Well, Mrs. Crawfish and I somewhat enjoyed our weekend away from kids and computers, even if the weather in Atlantic City was bad and our health wasn’t much better. I’ve finally gotten caught up on the comments from The Weekend Claw, and have perused the web in search of news items worthy of my attention. This edition might not be as big as normal, but it still packs a punch.

An important piece of Americana may have been found and is going to be auctioned off soon. The Crawfish’s favorite soda has always been Dr Pepper, and I recommend that if you ever get a chance to buy a six-pack of “Dublin Dr Pepper” that you do so. The small bottling plant in Dublin, TX, is the only one that still makes Dr Pepper with the original cane sugar recipe.

Many pundits and commentators continue the call for the GOP to “moderate” in the wake of Arlen S.P.E.C.T.R.E.’s defection back to his home party. Nationally syndicated talk show host Michael Smerconish even wrote this column in the Philadelphia Inquirer over the weekend, saying that S.P.E.C.T.R.E. may yet cause the GOP to “moderate”, which was one of his goals, by leaving and causing the GOP to possibly run “moderate” Tom Ridge for the Senate. The Crawfish still says that the GOP does need to make their tent much bigger, but not by going farther to the left. The GOP needs to include more people who actually believe in the Constitution, as written. The GOP is already a “moderate” party, being mostly centrists with big government liberal tendencies, while the Democratic Party has gone from slightly left of center, where they were under JFK, to far-left.

S.P.E.C.T.R.E. showed signs of serious brain malfunction over the weekend, when he said that Jack Kemp would probably still be alive if the GOP agenda was different.

Wouldn’t it be beautiful poetic justice if Uber-Scheisster trial lawyer scumbag John Edwards, aka Silky Pony, would get convicted of misusing campaign funds to pay off his mistress while making a big show of standing by his wife during her illnesses?

Speaking of politicians that are in trouble with the law, Queen of the House Red Nanny P-Lousy is confronting the Justice Department in an effort to get the FBI to back off of its investigations into Democrats in Congress, including Charlie Rangel, Jesse-Be-The-Jackson-Junior, the world’s only EX-Marine John “ABSCAM” Murtha, and Jane Harmon. Maybe this is what she was referring to when she said “now we can get things done without explaining process” last week. This again shows a big difference between conservatives and liberals. When a conservative breaks the law, he/she is shunned by the party and has to face justice. When a liberal breaks the law, other liberals shield him/her from “The Man” and screech about how evil (and usually racist/sexist/homophobic) it is to uphold the law.

The State of Montana has decided to see if the Constitution of the United States is still the law of the land in the United States, specifically whether the 10th Amendment is still in force. Now if a few more states had those cajones…

In the grand “100 Days” celebrations, The Chosen One said “we’ve begun the work of remaking America.” Sorry, Mr. President, but it took a lot of really smart and brave men to make America over 200 years ago, and your job is not to “remake” it. Your job is to uphold the Constitution that they wrote, not to rewrite it in your own marxist-socialist image.

More of the 100 Days hype included a statement by The Chosen One that his “stimulus” bill has already “saved or created 150,000 jobs.” Unfortunately for The Golden Child, there are folks out there who can and will check up on his claims, and will usually prove them to be nothing more than fantasies based on perception instead of reality (kinda like his whole campaign).

I guess Jesse-Be-The-Jackson hasn’t been in the headlines lately. Whenever that happens, he’s usually guaranteed to say something stoooopid. This time, he’s saying that the bunch of racists known as the NAACP must save the auto industry. Now how in the world are they going to do that?

This week’s groaner of a political joke comes from Poll Katz e-mailer Bill, who wrote: It was said that a black man would take office as President when pigs fly. Well, 100 days into President Obama’s term swine flu!

On the subject of comedians, it appears that almost none of the late night TV or cable comedians want to make any Obama jokes, as opposed to their constant barrage of W jokes during his Presidency. Bill Maher, who regularly attacks all religions other than Islam, even said “Obama is the new God.” Nope, there’s no anti-conservative and anti-Christian bias displayed in show biz.

It now appears that The Chosen One has changed US bankruptcy laws with the wave of His hand. Why? So his corrupt buddies in the UAW can get their UNSECURED money before actual investors get their SECURED money. You see, investors are evil rich folks who probably vote for Republicans. It even appears that the Administration has THREATENED investment firms that oppose his union-first bankruptcy plans.

The elitist snobbery of the left, and in particular the Obama family, was on display when the First Lady went to work at a homeless shelter for a day, while wearing a J. Crew cardigan and SNEAKERS that cost $540.00! Who is the world pays $540.00 for a pair of sneakers? Orwell was right when he wrote “Animal Farm.” Some pigs are more equal than others, even as they implement socialism

“I know many of you here today are single payer advocates and so am I, and those of us who are pushing for a public health insurance don’t disagree with this goal. This is not a principled fight. This is a fight about strategy for getting there and I believe we will,” Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) told a group of government-run health care supporters on April 18. Bragging that they will destroy the private health insurance industry again demonstrates the complete arrogance and anti-Constitutionality of the Democratic Party mainstream.

The anti-fairness venom of the teachers unions was on display last week when a teacher berated a high school student for 10 minutes in front of his class for having the audacity to go to www.foxnews.com to get his news. Since Fox News actually gives the news in a fair and balanced way (I’m talking the news, not their commentary people like O’Reilly, Hannity, and Beck) instead of with a heavy left-wing slant, academia can’t stand them.

Noo Yawk Guvna Paterson had to spend $300,000.00 in taxpayer dollars to settle a lawsuit because of his own racist actions. Isn’t that another reason for the people of Noo Yawk to fire him soon?

Why does the liberal media stand in respect when The Chosen One enters the room, when they didn’t for W? Media bias, anyone?

One of the possible picks for SCOTUS is Judge Sonia Sotomayor, but she seems to believe that judges are supposed to make policy instead of making rulings based on what the Constitution says.  Typical liberal activist judge.  She probably hasn’t read a word of the Constitution in the past two decades.

If y’all come across any weird/stoooopid/strange news stories that might be fodder for The Weekly Claw or The Weekend Claw, e-mail them to me at at1aw_usn@yahoo.com and I’ll consider ‘em. Yes, I will give you newshounds credit.
