Here are my thoughts on what has transpired, in chronological order from super stale to semi fresh.</p> <p>The John Edwards affair: Didn&#8217;t surprise me at all. How can you trust a guy who says fighting poverty has become his life&#8217;s mission and then goes out and gets a $400 haircut, then runs an ad that poor people helped fund to discuss &#8220;how pretty&#8221; he is. Thank goodness Edwards didn&#8217;t win the democratic nomination. Then again, it would have made for a hell of an interesting convention! Much more interesting than the little dog and pony show we witnessed.</p> <p>Olympic Games in China: Good stuff. Every oppressive regime should get to hold an Olympics, cause why not? And the Chinese proved that putting on the greatest opening ceremonies ever requires personal sacrifice, mainly gross human rights violations that included performers having to train in diapers. You gots to love the 21st century Olympic spirit!</p> <p>Obama&#8217;s pick of Joe Biden. Solid pick but boring. Barack Obama is a very smart man with excellent judgement and I knew he&#8217;d make a good VP choice. In short, an old white guy.</p> <p>The DNC Convention: Jesus Christ what was that? Nancy Pelosi looked like she was presenting at the Oscars or something. And the role call? What a cute touch with Hillary ending it and passing the Clintonian torch to Barack Obama.</p> <p>Obama&#8217;s democratic acceptance speech: Great speech! But how the hell does he realistically plan to cut taxes <em>and </em>pay for all that, while the United States has been placed in a 9 trillion dollar deficit. He perhaps should have went with listen, things are pretty fucked up, I&#8217;ll work over the next 4-8 years to get the ship turned around, then the next guy can stear us back on course.</p> <p>McCain&#8217;s choice of Sarah Palin: LOL! I have to say, I was <em>really</em> hoping for Mitt Romney because I find his bullshit demeanor hysterical- though I knew it would not happen after the democrats made an issue of all the McCain houses. Damnit, you guys jumped the gun! But John McBush checking out Palin&#8217;s ass just after she was introduced as his VP choice was classic stuff. So John McInsane. Apparently McCain thinks that some Americans are stupid enough to believe that Sarah Palin is an acceptable replacement for Hillary Clinton because hey, she&#8217;s a woman too. Good call on the part of McCain&#8217;s aides, too many Americans <em>are</em> just that stupid.</p> <p>Post from: <a href="http://www.sirened.com">Sirened</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.sirened.com/2008/09/thoughts-on-political-events-while-sirened-was-away/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</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.

Happy birthday mister presidential hopeful because you&#8217;ve found that in Scarlett Johansson!</p> <p>In a June 10th article on <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/10980.html">Politico.com</a>, Johansson said &#8220;You’d imagine that someone like the senator who is constantly traveling and constantly ‘on’ — how can he return these personal e-mails?” Yeah sure, you would think that if it was Rosie O&#8217;Donnell or Whoopi Goldberg but it&#8217;s <em>Scarlett Johansson. </em>You make time!</p> <p>In that Politico interview, Johansson also talked about how she&#8217;s helping her crush get elected president “I’ll tell them I have some extra time, and ask where they can use me for two days. 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? Oh yeah, we had Bill Clinton, never mind!</p> <p><em>image: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13790198@N08/2283032149/">flickr</a> </em></p> <p>Post from: <a href="http://www.sirened.com">Sirened</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.sirened.com/2008/06/obama-rejects-poor-scarlett-johansson/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Al Gore Puts Latte Sipping Elitists Into Obama Camp</title> <link>http://www.sirened.com/2008/06/al-gore-puts-latte-sipping-elitists-into-obama-camp/</link> <comments>http://www.sirened.com/2008/06/al-gore-puts-latte-sipping-elitists-into-obama-camp/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 17 Jun 2008 17:53:08 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[2008 Elections]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Barack Obama]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Celebrities]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Global Warming]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Presidential Race]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Al Gore]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Detroit]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Elitists]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Lattes]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.sirened.com/al-gore-puts-latte-sipping-elitists-into-obama-camp</guid> <description><![CDATA[Wow, that sure is a delicious looking latte!

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.
