A Corporate Election ...Barbra Streisand Posted on December 6, 2004 Regardless of partisanship, the essence of our voting process must have integrity. Why are we allowing private for-profit corporations, loyal to politicians that give them lucrative contracts worth millions of dollars, manage our votes? How can we trust the outcome of our elections when we have outsourced the managing of our electoral process and the counting of the ballots to private corporations who keep secret from election administrators the program codes for their software and refuse to offer a verifiable auditable paper trail for each vote? We cannot have a...

I am conflicted about the upcoming film "Meet the Fockers." While I really enjoyed "Meet the Parents" and eagerly awaited the sequel, discovering that Barbara Streisand has been cast as Gaylord Focker's mother has sickened me in such a way that I will refuse to see it. As the cultural war has intensified and the battle lines etched deeper, I find myself incapable of getting past my disdain of these America hating, liberal celebrities. I just can't do it anymore. As a result, I won't see a film I was really looking forward to. Laura Ingraham is a good example...

This section contains statements and speeches by Ms. Streisand. We Must Have Patience ...Barbra Streisand Posted on November 8, 2004 In response to the results of the Presidential election last week, I would like to share with you a quote from Thomas Jefferson. Although written in 1798, I feel his words speak perfectly to the strong sentiments of frustration and disappointment 48% of the country feel. "A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that...

With two presidents bearing the name, the Bushes are now the most prominent family in American politics. Peter Schweizer is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution. Rochelle Schweizer is a writer and media consultant. For more than a century the Bushes have been at or near the center of America’s public life—as friends of presidents, captains of industry, capitalists, senators, congressmen, ambassadors, governors, federal judges, and two American presidents. Although the Bushes lack the flamboyance of the Roosevelts or the enormous wealth of the Kennedys, they have surpassed those two great dynasties. There can be little question that the...

Kerry’s Top Secret Election Memo! Does a mysterious cabal of cultural elites pull the strings of the Democratic Party? This shocking memo seems to prove it…and smells real pretty. Maxim, July 2004 To: Senator John Kerry Re: Saving America From Itself Dear John-baby, Darling! Can we talk man to man? If you screw up this election, I will be pissed, so pay attention—you don’t want to see my Botox-ironed face wrinkle like a donkey’s sack. I had a little chai tea colonic after my weekly kabalistic group chant with the usual suspects—Hollywood power brokers, actor/activists, an important minority leader who...

Babs Hypnotized? Is Barbra Streisand getting sleepy? I'm told that she's been having so much trouble sleeping that she's enlisted one of Hollywood's top hypnotists to help her nod off. The hypnotherapist may also be able to cure Babs of her noted stage fright in time for her big June 7 John Kerry fund-raiser in Los Angeles with Neil Diamond and Willie Nelson — reported here first exclusively. Meanwhile, Streisand fans are gearing up for June 5, when the Diva of Divas auctions off 400 lots of personal memorabilia, including most of her movie costumes, to raise money for her...

HOLLYWOOD (Talon News) -- Entertainer Barbara Streisand this week joined those attacking President George W. Bush for his support for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to protect marriage as only being between a man and a woman.

LOS ANGELES, Dec 3 (Reuters) - A Los Angeles judge on Wednesday dismissed a $10 million lawsuit filed by Barbra Streisand against a multimillionaire who posted photos of her Malibu estate on a Web site documenting erosion along the California coast. A longtime environmentalist who is also intensely private, Streisand sued Kenneth Adelman in May accusing him of violating California's anti-paparazzi law and her privacy rights. She demanded that Adelman remove her name and the photo of her estate from his Web site, (http://www.californiacoastline.org). But Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Allan Goodman on Wednesday ruled that the diva's lawsuit chilled...

A JUDGE today threw out a $US10 million lawsuit brought by superstar Barbra Streisand against an amateur photographer who snapped her cliff-top mansion from the air. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Allan Goodman dismissed the notoriously private diva's invasion of privacy suit, ruling that her action infringed on the right to freedom of speech. Software millionaire and photographer Ken Adelman said he was "ecstatic" that the suit filed against him and his wife Gabriella in May had failed. "It was a clean sweep,"he said. Adelman said he and his wife had taken pictures of Streisand's home that overlooks the coast...

Showtime plans to air the controversial movie "The Reagans" without commercials on Nov. 30, rather than in 2004. "We just thought it didn't make sense to prolong this and bring it on next year," said Robert Greenblatt, Showtime's entertainment president. "I'm just tired of people making judgments on this when they haven't seen it. Let them see it." Michael Paranzino, who set up the Web site boycottcbs.com to fight the TV movie, originally scheduled to air on CBS, told the Associated Press, "I think that Showtime realized they have a turkey on their hands, and turkeys don't last much beyond...

On Barbara Streisand: Babs has again opened her mouth and put a pair of million dollar shoes in it. Seems that the hit piece “The Reagans” was deep sixed by CBS after a firestorm of criticism rained down upon the network. Babs has a great voice, don’t get me wrong. But when she spouts off about anything other than music, she leaves herself wide open for shots I feel it my civic duty to take. Memo to Babs: You mentioned many things about the CBS miniseries. You correctly stated it is a drama and not a documentary. Bravo. You failed,...

I am deeply disappointed that CBS, the network that in 1964 gave me complete artistic control in creating television specials, now caved in to right wing Republican pressure to cancel the network broadcast of the movie The Reagans. (And I say MOVIE - because this is NOT a documentary - it's a television drama.) The movie will now be aired on Showtime, where the difference in viewership is in the millions. One can only imagine the kind of pressure that would compel CBS to take such an extraordinary action. This was an organized Republican spin machine at work. Remember the...

(Boy, I hope this works) Dr. Scarpetta posted the list of sponsors for CBS's upcoming "Reagan Rip Job" movie to the PA board this morning.  I've compiled a list of links to e mail the sponsors so we can let them know exactly what we think of them helping to spread slanderous lies about one of the finest Presidents we've ever had.  If the links work like they should, you should go directly to a page to email them.   If anyone can find e mail addresses for the four that I couldn't, please post.   Thank you Dr. Scarpetta!!!...
