I only began to sing because i couldnt get a job as an actress, you see. Her leading men. Im still after them. The greatest love of her life. You always ask that to people. Why is that . And the tragedy that changed everything. I think it did scar me. And the politics, Plastic Surgery and the personal side of fame. You see me as this star. I dont see myself like that. Barbra streisand, the way she is, a funny girl. This is piers morgan tonight. People ask me who i would most like to have on my show as a guest one name pops up in my mind.

She is, of course, Barbra Streisan i even got the name right. Did you say bahbra . I said barbra. I got the last name right.
The political system. Its difficult to see a way without a constitutional change. And so theyve done lasting damage to it, and i hope that we will see some change. Do i think thats going to happen . Im not going to bet the ranch on it. [inaudible] im executive director of great teaching llc. In an era where it seems, it would seem that Union Membership would grow very fast, its not. Whats the mentality out there that is holding them back . And how do you intend on battling at . First of all, you dont have to take my word for this. International groups study these things and they think that the labor laws in this country are woeful. You have a significant intimidation, and ill tell you what happens. Not just one comment are between 2530,000 workers who get fired illegally each year for trying to organize. So think about this. Youre in a job, tough economy, there arent many jobs out there.

Just all the portable buildings for classrooms are gone. Reporter here in houston, texas, the tornado destroyed some buildings and tore down power lines. Francis lowe and her husband couldnt get away in time. We tried to leave at first but couldt because the truck was off the ground, and it wouldnt go. Finally, it touched the ground, and we took off.
