The Weekly Claw 6-2-09
Well, the weekend was quite eventful, wasn’t it? We had the Sunday shows all filled with attempts by Democrats to say that the Affirmative Action SCOTUS Nominee’s comments weren’t racist and that she’s really a centrist, while Republicans showed no intestinal fortitude in opposing her. We have a possible announcement on Monday of John Kasich running for Ohio Governor. Unfortunately, we also have an Air France aircraft with 228 people aboard missing over the Atlantic. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those people, their families and friends, and those who are searching for them.
Can y’all see this story getting turned into a made-for-TV movie? It would have to be embellished a bit to make the story long enough, but I could see it on NBC by the fall sweeps week.
Unfortunately, this example of poor decision making and narcissism WILL get a TV reality series.
What do the Glo-Bull Warming fraudsters have to say about this story going into JUNE???
How much of a neophyte is The Chosen One? Well, when you’re four months into your term as President, you shouldn’t be learning of the existence of one of our intelligence agencies from a customer at Five Guys Burgers and Fries on your lunch break!
It is an absolutely horrible situation when a police officer gets shot and killed by another police officer in a case of mistaken identity, but there is one thing that can make it worse…the not-so-reverend-Al “Tawana Brawley” Sharpton protesting because the dead cop happens to be black. Is this the only way Al can raise money for himself? Race-baiting Congresscritter Charlie “Tax Cheat” Rangel even got in on the act at a rally to support the family of the slain officer, saying Barack Obama needed ID and his Secret Service detail to keep from getting shot in Harlem, and a city councilman said that it used to be “driving while black” but that it is now “policinig while black” that will get you shot.
George Tiller, the “doctor” in Kansas who was famous for being the nation’s pre-eminent provider of partial birth abortions, was shot to death in a church on Sunday. Somehow, the Reformation Lutheran Church thought he was enough of a Christian to be a church usher, which goes a long way to show how anti-Christian that church is. The Crawfish is only alive because abortion was still illegal in the mid-60s, so I will not shed a tear for the death of this mass murderer.
A NASA/NOAA study shows that we’re in a very low sunspot activity time, and says low sunspot activity lowers temperatures on Earth. If the Prophet Algoracle sees this report he’ll have kittens.
Well, it is a start. A contractor who received millions in earmarks from the world’s only EX-Marine Jack “ABSCAM” Murtha has been suspended from all contracts by the Navy (guess they did ONE thing right last week). Details are also starting to come out regarding a Justice Department fraud investigation involving Murtha and committee-mate Rep. Pete Visclosky (Jackass Party- Indiana). Will the Affirmative Action Attorney General quash the investigation and drop the charges like he did regarding the New Black Panther Party’s blatant voter intimidation case? Will Queen of the House Red Nanny P-Lousy ever drain the Democratic Party’s swamp of its “culture of corruption?”
The Democrats complained loud and long during the Bush years that Bush had “politicized” the Justice Department, but somehow they seem to have no problem with Obama and the Affirmative Action Attorney General in charge. This story goes deeper into the Black Panthers case. The Black Panthers did NOT put up any opposition to the case, and the judge made a summary judgment against them, until the Administration ordered the case dropped. Ranking minority member of the House Justice Committee, Lamar Smith (R- TX) is demanding an investigation and hearings, which the Democrats will probably quash.
The Administration is politicizing justice in another way. This time, the judge in charge of the Chrysler bankruptcy stated that he wasn’t ready to make any rulings on the asset sales, but when the GM bankruptcy became scheduled for 0800 on Monday, the Administration placed a phone call and somehow, the judge finalized his ruling just after midnight Monday morning.
Would the Obama Administration promote people based solely upon campaign contributions rather than ability? To quote a certain GOP politician…YOU BETCHA!
The Crawfish is sure that absolutely none of his readers will be surprised in the least to find out that a man who has complained to Congresscritters about crazy spending and has said he’d work to see the spendaholics defeated would find himself under investigation by the FBI because of a complaint from a Democrat.
