Sirened

At the moment there are all sorts of polls circulating about who will be the next ‘Decider’ of the United States of Bankruptcy America. Polls are coming out daily and after months of an Obama edge, we’ve now seen the momentum shift to the side of John “Big Tuna” McCain, who thinks that if he’s going to cook the food then he should be able to buy the groceries, or something.
Anyways, in uncertain times like these I look to the rock of financial stability, the bookies. While McCain might have a slight edge in the polls, he still does not …read more

To all Sirened readers: I just wanted to let you know that b5media is reorganizing the Travel & Culture channel and as a result, Sirened will be going on hiatus.
When Sirened does return, it will be bigger and better than ever. In the meantime, If you’re in need of a political snark fix, head over to Wonkette.com. It’s my personal favorite; just be careful as it’s seriously addictive to political snark junkies.
But since it’s summer, perhaps it’s good to take a break from politics. When Sirened returns, I’m sure everything will be the same, Obama will still be romanticizing the …read more

I’ve now been living in the Netherlands for nearly 5 months and aside from missing my family, friends and a good hamburger I barely even care about visiting the USA. Though there could be two reasons for this: 1)I haven’t been gone long enough and 2)I am actually visiting Florida in October on my way to South America for 2 weeks.
Anyways, here are 10 reasons why I definitely have no interest in ever living in the USA again.
10)The fact that the United States has become a modern day Nazi Germany, nobody can stop the United States government from doing whatever …read more

Yesterday was just another day in John McCain’s train wreck journey toward the White House. Here we see George-John BuCain telling everyone to stay out of the sun, while standing in the sun.
Considering the unbelievable disaster that is the current state of the United States, how many points do you think Obama would be up right now if he was white? Combine this with the fact that McCain is a bumbling old man that makes no sense and my guess is 25 points. I’d say an all white Obama would be at around 60% and McCain would be at 35%. …read more

Amsterdam residents prefer that you piss in their canals, rather than their buildings.

I normally don’t directly express my opinion on political matters, but I am going to on this issue. While it’s nice that the District of Columbia carries electoral votes and therefore counts in terms of electing the president, it’s rather ridiculous that they don’t have a vote in the United States Congress.
The District of Columbia is represented by Eleanor Holmes Norton (as seen on The Colbert Report) in the House of Representatives, but she’s prohibited from actually voting. Thereby giving the people of D.C. no voice in Congress.
There is a website called DCVote.org that is working to lobby Congress …read more

The recent “re-election” of Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe got me thinking, what sort of qualities are required to be the campaign manager of a dictatorial African election? And what types of decisions need to be made in order to secure victory?
First, qualifications of a campaign manager:
1)Military experience preferred (not so much as to overtake it though).
2)Must show an ability to intimidate.
3)Must not be afraid to destroy dissidents.
Strategies involved:
1)Must arm supporters (this is usually easier for the incumbent dictator, particular if he also heads the military). If the dictator in power does not control the military however, the general who does …read more

Interested in enjoying some Rudolph on a trip to Stockholm? If so you’re in luck because lots of restaurants offer it so you don’t have to look too hard to find it.
But if you’re game, expect to shell out some cash as pretty much everyplace charges about 250 Swedish kroners ($42 US or 26 Euros) for reindeer steak. I had to seriously contemplate this expenditure but given my love of trying different animals, I just had to give it a go.
We decided to give a place called Restaurang C C a try because they boasted their specialty in wild game. …read more

5)Haul stuff using this thing, which is basically a motorized shoe box.
4)Move to Venezuela. Gas is subsidized by the government and costs about 5 cents a gallon.
3)Save empty milk containers. When gas dips below $4 a gallon, fill the trunk with milk containers and fill them up at the gas station. This could literally save you dollars in the long run. Aside from being hazardous, the only other downside is that you will spend gas to haul gas.
2)Prostitute yourself for fuel. Truck stops are a wonderful place for this because you can make money and buy gas at the same …read more

Oil Companies? Oil Speculators? Irresponsible consumers? Irresponsible governments? Nope, according to this new John McCain ad, there is only one person to blame for $4 a gallon gas and that is Barack Obama.
