Sorry for the short column for this week. This weekend was one of those “I ain’t interested in the internet” weekends. Yeah, surprising that The Crawfish does occasionally have those, too.

It’s always good to see someone get honored for their service to our troops and veterans. It’s even better when it is someone you know, as in AllMilitary.com’s own Ruth Ray.

The situation in Iran is still far from settled. One key to the eventual outcome is the Revolutionary Guards. Will they stand with the Mad Mullahs and I’minajihad, which means possibly a new Tiananmen Square Massacre, or will they refuse to follow those orders? There have been reports of some leaders of the Revolutionary Guards breaking with the clerics and getting arrested as a result. Monday saw the security forces resisting the protesters with vigor and the Revolutionary Guards issuing a strong statement, but the crowds were still there. Will they be there tomorrow and the day after? The next week will probably see the tipping point one way or the other.

Do they really think we’re that stooooopid? The folks at ACORN are changing their name to “Community Organizations International” because of all the fraud and corruption associated with the ACORN name. Hey, loooosers. It is better to change the PEOPLE INVOLVED than to change the name!

The Constitution requires an enumeration of the citizenry every ten years. The upcoming census, however, requires the people to fill out a large number of questions that have nothing to do with an enumeration of the people. Representative Michelle Bachman (R-MN) notes that many of the questions are intimate and personal, including some asking when you leave your house for work, and that the imperial federal government is REQUIRING all adults to answer all of the questions or face fines up to $5000. Rep. Bachman states that she will answer only the number of people, names, ages, and genders in her household. THAT completely fulfills the Constitutional requirement, and gives the government all of the information that they need or have any right to know.

Here’s your UNION TEACHER update for the week. The union teachers in suburban Atlanta have a scandal on their hands, as four schools falsified standardized test answer sheets so that their schools would not receive failing grades from the state government. You see, it is much easier to cheat and continue letting the chirren speak in ebonics than it is to actually TEACH them.

FIFTY FOUR PERCENT of people questioned still say that the economic problems we have are all Bush’s fault. Yes, 54% of the people are blind to what the Democrats did to prepare the economy for this collapse back in the Clinton years and from January 2007 until now. Who pushed the Community Reinvestment Act? Who pushed the fraud at Fannie and Freddie? Who voted for the “stimulus” bill and the TARP bills? At least there’s 39% that didn’t drink the Kool-Aid.

Why in the world do we have a situation in which the President of France of  would be preferable to the President of the United States? President Sarkozy once again shows himself to be more of a man and more of a non-muslim than The Chosen One.

How is that program of releasing folks from Gitmo going? Well, a number of them have been seen on the battlefields again, and now the massacre of Europeans in Yemen last week is being blamed on one of the former guests at Club Gitmo.

The boys at JibJab are at it again. Here’s their first satire of The Chosen One. It is exactly how the American media is portraying Him, a combination of Superman, The Messiah, and The Great Black Hope.

Recently, His Majesty said that “we are already seeing results” from the “stimulus” bill. Well, a senior research scientist at the University of Maryland begs to differ. Hat tip to fellow Marylander and Poll Katz e-mailer “Ginny.”

Ginny strikes again with this little ol’ story she found at Politico.com about how the White House economic team has scored millions for their personal bank accounts from the very firms at the heart of bailout central. Sounds to me like those guys need to pay each and every penny back to the Treasury!

Ginny really was on a roll this week. She also sent me this story which she knew would cause me to blow a gasket. Nine years ago, an illegal alien was hit by a drunk driver. He spent years in a hospital because they had no place to send him, since he couldn’t pay any of the MILLIONS of dollars in bills he had racked up. Eventually, the hospital got a court order to deport him to a medical facility in his home country, and now his legal team is suing the hospital! The Crawfish says that the hospital should have only given him care to prevent him from dying and then shipped him out the next day, charging the Guatamalan government for his bills!

You know it’s bad when His Majesty’s own doctor opposes The One’s healthcare plans. Maybe Obama should listen to his doctor and ditch Obamacare while he stops smoking.

The Crawfish saw this story all over the place this weekend, and just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to bring you another example of how the federal government has absolutely no clue to reality. It is widely known, and scientifically verified, that many types of food have certain benefits to our bodies. Foods high in fiber help us to…well, let’s say produce more “federal government” by keeping us regular. I’m guessing that General Mills Company didn’t pay their annual kickbacks to His Majesty’s Administration, as they are threatening to make Cheerios get classified as a “drug” because they advertise that a diet including Cheerios can help lower cholesterol and the risk of coronary heart disease. The fact that the claims are TRUE means nothing, just that they make the claim. Chicago union thug/Jesse Jackson politics is alive and well in DC.

It isn’t just the Obama-Holder feds who want to invade your privacy. Just take a look at this story out of Bozeman, Montana. For once, I see that the ACLU is on the correct side of the battle. The article says that the city won’t hold anything against applicants who refuse, and if you believe that then you believe Obama is going to abide by his oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.

Are the Prophet Algoracle and his Gorons still pushing their man-made Glo-Bull Warming agenda as if it is based on proven scientific facts? I believe that the people of Arizona might have a slightly different take on temperatures in their region.

How’s this for a headline? “UNIONS HATE THE ENVIRONMENT!” Well, it has a ring to it, especially in light of this story out of Californication, that was found by some strange reason in the Noo Yawk Slimes. Yes, unions out there oppose any solar energy power plants if the companies involved are not all-union, all-the-time, and will use animal rights as the way to fight them. If a company wants to build such a facility WITH union labor, then the union favors it even if it endangers a threatened species. Why would anyone expect something other than hypocrisy from any branch of the Democratic Party?

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.
