, she has no knowledge or expertise to do that, either. Let's say she has neither authority nor brainpower (R. Lee Ermey once said she has an alligator-sized mouth and a hummingbird-sized brain.
But who can declare disasters/emergencies? I'm thinking...the president, maybe. Barbara Streisand? Nope.
..."from a leading meterologist -- Madonna!!!"
Rosie O'Donnell will vouch for them.
"Hollywood Nut Ping...."
Double nuts, double stupid. The canary is imbecilic.
Excuse me....I am going to go hide under my bed.
The "moron" graduated from Harvard Medical School before becoming an extremely successful novelist, screenwriter, film director, etc. Sorry, but he's a certified very smart guy.
You might do better to cite the portions of his speech that you disagree with.
Watch this! I pull my finger and the earth heats up another degree!
Words of wisdom from my father (as heard over the weekend) - we passed by a group of anti-fur protestors on Bond Street and he said, "If we listened to all of these environmental and animal rights groups, human beings would be reduced to being primitive, starving or dead."

The beauty of environmentalism, as with any religion, is that faith requires not a shred of proof. And so it is with the enviros and their ilk, it's more about articles of faith than about conclusions based on the evidence.
"Why is it these loons expect us to give up what little we have while they savor their wealth?"
I give you the example of the former Soviet Union. The "elite" had everything that they desired...shopped at special stores...lived in reserved housing...had dachas in the resort areas. All this while the "masses" lived like rats from day to day not knowing which long line to stand in for bread, shoes, toilet paper, etc.
This mad cow is a communist and wishes the return of the communist "utopian" state where she is an elite and you and I are the masses. The American "elite" use global warming, overpopulation, the starving third world, homeless, etc as ways to remove what we have so that soon we, too, will be standing in lines.
That does it! I believe it now!
Five Fireplaces for burning carbon based wood fuel.
A heated olympic sized swimming pool when she lives 100 feet from a pool 1/4 the size of the earth.
100,000 cubic feet of air to heat all winter long.
