[GaryMontana]

Thanks for this list.
The next time an album or a movie comes out with name(s) of any of these socialists on it, I will boycott it.

[Tony in Hawaii]

Nancy Sinatra? Yep, she had a hit record when I was in grade school.

I'm disappointed to see Tony Soprano (James Gandalfini) on that list, though.

Why is Marlo Thomas on the list, but not her 'hubby' Donahue?

Don't be silly, he is an unbiased journalist.

The more things CHANGE, the more they stay THE SAME, from exactly two years ago next week:

Standing Oration

By all accounts, Barbra Streisand supplied a farewell concert for the ages September 29. The big, broad strokes necessary to catch the drama of the moment were on elegant display. Streisand picked a nationally-known venue; priced tickets high enough so that even before scalping they cost as much as a small used truck; and packed the audience with a tastefully broad range of heavily-lacquered celebrities — including a former presidential candidate, the director of Texasville, and an obligatory member of the HBO television series of the moment...

For those supporting Gray, how about a parody of the Blacklisting, only call it the Graylisting?

[Paul Atreides]

Ha! On that list of stars on the Artist Committee, note that only five of the fifty-two are black and one is Chinese! And, to think, these are the people churning out movie after movie, telling us how we are all such racists.

[daniel boob]

Still working for the small people, I see.

I say let 'em be - they will implode soon.

[Jimbaugh]

I have to go to this FREEP.

[Nightbird]

Barbara Streisand AND Barry Manilow? I always thought they were the same person.

[vikingchick]

LOL!

[RonDog]

For $500, at least you get to hear La Streisand sing THREE (3) songs...

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (People in the News)

Gephardt's got connections

House Minority Leader Richard A. Gephardt has talked Barbra Streisand into singing for her supper ... and the Democratic Party's Congressional Campaign Committee.

Streisand, 60, is a lifelong Democrat and activist, though she has maintained a low political profile since pal Bill Clinton left office. Streisand, according to the Philly Inquirer, will sing three songs at a $500-a-ticket gala Sept. 29 at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. The Dems hope their little party can raise $4 million for their party.

[Liz]

LOL. Good one. Bawbwa and Barry - one and the same. Sounds like an Ed Wood movie.

[Jorge]

Who would pay $500 to see has-beens like BS Barbra Streisand
and Barry Maniblows. gag
