While McCain might have a slight edge in the polls, he still does not with the dudes who set football spreads. He has closed the gap however. A few weeks back I checked out my trusty <a href="http://sportsbetting.com/">sportsbetting.com</a> and the money was still reasonably with Obama, at 1-2, with McNuggets at 3-2.</p> <p>But just now I checked again and not surprisingly the gap has closed. Obama has slipped to 2-3 and McNasty has closed to 11-10. So Vegas has spoken and Obama is <em>still</em> the favorite! (Though not really).</p> <p>Also, in no way do I endorse gambling ones fortune on sporting events, but consider putting your 401k on the San Fransisco 49ers this week at (-4) against the Detroit Lions. This is a lock because no NFL team (aside from the Rams, Chiefs, Raiders and Dolphins), playing at home, should be favored by less than 10 points against the Lions.</p> <p><em>photo credit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/whiskeytango/1697496186/">flickr</a></em></p> <p>Post from: <a href="http://www.sirened.com">Sirened</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.sirened.com/2008/09/vegas-still-favors-obamabarely/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>If Only Barack Obama was White</title> <link>http://www.sirened.com/2008/07/if-only-barack-obama-was-white/</link> <comments>http://www.sirened.com/2008/07/if-only-barack-obama-was-white/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:31:05 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[2008 Elections]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Barack Obama]]></category> <category><![CDATA[John McCain]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Presidential Race]]></category> <category><![CDATA[YouTube]]></category> <category><![CDATA[George BuCain]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Polls]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sirened]]></category> <category><![CDATA[US in Shambles]]></category> <category><![CDATA[White Obama]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.sirened.com/if-only-barack-obama-was-white</guid> <description><![CDATA[ Yesterday was just another day in John McCain&#8217;s train wreck journey toward the White House.

I’ll do cold calls, public service announcements, all different things to help out.” <em>Cold calls!</em> Can you imagine sitting on your couch and having the phone ring to find Johansson on the other end? You may want to nuke Iran, but you&#8217;ll probably give Scarlett a couple minutes.</p> <p>Anyways, <a href="http://gawker.com/tag/barack-obama/?i=5019803&amp;t=obama-denies-textual-relations-with-scarlett-johansson">Michelle Obama must be on Barack&#8217;s ass</a> about this because yesterday he came out and denied that Scarlett even has his personal email, saying an email was passed through his personal assistant Reggie Love. Barack said &#8220;she sent one email to Reggie, who forwarded it to me. I write saying, &#8216;thank you Scarlett for doing what you do,&#8217; and suddenly we have this email relationship.&#8221;</p> <p>So either Scarlett Johansson is delusional or Barack Obama is lying, either way Michelle is a drag and Scarlett must be crushed. Come on, even Natalie Portman recently said that Scarlett&#8217;s breasts are so spectacular that even she wanted to touch them. Geez, when are we going to have a bachelor running for president?

And it&#8217;s not just any old latte either, it&#8217;s a French brioche latte, served in a bowl. Why is it served in a bowl? Ask Al Gore, he knows. Perhaps it has something to do with the environment.</p> <p>Al Gore&#8217;s elitist endorsement of Barack Obama last night was <em>huge</em>. If there is one area that Obama needs to solidify, it&#8217;s the latte sipping, Prius driving, gay marriage parade, save the whales foundation, vegan hippie elitists. Al Gore gives Barack Obama this much needed boost.</p> <p>And was there a more fitting place than Detroit, Michigan to unveil this century&#8217;s most prominent elitist? For decades, Detroit has experienced what some may call a &#8220;cultural renaissance.&#8221; Former auto factories where people once toiled have been closed down to become museums, reminders of a harsh working class past.</p> <p>With the auto industry a thing of history, residents of Michigan are left with a lot of free time to enjoy their temperate climate, sitting on patios, enjoying the sun, sipping on lattes. This is the group Obama has so desperately courted and the reason he appeared with Sir. Al Gore in Detroit.</p> <p>So Obama is in great shape now as he has long since locked up white working class voters who are bitter about guns and butter, or something. Also, man hating feminists-this group has a lot to say about Obama, check the Googles.</p> <p><em>photo credit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pancakejess/2134291806/">flickr creative commons</a> </em></p> <p>Post from: <a href="http://www.sirened.com">Sirened</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.sirened.com/2008/06/al-gore-puts-latte-sipping-elitists-into-obama-camp/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Comparing the McCain and Obama Tax Plans</title> <link>http://www.sirened.com/2008/06/comparing-the-mccain-and-obama-tax-plans/</link> <comments>http://www.sirened.com/2008/06/comparing-the-mccain-and-obama-tax-plans/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 16 Jun 2008 11:59:07 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[2008 Elections]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Barack Obama]]></category> <category><![CDATA[John McCain]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Presidential Race]]></category> <category><![CDATA[YouTube]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Lower Class]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Middle Class]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tax Cuts]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Upper Class]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.sirened.com/comparing-the-mccain-and-obama-tax-plans</guid> <description><![CDATA[ This short clip from CNN crunches the numbers.

I really can&#8217;t blame them for their frustration seeing as how many of them put a lot of hard work and/or had a lot of belief in their candidate. And the race was oh so close and controversial.</p> <p>So out of this frustration, a website has formed called <a href="http://www.hcsfjm.com/">Ex-Hillary Clinton Supporters for John McCain.</a> The site boasts that it has 35,000 members and is growing. The site itself isn&#8217;t very informative and the front page includes 2 pictures, one where it shows Obama looking like he is ignoring Hillary Clinton and the other with John McCain smiling at her. In a nutshell, it&#8217;s total bullshit.</p> <p>The site is also moderated to only include comments that bash Barack Obama and praise Hillary Clinton and John McCain. You can also donate to the site to help in the upkeep of moderating such wonderful comments like &#8220;I will not vote for the affirmative action candidate&#8221; and such. Yes, there is a new law that requires that a minority candidate be the presidential nominee of a major party once every 200 years. duh!</p> <p><em>photo credit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcn/1320831681/">flickr creative commons</a> </em></p> <p>Post from: <a href="http://www.sirened.com">Sirened</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.sirened.com/2008/06/clinton-supporters-for-mccain-website/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>45</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
