Welcome to the New Year.  2009 promises to be a WONDERFUL YEAR (well….for us bloggers at least.  We ain’t gonna run short of material at all!).  Fasten your safety belts.  Buckle your chin strap.  Say a couple of Hail Marys.  The fast and bumpy ride is about to begin. 

The Gaia worshippers have gotten waaaaay outta hand, again. The City of Seattle refuses to use salt and sand mixtures to clear their roads of ice. Their streets are now coated with packed ice, and are impassable for emergency vehicles. The Greeniemorons are doing this because salt and sand might be environmentally damaging to Puget Sound which, as we all know, is a body of SALTWATER! Salt is damaging to saltwater, and so is sand, in spite of the fact that most beaches contain….wait for it….SAND!

Pakistan’s refusal to really help in the war against radical Islam is biting them in the tail section. Not only did radical militants from Pakistan stage the November attack on Mumbai, India, which is causing severe tensions between the nations, but now the Taliban is running wild in the areas that the Pakis refuse to actively govern. Their stoooopidity in dealing with the radicals now has them on the precipice of war with India and an invasion of the tribal areas by the western powers. Placate the “Religion of Peace” and find yourself at war. The Times of India even brings us a story of the Taliban ordering locals to give up their daughters for marriage to Taliban terrorists of face “dire consequences.” What do you expect from a “religion” that was made up by a known pedophile? Ooops. I’m sure this paragraph is not going to be looked at kindly by CAIR…again.

Wacked out liberal, and last year’s Green Party candidate for President, Cynthia McKinney is supporting the terrorist group Hamas in their fight against the legitimate nation of Israel. This is hardly surprising, since she has a history of getting campaign donations, in violation of US laws, from anti-Israel arabs. Hopefully her passport has been revoked.

Are the Republicans actually going to have the intestinal fortitude to follow through with this? If they listen to the people who actually vote for them, yes.  If they listen to the lobbyists and the big-government RINOs, like W, then no.

All I can say is why wasn’t I there with my straw???

Filthadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter is under fire for part of his plan to trim the city budget, which is hopelessly in deficit-mode. The plan includes closing down 11 public libraries. Considering the sad state of Philly’s public schools, The Crawfish sees no problem with shutting the libraries down, since most of the folks can’t read English anyway!

In the midst of their campaign of missile attacks, Hamas has passed a new set of Sharia Laws. It endorses nailing enemies of Islam to crosses as the Jerusalem Post reports. How nice of the “Religion of Peace.” Dang, here I go on CAIR’s watch list again.

Here they go again. The atheists and other anti-God-in-public morons are filing suit to prevent the use of “so help me God” in the oath of office and the invocation prayer at the inauguration. Don’t these people understand the simple language of the 1st Amendment? Publicly acknowledging God is part of the “free exercise thereof” part, not the “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” part, as Congress is not establishing any STATE RELIGION!

The Chosen One has made a very good move! I told all y’all that I would praise him when he did something right. When slimeball soon-to-be-former Governor Blago named a replacement for the Obama Senate seat, Obama sided with Harry Reid and Senate Democrats in saying that any appointment by Blago would be unacceptable. The named replacement was former state AG Roland Burris, a black man. The Concerned Black Clergy folks in Corruptionnois (reported in a previous column as demanding that the seat stay black) are gonna have kittens. The Urban League and Congressman Bobby Rush are playing the race card, with Rush urging the Senate not to “hang and lynch” Burris (“lynch” being a word that is only used by liberals as a codeword for racist actions). The Corruptionnois Secretary of State has, so far, refused to certify the appointment, and Senate Democrats will give the Rules Committee 90 days to consider if the appointment is valid, if the Corruptionnois Supremes force the appointment through. By that time, Blago’s impeachment might have been finalized.

All of those folks who demanded the bailout of the auto industry are in for a shock when they see what powers the ‘Car Czar’ will have under this legislation. Imagine a GOVERNMENT position that has the power to dictate to a private business what kinds of products it will produce and what price it will sell those products for. I still can’t find that power for the federal government in my copies of the Constitution. Meanwhile, it appears that GOLF is the central business of the UAW when they’re not trying to drive the Big 3 out of business.

Blogger Gunny G has been linked a few times in my columns. Well, he’s gonna be linked a few more times. His research and editorial comments give us this un-PC column on behind the scenes Obama people and this also un-PC column on even MORE of Obama’s connections. You won’t get this kind of information on the front page of your local paper, or even on the mainstream TV news. Suffice it to say that lots of people associated with Dear Leader are opposed to everything America has traditionally stood for, including that pesky Constitution.

