Babbs and Babble

An entertainment article on Yahoo tells a sad tale of Barbara Streisand hitting the concert circuit once again. As I read the page, I realized that this poor lady is almost being forced to go out and perform her musical repertoire to a bunch of people that are paying several hundred dollars per show. The money is needed to fight the battle against the rising tide of prejudice against the policy void politicians of the Democrat party (pronounced the Democratic Party by those who think that we live in a democracy.) Since they have no concrete solutions (other than raising taxes) to any of the difficult current issues that affect our lives, poor Babbs has been forced to go out and sing to help re-elect those she supports. I feel sorry because the liberals have been forced to fall back on their Hollywood connections to bolster support instead of providing their own solutions.

Now adding insult to injury, Babbs is putting on mini-skits during her show. They involve a George Bush look-a-like coming out and making absurd remarks. Now we all know that our President has the ability to mispronounce words and has, on more than one occasion, provided a confused statement. I know that no one else has ever misspoken or made a silly remark, so just our President should be ridiculed. Of course, Babbs is using a teleprompter when she sings to ensure that she gets the words correct. That eliminates her making any remark other than what is written down.

I do not understand the American fascination with actors and Hollywood. You have people that memorize other people’s words, get in front of a camera and recite those words while being filmed and attempt to express the correct emotion while performing. Actors are nothing more than really good mimics. Now most of them are both good looking and fit or they can make people laugh. So you have mimics that have no redeeming quality other than being beautiful or funny, giving opinions about subject they know little about. Wow, makes me want to run out and buy tickets to see Babbs. Of course the two men they interviewed for the article were both excited about seeing her and expressed their delight at the privilege of this once in a life time event. That would be two hours of my life that I know I would never get back and regret the time and gas it took to get there. There is always Nick At Nite and the possibility to see Green Acres in re-runs. Love that Arnold Ziffle.
