Singer-songwriter Barbra Streisand said she’s considering a move to Canada if Democrats are unable to retake control of the House in next week’s midterm elections.
“I want to sleep nights, if we take the House I’ll be able to sleep a little bit better,” she told the New York Times.
If Democrats can’t retake the majority — they need to gain 23 seats to do so — she’s weighing a move.
“I’ve been thinking about, do I want to move to Canada? I don’t know. I’m just so saddened by this thing happening to our country. It’s making me fat,” she said.

She is an interesting woman. I wish I could speak to her. I live about 400 feet from the stricken synagogue in Pittsburgh. She might want to talk.
I loved The Tree of Life back in the early 70's and still today.

I hear you!
That World Series was bizarre, I'm sure you know. The Yankees were a juggernaut and we (The Pirates) were basically a group of over-achieving whackos.
I didn't get to go to that game, the seventh game, but I got to go see game two --- The Pirates were murdered 16 to 3. I did see something in that game that day I guarantee few ever have seen.
My brother and I were sitting way out at HUGE old Forbes Field in the second deck of the right field stands. It was 457 at Forbes to straight away center. In our seats, we were sitting about 420 feet from home plate and about 30 feet up.
Some time around the 6th inning Mickey Mantle (BATTING RIGHT HANDED) hit a ball past us about fifty feet to our right at eye level.
So ...... we estimate that that ball, which sailed past us and landed in a Little League ball field way out past Forbes Field well over 100 feet past the outfield wall, landed around 550 to 580 feet from home plate. AND HE HIT THE BALL TO THE OPPOSITE FIELD!!!
The Mick was one mighty strong Oklahoma guy.
I swear that is true.
Anyhow that 16 to 3 loss was one memorable game to me ....... not quite as memorable as Game 7.

WOW, I got SO....so excited. THIS is GREAT news. I do hope the Red Color wins and she has to go to Canada. I hope this is not Fake News.
Lorazepam...barbara....lorazepam....
And the cost of living there is so much less than California - Babsie can live like the Queen of Sheba (all she needs is a tin of blackface).
Hollywood libs are so narcissistic. Who cares if they leave? Who would be sad? Not even other libs.
I'm a bit too young to remember Mantle playing so my home run story concerns Jim Rice, a Red Sox slugger from the 1970s. He had very strong arms as well and his line drives were missiles. He almost decapitated a pitcher with one of them and it was said he'd occasionally break his bat doing a check swing. Even in high school, he was hitting balls well over 400 feet.
I'm pretty sure it was the 1978 season and I was sitting in the bleachers at centerfield about 20 rows up when Rice blasted one my way. As soon as the ball was airborne, I knew it was going to land close to me as I had played in the outfield a lot and developed the skill to know where a ball was going to land. I only had to move about two seats over to put myself right in its path and the ball grazed my fingertips and struck the bench in back of me, bouncing 40 feet into the air and some other guy 10 rows back was able to get it.
Babs will leave us if the Dems don’t take the House? This would devastate American Arts & Letters. Thus I must vote Democrat to avoid such a disaster.
I’ll help her pack!!!! Take Rosie too!!!
Stormy Streisand moving to Canada?
Promises...Promises...Promises...All fake!
For her to get flowers, she’d have to be at ground temperature...
She keep promising to move!
She keep promising to move!
1) Would Canada accept her as an Immigrant? They do have standards.
2) Anyone have the address where I can send her $5 to help with her moving expenses?
We need to really publicize that she will leave if Trump wins. This will actually get both sides to vote for Trump. I still say this is why Trump won the first election. There are so many people that would love to see all of those fake Hollyweird people get out of town.
