...leave it to Barbra Streisand to get in on the vengeful-minx glee. In a letter to Democratic representatives, Streisand lambasted George W. Bush for being a "destructive man." Urging the Dems to declare war on Republicans, Streisand lashed out, "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."

He has had to turn down several requests from science museums that just don't get it: Cloaca isn't meant as a didactic take on the human digestive tract. He insists it is a highly pungent comment on the folly of human achievement. Or as New York art critic Adrian Dannatt puts it, "a reductio ad absurdum of Freud...
...Well, Napster's rivals are certainly rubbing their hands with glee, because Napster, for the next few months, doesn't have anything at all to offer. People who want to download free music won't be able to get it there, and those who would be willing to pay for it won't be able to that either, not until June...