One of the very few things that The Crawfish approves of regarding Islam is how they treat child molesters and murderers.
But unfortunately, the rest of the “religion” of the Followers of the Pedophilic False Prophet is at war with the rest of the world and engage in terrorism whenever and wherever possible. Deport them all immediately.
Is this a sign that the GOP is growing squirrel food? They are coming out against the Democrats’ plans to implement the cap-and-trade energy program that would cripple the US economy and cause the power bills for most Americans to double or more.
Obama’s extremist Secretary of Education has now named a heterophobe activist to a position in the Department of Education. He will be in charge of making schools safer, but will probably take that mandate to mean make schools safe for heterophobes by making tolerance classes mandatory. Just another reason to get rid of the unConstitutional Department of Education.
As a public service, The Swamp brings our readers this special announcement.
Once again, a Democrat is trying to make a federal requirement for part of the private business contracts between employer and employee. What gives the federal government any authority to require companies to pay a certain minimum wage or give certain amounts of paid vacation time?
I don’t think the Talkmaster, Neal Boortz, approves of the way President Obama is taking over major parts of the American economy. Was my first hint that he referred to Obama as “Looter-in-Chief”?
Barack Obama evidently believes that the backlash over Sonia Sotomayor’s obviously racist comments is “nonsense.” Well, that’s not surprising coming from someone who made racism a central part of his campaign and named an Attorney General based solely upon his skin color.
Former Congressman Tom Tancredo does NOT believe that Sotomayor’s racism is nonsense, and he takes her to task for her membership in the racist anti-American group La Raza.
Here’s a video report from CNN that will make you realize that the young generations aren’t completely screwed up by the liberal establishment.
Right now there are tons of Americans out of work, almost all are cutting back on expenses, the government is in deeper debt than any time in our history, and what does the Obama family do? They take a taxpayer-paid trip to Noo Yawk City for dinner and a Broadway show. How much did it cost for transportation for them and their security team, not to mention theater tickets for the whole bunch?
Why do people shake their heads or question anybody who points out that the UN is an organization that is dominated by petty dictators and muslim nations, and is institutionally anti-Jew?
As long as we’re talking about kowtowing to the muzzies, the Democrats are trying to make Americans grovel at the feet of Islam even more, by driving up the cost of drilling for oil within our own borders. The Crawfish understands the need to eventually go to alternate energy sources, but as long as we have cars, trucks, construction equipment, ships, and aircraft that use oil-based fuels, shouldn’t we be buying it from domestic sources instead of enriching terrorists and their supporters?
Now THIS is how it should be done. The National Governors Association and the education administrators of 46 states plus the District of Colombia are getting together to make some common education standards for kindergarten through high school. Since education is a state and local issue, according to the Constitution, having the state governments take care of it is proper. This again highlights the need to eliminate the unConstitutional Department of Education.
Every once in a while, I find a story that I just have to include in my column even though it really has nothing to do with hard news.
Tip of the hat to Townhall commenter “beachmom” for finding this article at Hot Air. The Administration is starting to go to extreme lengths to curb criticism of the “stimulus” bill that they ramrodded through the Congress while threatening a national calamity if it didn’t go through. The Special Council to the President on Ethics and Government Reform actually said, “First, we will expand the restriction on oral communications to cover all persons, not just federally registered lobbyists.” Has this moron ever read the 1st Amendment?
Even in Corruptionois a FIFTY PERCENT INCOME TAX HIKE is too much to get passed, although most of the Democrats in the state legislature did vote in favor of it. No doubt that when the Governor has to make budget cuts, he’ll do so in a manner so as to punish the districts of the folks who voted against the bill. Will he cut services for the leeches upon the arse of society or to illegal aliens? No way. Will he cut any of the union payoffs? Nope. Will he cut any pet project of the Democrat hierarchy? Ohhellno. I’m sure we’ll see cuts in police, fire protection, road and bridge maintenance, hospitals, etc…just to make the people feel the pinch so they will WANT the rich to pay more.
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.
