I said that the 49ers should have been 10 point favorites in that game and were a “lock”, and what happened? They thumped the Lions 31-13. In sports betting (the best financial advice currently out there), it’s important to take notice of obvious bookie mistakes. This was clearly one of them. Stay tuned to see if the bookies screw up again this week, if they do, Sirened will let you know how to nearly double your fortune…again!

Oh really. You mean the one where rich people got huge tax breaks so they could invest in sub-prime mortgages in order for little bread crumbs to trickle down for American Oliver Twist types? Yeah that one, the one that allowed itself to run wild in a big circle jerk fuck fest that gobbled up everything in its path and left only blood stained remnants on the desert streets of Iraq.

This is the same economy that you want more of, more tax breaks for the ultra wealthy and less regulations on flesh eating succubus corporations. Even former FED chair Alan Greenspan has called McCain’s tax plan irresponsible. Also noting that the growing disparity in American wealth is not sustainable. And that guy is republican and knows just a thing or two about the economy.

So do you really want to have a commission investigate this John McCain? I really hope you have some of your guys look into this and weeks later they come back and simply present to you this picture, no words, just this.

The Taliban Christians are at it again. This time calling for a boycott of McDonald’s because they support “sodomites.” Ok, so maybe Ronald McDonald comes off as a little fruity, but cut him some slack guys, he’s a clown!

If you’re interested in learning more about why McDonalds wants to give you two hot patties and special sauce in a bun, visit BoycottMcDonalds.com

I rarely eat at McDonald’s but this weekend I will be sure to stop in and get me some Big Mac and a large chocolate shake. After all, I live in the Netherlands, everyone here is going to hell anyways.

Ericsson has really gone to hell in allowing the Finnish company to do this in Stockholm. If they weren’t such pushovers they would have this thing blown out of the sky!

9)Will I have access to the company hooker?

8)Will you cover for me if my wife calls?

7)These are high speed shredders right?

6)Your wife is beautiful, she looks an awful lot like my ex.

5)Will you guys set up my offshore account or do I have to take care of that myself?

4)Look, I’m an accountant, playing with numbers is my thing, do the big boys want to make some real money here or are you content with your little scraps? (play this one by ear though)

3)Leadership skills? In college I was president of Sigma Chi and led a successful pantie raid on the Delta Delta Delta house. We even framed the Pikes for it because they had a reputation as the date rape frat. That shows I can lead and assess blame.

2)Where do I see myself in 10 years? Hopefully I’ll be sitting in your seat. I mean sorry, I’m sure your “retirement” party and severance package will be lovely.

1)Team building is definitely important. At my old job a colleague and I had a contest to see who could sleep with the most women in the office.

This is Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary talking about Ryanair’s plans for transcontinental flights. In economy you’ll be able to fly dirt cheap, but they’ll be no frills, so you’ll have to bring your own oral sex. To compensate, business class seats will be very expensive because they will include blow jobs. So screw you Virgin Airlines!

And wow, while American air travel continues to get suckier and suckier by the day, Ryanair plans to literally get you sucked while you fly.

When you put Burger King and world’s most expensive burger in the same sentence you’d probably think massive heart explosion. Not in this case, here is a video of some pompous British chef who discusses all the expensive ingredients that are going into making the world’s richest burger. The real kicker here is that under the Burger King logo of his chef’s outfit reads “Research & Development.”

Burger King “R&D” normally consists of a fine balancing act between grade D beef and the minimal amount of rat feces allotted by the FDA. But with this burger, introduced on the streets of London with a price tag of 95 pounds (about $185 US), you get japanese wagyu beef and white truffles marinated in Kristol champagne. Now that is an elite burger! Rumor has it that Al Gore is having 500 of these burgers flown from London to New York via a high speed concord jet for an environmental fund raiser where he’ll be unveiling an eco-friendly Hummer.

After eating what Burger King has creatively named “The Burger,” you can wash it down with a $100 shot of espresso brewed from beans that are harvested from the droppings of an Indonesian jungle cat.

In 2007, there were 168,900 deaths in Florida. 2,328 of these deaths were caused by pain killers (Vicodine, Oxycontin, etc.), 743 deaths were due to benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, etc.) and alcohol was judged to have been the killer 466 times (it was in the bodies of 4,179 people that died).

The deaths from all illegal drugs (cocaine, heroine, ecstasy, etc.) came in at 989. The real kicker here, numbers of deaths from marijuana: 0. Yup, none, not a single person in the state of Florida died from the use of marijuana in 2007.

And yet marijuana is not only illegal in the United States, but people get arrested and get caught up in the system over a joint. I’m not saying that the USA should legalize marijuana, but at least decriminalize it, this was a big issue for former Senator Mike Gravel who was thrown out of the democratic presidential debates. And of course the rest of the democrats completely ignored the serious issue of a rising prison population due to bullshit.

In the Netherlands, soft drug use is viewed as a health issue, not a criminal issue. Nobody gets arrested for smoking a joint. If a police officer sees someone smoking a joint in a public place where they obviously should not be smoking (ie. not a designated coffee shop or desolate area in the park), that person will get chewed out and told to put it out, they will not go to jail over crap.

Of course, decriminalizing marijuana would eat into the profits of drugs companies, whose drugs kill more people than all street drugs combined.

I fully immersed myself in my Jackass Amsterdam Pictures of the Week segment by partaking in The Netherlands biggest holiday and dressing up like well…a jackass.

Gary Kasparov and the Flying Penis Helicopter inspired me to create a new ‘LOL’ category.

In Obama Leads Panamanian Candidate John McCain in National Polls, I look into the reason why John McCain is struggling with his base: their racism towards Latins.

When people complain about high oil prices, they often forget about the oil companies, who are massively affected because it takes oil to ship oil.

Barack Obama is doing so smashingly that he even won the endorsement of a former KKK member in our beloved Senate.

I invented an Amsterdam cocktail but have yet to try it out of fear that it may make me think that I know how to fly.

From a business perspective, it made total sense for the media to do what they did. After President Bush put weapons of mass destruction and Saddam Hussein in the same sentence, some 80% of Americans supported a toppling of the regime. So the media was simply reporting on what the general public wanted to hear, not doing so could have resulted in a serious drop in ratings and loss of revenue.

In recent days, CNN’s Jessica Yellin has said that former executives helped frame her reports on Iraq to depict the president in a more positive light. Also, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews discussed the way the media was manipulated by the administration to misconstrue information pertaining to Iraq.

It’s high time the media started investigating and reporting on themselves and their accountability for the War in Iraq. Being in the vast minority of those who opposed the Iraq War from the beginning, I was appalled by the main stream media’s horrendous coverage leading up to the invasion.
