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...
Haven't seen anything more laughable in a while.
Global warming is the PC term for "summer". Afterall, we do have season challenged folks in some of the Southern states- we do need to show some sensitivity...LOL!!!
I think we need to heed this warning considering the expertise that Barbara has on this subject LOL
Naw, let Babs babble on. She makes a fine poster child for the Democratic party. Forty years ago she could sing. Forty years ago the Democrats had the presidency and Congress. Now every time she speaks, she reminds people that both she and her party are passé.
Exunctly. I'm sure all Communist type see themselves in the upper echelons of the party system - the new elite.
No one says to themselves, "Gee, I hope to one day be a poor slob in a brutal, communist regime".
Put your legs together babs....we don't need you helping with global warming....
Oh and shut your mouth to....that will help alot!
Sell your mansions and you automobiles, Barb, and move into a tent. Then you won't be producing so much carbon dioxide.
"We are in a global warming emergency state, and that these storms are going to become more frequent, more intense," Streisand urgently declares.
Now she's a friggin' meteorologist. PUT A SOCK IN IT, BABS DEAR.
The primary difference between then and now is that there are a whole lot more people living on the Gulf coast now than there were then.
In folks such as BS's case, I'd substitute "poor" for even 'middle class' and "communist" for 'socialist'.
I kid you not ... that rag has on its cover this week, "Bush's Booze Crisis." Check it out here. It's too funny; I think someone at The Onion is writing for the Enquirer.
Global warming wouldn't be so bad without her firebreathing nostrils.
Barbara Streisand's grand estate in Malibu
******
December 4, 2003
A judge today threw out a $US10 million ($A13.6 million) lawsuit brought by superstar Barbra Streisand against an amateur photographer who snapped her cliff-top mansion from the air.
Adelman said he and his wife had taken pictures of Streisand's home that overlooks the coast at Malibu, near Los Angeles, from a helicopter while cataloguing the erosion of California's coastline.
The couple said the picture of the home was just one among 12,000 images of the coast that they posted on their website as part of the survey and had asked the judge in July to throw out the case.
Streisand had sued claiming the posting of the picture on the Internet put her privacy and security at risk and her attorney branded Adelman a "peeping tom".
The singer, actress and producer claimed the picture revealed details of the house that could not be seen from a public vantage point and said she had gone to great lengths to protect her home from prying eyes.
On her website, she admitted she was "thin-skinned," but said: "We live in a country where all people are supposed to have equal rights ... we have to be vigilant to protect those rights."
Amazing how someone who couldn't finish High School has the solution to a global problem!
The concern (or hysteria!) about global warming is just human arrogance, make that liberal arrogance.
The earth is a by-product of a recycled star, has been in a state of constant upheaval since birth and will keep recycling itself in perpetuity. Of course, Streisand, who is a star in her own right, thinks she has infinite , super-human, intelligence.
Thanks! I needed that.ha.
LOL!
Another VERY good point! ;-)
