So last week I received my absentee ballot from the good folks in Seminole county, Florida, where I am registered to vote. Seminole county is one of the most republican counties in Florida, and being a registered democrat living in Amsterdam, I was surprised to receive my ballot so quickly. I was expecting to receive it right around the time of November 5th.
So there were three choices this election, Barack “Hopey” Obama, John “MAVERICK!” McCain and Ralph “I Ruin Elections” Nader. There were actually far more choices for president on the Florida ballot, but Nader is the only one worth …read more

You can add Philadelphia Flyers fans to the growing IN THE TANK list of Barack Obama supporters and/or Caribou Barbie haters. The poor hockey loving VP mom decided she’s go out to Philly on the Flyers opening night to drop the ceremonial first puck.
In yet another lousy error by the McNuggets campaign, they neglected to realize that Palin would not be well received by Philly fans. This marks the thousandth time their campaign has made a retarded blunder, yet again embarrassing itself.

So with Obama moving ahead or gaining traction all over the United States, I was interested to see where the bookies currently stand. And well, with just 26 days left until the election, Obama is now a 1-4 favorite to win the presidency. If you’re not familiar with spreads this means that you have to bet $4 on Obama to win $1 (also your $4 back if he wins of course).
McCain’s odds now stand at 5-2. Meaning you can bet $2 to win $5 (plus your $2 back if he wins). This is a commanding lead for Obama because since …read more

Last night, when referring to Barack Obama on one occasion during their debate, McCain called him “That One.” While I take the comment with a grain of salt it’s interesting the way that comment has run wild. Just today, a new website has been created selling all kinds of “That One” t-shirts. You can buy “That One 08″ shirts with Barry on them, or buy an angry McGramps “That One” shirt as he angrily points at well, “THAT ONE!”

Tonight will be a special night indeed, as Sarah Palin and Joe Biden square off in the only vice presidential debate of the election season.
I suspect it will go something like this:
Moderator: Governor Palin, why is it important to keep troops in Iraq?
Palin: We must fight them there so we don’t fight them here. Terrorists ya know, fight them over there. This is an area of expertise for me because I am an expert in foreign policy being the governor of Alaska which is in between terrorist Canada er Russia I mean. Putin is a terrorist because he flies …read more

Times are tough and as Congress works to bailout America’s crumbling economy, Sirened proposes bi-partisan economic change you can believe in.
1)Consider downsizing your home to something more affordable. Like this fixer upper, one bedroom, no bath shown in this picture (toilet and wash basin located at adjacent McDonald’s not pictured).
2)Consider re-financing your home directly with Bank of Putin. The Russian ruble has strengthened against the dollar and Bank of Putin has an excellent reputation of collecting on their loans. Default is punishable by execution.
3)Get rid of “earmarks” like public school buses. Kids are getting fat and lazy anyways. Make them …read more
