Here we see an image of the transformation from past to future as far as Iraqi foreign policy goes. It’s Defense Secretary to-be Robert Gates with the old guy, Donald Rumsfeld. When Bush made the switch the day after his policies were shoved up his ass in the elections, many believed there would be sweeping changes in Iraq.
Will there be sweeping changes? It doesn’t look like it. First, Bush insists they will not leave until the job is done, whatever that means.
But today, Robert Gates, when asked if we are winning the war in Iraq, said that we are not. Wow, that’s a …read more

Corn, it’s become the staple of the American diet. Like the potato was to Ireland, corn is to us now. Corn is in more things we eat than most people realize. Aside from the high fructose variety in all our carbonated soda, corn syrup can be found in many unlikely places. 
Corn has become so important to our livelihood that it is now competing with fueling our cars. Now that ethanol is increasing as an alternative fuel source, particularly in the midwest, it may start putting a straight on the corn industry and drive the price up. Particularly with global warming.
Some scientists believe that because of global …read more

Here we see a wonderful look back at John Bolton’s views about his old job. Would you hire this guy if he talked this way about your company? Um, we hope not! It never made any sense that Bush would appoint this nutter as US ambassador to the United Nations. Then again, when has Bush ever made any sense?

John Bolton has resigned as US ambassador to the UN after it became clear he would not receive the necessary Senate votes needed to continue. George Bush said “I am deeply disappointed that a handful of United States Senators prevented Ambassador Bolton from receiving the up or down vote he deserved in the Senate.”
Yeah, too bad they didn’t go through a huge process to see Bolton not get the votes and then have to go through the same fiasco again for some other dude.
Bolton’s diplomacy will be missed though. He once said that it wouldn’t matter if 10 of the UN building’s 38 …read more

Today is kickoff day for Starked DC, not to be confused with yesterday’s dissapointing Redskins kickoff. Starked DC will focus on news and events in the Washington area. Want to know what bar to go to for happy hour or to meet some sleazy politician? Starked DC can tell you.
If someone gets an inside tip that Dick Cheney is torturing hamsters in his office…Starked will let you know. So let’s give it up for Sophie Mohin and her new sight!

Last night on the Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert announced that he may run for president in 2008. He would not make it official though, saying he needs time to think it over.
Here we see Stephen Colbert, with George Bush looking on, giving us a preview of what it might look like if he was president. Stephen also appears to be doing his best Adolph Hitler impersonation for President Bush’s enjoyment.  
On last night’s Colbert Report, Stephen had our pick for 2008, PK Winsome on. The two had a lovely chat via satellite concerning some pressing current events. They have a wonderful report …read more

Here we see Senator Barack Obama (D) Illinois, letting loose with no tie on. There is much speculation that Obama will run for president in 2008. Hell, The Oprah has endorsed him, so that’s a few million votes right there.
Obama could make a strong Democratic candidate because he speaks well and is very charming. Much like the potential candidate we have endorsed, PK Winsome. If Obama and Winsome decide to run and win their respective parties nominations, it will make for a very intriguing presidential race in 2008.
So we here at Sirened would like to ask, who would you vote for? PK or …read more

Ok, so PK Winsome has yet to formally announce a run for President in 2008, despite our endorsement of him 2 weeks ago. But here we see him at a function with potential voters.
Everything in this picture shows that PK is thinking to run in 2008. PK is a black Republican, so that means he is assured of getting the black vote. But here, he is appearing in public with 3 average looking white women. This shows that he cares about women and women’s rights. First and foremost-a woman’s right to choose…life. PK also believes that women have a right to vote.
Also, …read more

CNN has reported that the government is keeping tabs of your flying statistics and assessing a point system on the likelihood that you may be a terrorist. Sounds a lot like Minority Report to us!
This is confidential from you, but not them, and data includes US citizens and lasts 40 years. Part of the data they include is what meals you order. For domestic flying that is irrelevant as you are lucky if you get a smile and a soda on your flight.
The food shown here looks like some sort of Mexican airplane dish. So if you order this perhaps …read more
