[history]
Call it an irony of the Internet age. Barbra Streisand went to court to keep a photo of her house from the Web. Instead, a star is born.
In the month since Streisand filed a $10 million lawsuit against Silicon Valley millionaire and environmentalist Ken Adelman, demanding he remove an aerial photo of her oceanfront Malibu estate from his Web site, more than 420,000 people have visited the site.

No wonder she's clueless about what ordinary Americans like or think

IIRC, Rush was reading a memo from her website where she suggested that all pee ons dry their clothes on clothes lines, etc...Meanwhile, she lives in a 10,000 square ft. house which must take a ton of energy to heat and cool all that unused space. Typical limo lib.

I predicted this very thing when the story was first posted. Nothing sells like controversy. She successfully escalated an obscure site visited only by a few academics into a pop culture phenomenon.
I guess you could say she's cutting off her ample nose to spite her face.

It's kind of like a cross between "Gone with the Wind" and "The Guns of Navarone"

Yes, I believe that was in one of her many unsolicited contributions to freelance policymaking for the Democrat Party.

The site has won praise from the Sierra Club as a way to document violations of building laws, along with erosion and other changes. The U.S. Geological Survey and other agencies have used it. I'm sure Babs did everything totally above-board, that no violations can be found in her case, and that privacy is truly the only factor in play here....

Thanx for the pic. Looked it over carefully just to make her skin crawl. A blight on an otherwise beautiful coastline. The house, and Barbra.

Wonder how many SUVs have to sit in a driveway somewhere so Babs has the fuel to heat that pool?

Wonder how many SUVs have to sit in a driveway somewhere so Babs has the fuel to heat that pool? You mean, how many SUVs have to die in order for Babs to heat her pool...
