Sirened

We’ve all been there, driving down the highway when all of a sudden a truck or SUV is crazily riding our ass. Even if you are part of this annoying group of drivers, you’ve still been there, riding someone’s ass while someone rides yours.
One of the most common vehicles that we get to view far too close in our rear view mirrors is the Ford F-150. Drivers of this truck, along with the Dodge Ram, are particularly keen to make your drive scarier and push you to the brink of road rage.
Lucky for those of us who do not drive these; soon there will be less …read more

Last night Lou Dobbs was a guest on The Colbert Report. Dobbs has been a strong advocate for the middle class on CNN’s Lou Dobbs Tonight. He has also written a book entitled “War On The Middle Class.” Colbert asked him if more troops were necessary to win the war on the middle class.
Sirened examines the plight of the middle class and how it can be defeated. Perhaps George Bush can declare “mission accomplished” on this battle when his presidency is up.

Last night on The Daily Show with John Stewart, Bush’s ‘State of the Union’ speech was broken down in usual Stewart fashion.
Stewart showed a clip of Bush saying “We must balance the federal budget, confront the serious challenge of global climate change, reduce gasoline usage in the US by 20% and make health care affordable for all Americans”.
Of course, this rhetoric is no where in sync with Bush’s policies and Stewart responded with “Interesting, he seems to be contradicting everything he stands for…Wait, I’ve seen this tactic before!…I think it could work!”
He then proceeded to show a clip of Seinfeld …read more

John Kerry was nearly elected president in 2004. Had he won Ohio, which he lost by 120,000 votes, we might already be out of Iraq, maybe.
Rove and company painted a nice picture of an “out of touch” John Kerry because he likes to windsurf. This wasn’t particularly attractive to the Midwest as they have no ocean to windsurf on. Kerry just wasn’t a “regular guy” like George Bush. Many people feel that the man they should elect president is someone they could have a beer with. America decided they could not have a beer with John Kerry.
Kerry was contemplating running again in 2008, but after realizing that he …read more

We recently noticed something ridiculous on a carton of HomeMaker Premium orange juice. The juice advertises ”not from concentrate juice” on the top of the carton. It also says “100% Florida squeezed juice.” So looking at these two statements it leads one to believe that they are buying a premium orange juice that is not from concentrate.
Then on the bottom it says “from concentrate.” Huh? Exsqueeze me? We know juices can be misleading about what they contain  but this is flat out contradicting.
In the ingredients listed it says “100% pure Florida squeezed orange juice from concentrate, made with Florida Valencia orange juice.” Ok, …read more

First off, big congrats to Nancy Pelosi on being the first female Speaker of the House. It was truly a historic moment to see her standing behind The Decider and next to a half dead Dick Cheney. And it was certainly very refreshing to see her sitting there instead of Dennis Hastert.
Nancy Pelosi, as the first female Speaker of the House, has broken down the old boys school of high power American politics. At first, she seemed gitty and delighted at the moment and so she should have been. Later on, as Bush babbled away, she seemed uncomfortable and torn …read more

George Bush made his 7th ‘State of the Union’ address as President. Many were wondering what surprises would be in store from The Decider.
The President warmed us up with domestic issues, much like foreplay, before pounding us with terrorism and Iraq. Afterwards, he cuddled us by giving us examples of real American heroes…Like African NBA player Dikembe Mutumbo who has made millions off playing a game of ball and hoop.
Many issues were addressed but there was one pressing issue on Sirened’s mind that was not…Mars. Remember when Bush talked about Mars exploration in a previous ‘State of the Union?’ What happened with that? …read more

We wonder if Joe Lieberman is anxiously awaiting tonight’s State of the Union speech to see if his good friend George Bush will mention him again. When Bush gave his last major speech just a few weeks ago to announce the grim news that more troops were being dispatched to Iraq, he announced there was bipartisan support in that of Joe Lieberman.
In fact, Joe Lieberman was the only Congressman’s name mentioned in Bush’s speech. In Bush’s world, Democrat Joe Lieberman is bipartisanship and the values of Joe Lieberman are reflective of all Americans. Well, the values that support war and devastation anyway.
Hey, speaking …read more

Back on January 17th, 2001 The Onion wrote this article about Bush’s upcoming presidency. The article is titled ‘Our Long National Nightmare of Peace and Prosperity is Finally Over.’
Among many prophecies in the story is a fake quote by Dennis Hastert saying:
“Under Bush, we can all look forward to military aggression, deregulation of dangerous, greedy industries, and the defunding of vital domestic social-service programs upon which millions depend. Mercifully, we can now say goodbye to the awful nightmare that was Clinton’s America.”
Damn, those guys at The Onion are like Nostradamus!

Tonight President Bush will make the 2nd last State of the Union speech of his Presidential career. It could be his last as things continue to falter in Iraq and more Republicans start jumping ship to save their political careers. Then maybe we’ll see some articles of impeachment.
Tonight the President will be addressing a Congress and nation he has ignored, not to mention the generals in Iraq. Of course, there are some hard line “conservatives” in Congress and backwoods Georgia that still support Bush. 
Bush has been a polarizing figure ever since he was not elected back in 2000. He has been increasingly polarizing ever since. Of course, …read more
