Barbara Streisand is in the news tonight for shouting the F word at a heckler during her skit with a George Bush impersonator.

However, when she herself was skewered on South Park, she was far less tolerant of the right to express humor through irony.

She condemns someone for speaking out against a tasteless (and long winded) series of jokes about Bush, but remember how she spoke out against a tasteless series of jokes about herself?

But that's Barbara. I can excuse her nonsense, she's an egotistical celebrity. What I want to know is, why did the audience cheer when she told a member of the audience to "shut the f--- up", and later gave some BS line about "tolerance" (wee bit hypocritical) and then said "the role of an artist is to disturb".

That would make the heckler an "artist" by her standards.

I'm not sure, but I think that qualifies as hypocrisy on at least three different levels. And the audience was no better.

Politics aside, do you agree with her or not?

Political advertizing that is aimed at bashing their opponents and not telling what they plan to do? Why don't they be honest and say "we are not quite as bad as they are so vote for us!"

years ago i dated a man and i can honestly say that he is the only man i have ever been in love with. we were in the military and he was sent somewhere else on such a short notice that i didnt get to say bye. after not hearing from him for quiet sometime i was convinced that i was never going to see him again. it was heartbreaking. a few years later i got married to my husband. i love him with all my heart, but im not in love with him.
well after several years we found each other on myspace and it was like we were never apart. he told me that he was sorry for leaving like that (he didnt have a choice) and that he had thought about me a lot. he said that he still had deep feelings for me and after some time asked to see me (not for sex). i said that i thought it wasnt a good idea. this was several months ago and it has been on my mind 24/7. im not the cheating type but im scared that if i dont take this chance that i will never know. what would you do? please no derogatory replies.

I see that the BCS has Texas and USC still numbers 1 and 2(the two teams in the championship last year), but they both lost some very important players. I also see that the AP and coaches rankings are a bit different than the BCS. The AP and coaches polls have USC and Texas ranked lower than 1st and 2nd. How is the championship determined?

do you feel that it is easier for a guy to get a girl than it is for a girl to get a guy? Logic says that the man has to be the one who sells himself and the girl has to be the one to buy into it.

I just asked a question about experiencing miracles. The main response I got from my questions was being blessed about having a baby growing inside of you and actually having kids. I think I have a problem and wondering if anyone shares the same problem as I do. My problem is when I see something that really turns my stomach, my knees go weak and as i call it I feeling spastic (without that sounding mean or calling anyone names). A year ago in November my partners sister gave birth to her first child and I will always remember when she was sitting there one day and she said "oh my baby's foot is stuck under my ribs, oh its a bit uncomfortable" the thought of that happening to me one day makes me shiver as i say i would feel spastic i think because things being inside me is fine but the thought of a babies foot being up here in that position makes me get goose bumps. I even quiver when my partner hugs me and his arm reats on my rib area. I dont think i will cope with a baby inside of me