I’ve covered the split occurring within the Episcopal Church in the USA before, and have expressed my support for traditional Anglican theology, bordering on Catholic theology. The current Archbishop of Canterbury does not have my support in any way. He’s a loony lefty, and has expressed sympathies for Islam in the UK. Well, it gets worse. The Church of England is joining with The Prophet Algoracle and the Gorons by investing over 150 million British Pounds in The Prophet’s investment firm. A major church investing in a complete fraud, amazing.

Meanwhile, the Environment Minister in Ireland says that the greenie movement is a complete fraud and the money could be better spent elsewhere!

There is a black preacher out in Harlem who is a counter to Rev. Wrong and “Father” Pflieger, the spiritual mentors of Dear Leader. This Youtube link of Dr. James Manning shows a charismatic black religious leader who abhors Affirmative Action and the other entitlement programs that have wrecked Black America, and he calls for black men to show self-reliance and self-respect. His church’s website appears to be the complete opposite of Trinity United Church of Christ (the “church” of Rev. Wrong, Dear Leader, and Black Liberation Theology….until the media started paying attention to them) and what their website looked like a year ago. These links come from an e-mail buddy of mine, and former SEAL, Bill.

The whining from the Big 3 in Detroit has found unsympathetic ears in the form of the owner of a machinery company. Just so y’all know it is a true letter, I haven’t linked the letter itself, but rather a link to snopes.com’s story which includes the whole thing. Good piece of writing by that gentleman. I don’t think he voted for the Democrats.

Five DEMOCRAT Governors are starting to plead to Dear Leader and Congress for bailout money to cover the fact that their states have been run horribly over the years. Notice that even the most liberal Republican Governor in the nation, Ahnald the Governator, knows that the way to balance a state budget involves cutting wasteful spending. For Democrats, the answer is ALWAYS raising taxes (and doubling highway tolls, as Governor Corzine of Noooo Joisey is doing this year) combined with gummint handouts.

The raising of taxes isn’t just an issue for those five Governors, either. A federal commission set up by liberals in Congress is calling for a 50% increase in gasoline taxes to help pay for more gummint pork spending. The government already makes over 24 cents per gallon, while state and local taxes are also added in, and yet they castigate the oil companies for making “extreme profits” when those companies, who do all the work, only make about EIGHT CENTS PER GALLON! Who is making the “extreme profits” and needs a windfall tax?

Y’all ain’t gonna believe this. The Associated Press and Yahoo! News are actually reporting that there are lots of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS living in gummint-paid-for public housing. The Crawfish is shocked at the allegation. Okay, maybe not, since those housing projects are filled with druggies, drug dealers, thugs, crackwhores, prostitutes, criminals of all types, and the rest of the leeches upon society. I still can’t find anything in the Constitution that authorizes one penny of taxpayer money for those projects.

In related news, if you give a bunch of welfare lowlifes free housing in better communities than they came from, they will probably turn the better communities into clones of the ones that the just left complete with drugs, prostitution, and no respect for people and property. If the better communities’ police forces crack down on the leeches, they will get sued for racism. The Crawfish’s solution? End all unConstitutional entitlement programs NOW! Tell the leeches to support themselves or die off.

This bit of news comes from the “I saw this coming a mile away” files. All of the film critics, liberal film critics (but I repeat myself), and homosexual film critics (again repeating myself) are saying that the best picture of the year, best actor, and best supporting actor awards need to go to a film that is “an American Classic” (Rolling Stone Mag) and “A rousing experience!”(Newsweek, whose critic must have been aroused by the subject matter). I knew when I saw a movie being made about the iconic martyr of the extreme leftist heterophobic agenda, Harvey Milk, that it would be hailed as a movie that should be MANDATORY for all school kids to see, and as the most wonderful movie since “Citizen Kane.” It is all part of the liberal agenda to make homosexuality a good and normal thing, since it is completely against all religious texts and all morality. Of course, most of the films that the “critics” say are wonderful, the American people rightfully say SUCK! When has Sean Penn done well portraying anything but a stoner (“Fast Times at Ridgemont High” and “The Falcon and The Snowman”)?

By the way, The Crawfish gives a hearty THUMBS UP to “Yes Man,” starring Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel.  It is the kind of flick that us normal (well, as close to “normal” as The Crawfish gets) movie fans can enjoy.

If you don’t believe that making homosexuality something to be celebrated and praised is part of the liberal agenda, just check out what Obama’s Secretary of Education nominee tried to do in Chicago.

Speaking of the radical homoagenda, there’s a proposal before the state bar of Arizona to make lawyers swear to not oppose the homoagenda if it is against their values.

I hope Israel takes the advise of Rabbi Dr. Michael Ben-Ari in regards to the Gaza battles. Of course, 55% of American Democrats say Israel should have tried DIPLOMACY in response to the rockets from Hamas. Friggin’ morons.

Meanwhile, another member of “Jews Who Hate Israel and Love People Who Murder Jews” has raised her voice to call Israel a “Nazi-state” but who really cares what Rosanne Barr says anyway?

