Don't know if this was posted. Streisand is delusional. Streisand Blasts Bush in Memo Sent to Top Democrats LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Calling President Bush a "destructive man," singing legend Barbra Streisand on Monday fired off a blistering three-page memo to top Democrats in Washington calling for a "strong, strategic, targeted offense against the Republican revolution." "This is not the time to be weak," Streisand writes in the memo titled "Nice Guys Finish Last" sent last week to several dozen top Democratic legislators and released to media outlets Monday through her publicist. "Unless we win, we'll be consistently on the defensive with our fingers holding the dike against the resurgence of the far right. ... You don't have to be ruthless like the Republicans, just be strong." In her note she blasts Bush's record on environmental issues, reproductive rights and the protection of people with disabilities, children, and U.S. workers. She lambastes the record of Bush's father, former President George Bush, on pardons, and urges Democrats and journalists to investigate Republicans vigorously, charging that they are controlled by big business. Streisand writes: "We have a president who was selected rather than elected. He stole the presidency through family ties, arrogance and intimidation, employing Republican operatives to exercise the tactics of voter fraud by disenfranchising thousands of blacks, elderly Jews and other minorities." Streisand's publicist Dick Guttman said on Monday that she has no aspirations to become a politician and her motivation to send the memo was concern about the issues and the American people. "She said people confuse political passion with political ambition," Guttman said, adding that since releasing the memo to Democrats last week Streisand has been flooded with offers to speak publicly. "She sent it to top Democrats who responded very favorably, to it calling it a very important wake up call," Guttman said.

And usually the right hander turners are looking over their LEFT shoulder to see the oncoming traffic? Exactly. As I learned how to survive suburban walking, I developed a few techniques on how to deal with various risks. What I do when crossing the street in front of a driver looking left for an opening in traffic is tap my hand on the fender before I cross to get their attention. A few have thanked me by waving a finger at me. Crossing the on and off ramps of limited access highways is another real challenge because of the speed. There aren't any crossing lights there. No longer is it enough to teach kids to look both ways before crossing or to use the crosswalk. Karen
