Sirened

So last night George Bush addressed the nation and tried to act all bi-partisan like, saying both sides are working on the economic apocalypse. Of course, this is after his goons tried to get 700 billion blank check dollars for the corporate overlords to do as they wished. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who would have otherwise been accountable to nobody, is a former CEO for Goldman Sachs.
I guess Bush and company were hoping that Congress wouldn’t read this thing and just say, ok here is your 700 billion dollars Mr. Decider. Then when Congress actually read the proposal and …read more

The masters of the universe are at it again, acting to dismantle environmental regulations while John Q. Public is distracted by scary news.  It’s the old Kansas City Shuffle–you’re looking right while they’re going left.
The House is about to vote on allowing drilling on the coast, and the only thing the environment has on its side at this point is that a lot of republiscum don’t think the bill gives their oil refining masters enough tax cuts.  And it specifies drilling at least 50 miles out, not right on the effin beach.
Fifty miles out is nice–far enough away that you …read more

In case you missed it last night here is President George-John “Insane in the Membrane” BuCain endorsing the real change, “country first” candidate. You know, the one that voted with itself 90% of the time.
Probably the best thing Bush could have done for McCain would have been to come out and endorse Barack Obama.
But notice how John McCain wasn’t at the convention last night when Bush was speaking and how we never see them together these days. Is it possible that they, in fact, really are the same person now!?!

Thanks to Gustav, President Bush will not be at the Republican National Convention personally, but will be speaking tonight live via satellite. And the RNC’s website is really touting the president’s address.
The website says:
The 2008 Republican National Convention today announced the program of events for Tuesday, Sept. 2. The program will feature speeches by U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman and former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson. Their remarks will reflect the convention’s overall theme, “Country First,” and the theme for Tuesday’s events, which is “service.”
Then the site goes on to say:
Among the other speakers announced today are President George W. Bush (via …read more

Hurricane Gustav is ready to make landfall and Sirened has officially declared war on hurricanes and the name Gustav. Gustav is a name of Scandinavian and German origin, meaning “staff of the Goths,” and has been the name of six Swedish kings. Thus, we are indirectly at war with Sweden.
Gustav has already been a thorn in the ass of McCain and the GOP, landing right at the start of their convention. Hmm, is Gustav a sign of some sort? I think it was Pat Robertson who said that Hurricane Katrina was God’s punishment on America for being too nice to …read more

I’m Paul Springer, the other new writer at Sirened. Alex has been here all along; we both came over with the acquisition of Level 9 Media last year. I’ve been the writer at StarkedSF.com, which is being merged into Sirened.
My specialities include abrasive commentary and merciless satire.
Here’s a reprint of some opinions I expressed over Il Douche’s war rhetoric.
(A couple of caveats: I’m not on anyone’s side. I often refer to the current president as Il Douche, a heartfelt nod to the dictator Benito Mussolini, or Il Duce.)
Title: Bush on Iraq, or Satan’s Codpiece Speaks.
Every American …read more

Did any new revelations come from Scott McClellan’s testimony to the House Judiciary Committee? Not really because dough boy Scott McClellan is a squirmy weasel that is a Jedi master in the art of spin.
McClellan’s book “What Happened” is a wonderful tale about what happened, without really telling what happened. Despite the fact that McClellan left his Press Secretary duties some two years ago, the man literally lives and breathes the spin.
McClellan has no clue whether any additional White House officials broke the law in the leaking of CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity. He does know that the Bush administration …read more

Evidently President Numb Nuts has another birthday coming up because despite his presidency, the Earth still managed another revolution around the sun. Also, he’s managed not to stab himself to death because the White House staff puts corks on his forks so he can eat his apple sauce, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels style!
Anyways, Laura Bush sent me and millions of other schmucks who are on the RNC mailing list an email to remind us that George BuCain will be celebrating his 62nd birthday on July 6th. And while it’s still 18 days away it’s never too early to sign his card …read more

Here’s John Cusack’s little ad for Moveon.org that attacks John McCain. Cusack wants to know if you can tell the difference between George BuCain and John McBush.
It’s clear that the star of Drop Dead Fred is an Obama supporter. I say we let the celebrities caucus to decide our next president, it’s about as fair as the current electoral system.