While the battles between Israel and the people who refuse to recognize Israel and have pledged to destroy her wages on (how can you have a cease-fire or treaty with a group that refuses to recognize you and your right to exist?), the word from the Obama camp is, “There is one president at a time and we intend to respect that.” Of course, while this sounds good and proper, it really means that Obama has one last chance in his career to vote “Present.”

Don’t y’all remember when liberals supported separation of church and state? Not when the churches are all praising The Messiah, The Golden Child, The Chosen One, Dear Leader!

At least there are five states out there who support the rights of workers against unionization. Now if only the rest of the red states would follow their lead…

Here’s another complete shocker for y’all. The Clintons sold political favors and YOUR TAX DOLLARS to one of her constituents. I know…y’all are floored by the news. The good news for Chillary is that she’s not under a grand jury investigation for this action, unlike another of Obama’s Cabinet picks, Commerce Secretary nominee (until he withdrew this week) Bill Richardson, who did the same thing in New Mexico.

Hat tip to blogger SGT. Relic for this link. Are you an embarrassment to Obama? I scored a whopping 13, and am therefore a complete embarrassment to Dear Leader. I doubt any of my readers will score much better.

When it is too cold for a ski race in Alaska, you know that Glo-Bull Warming is a bunch of Shi’ite.  Rats.  There goes the CAIR watch list again.

I can’t believe that this even went to court in Californication. What is so tough about understanding the word ILLEGAL???

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

I really didn’t expect to have a very large column for the Christmas to New Year’s week, especially since I didn’t spend much time online. Obviously, I was incorrect in my expectations.

Okay, who is preparing to write Bill a frickin’ huuuuge check? Hillary just wrote off $13.2 MILLION that she “loaned” her campaign plus $77,900 in interest on that “loan.” People don’t just “write off” that kind of money, especially when they have a history of money-grubbing, unless they’re expecting something in return.

On the subject of financial information, we have another story of a a KENNEDY hiding information that could be somewhat embarrassing. The Kennedy family hiding sleeze? I’d be shocked if a member of that clan, whose fortunes were made rum-running during Prohibition, was to have a less than stellar record. Okay, maybe not.

As reported previously, the State of Californication is in deep kimchee with their finances, so the Governator has ordered all state employees to take two days per month off without pay. It is getting worse, as reports now say that the state could be BROKE in two month’s time. Of course, that means nothing to the UNIONS. They are suing the Governator over the order. Just like with the Big 3, the unions don’t care if the entity that actually employs the workers goes under, as long as the UNION doesn’t show any weakness. Say it with me now…”morons!”

Bawney Fwank says that Obama ”overestimates” his ability to unify people. The rest of us believe that Bawney Fwank overestimates how much the American people care what a corrupt gay guy from Taxachussetts thinks.

Hooray for The Pope! Pope Benedict came out with a statement that affirms what the Word of God says about homosexuality. Immediately, heterophobic groups labeled his comments “homophobic”, “irresponsible”, “unacceptable”, and “gay-bashing.” Well, if you believe that the Bible is unacceptable and irresponsible, then you need to quit calling yourself a Christian.

First sign of the Apocalypse in the coming year…video game injuries. I saw this story and could only shake my head in amazement.

As if I really expected anything different from this upcoming Administration, The Chosen One’s Cabinet picks are a very “diverse” lot but the question remains as to why they were picked that way. Was it purely for political correctness, or did he pick the best people for the jobs? Of course, some race mongers will never be satisfied. The Hill reports that members of the Black Congressional Caucus, by definition a racist group, are unhappy that blacks will only fill 5 of the 15 Cabinet positions. Why should a group that comprises about 15% of the population be angry with controlling the White House (well, 1/8 of it, since HE is 3/8 arab and ½ white) and 33% of the Cabinet? Once again, Dr. King’s words are only taken to heart by conservatives.

And now for the shock of the year! The internal investigation report by Obama’s people say that none of his staff did anything wrong and neither did he. Of course, the media is lapping it up as a conclusive unbiased report.

I’ll just post this link without comment. It is too bizarre for my words.

In response to this story all I can say is, “I friggin’ hope so!”

The Media Research Center has published their list of the quotes of the year and Chrissy “Puffball” Matthews gets the top award. The rest are worthy contenders.

Ya gotta love the Followers of the False Prophet. Here’s yet another example of why that part of the world is considered uncivilized by all who have brains.

This story of Glo-Bull Warming alarmists is definitely NOT in the holiday spirit, unless you are one of the brain-dead worshippers of Gaia. Those “scientists” can kiss my tail section.

How much is The Prophet Algoracle and Church of Gorons making off of this scam in Than Franthithco? He did pick the perfect city of left wing idiots to make a mint.

“Vote early, vote often” was a slogan back in the day in Chicago, but it apparently is legally accepted in Minnesota if you live in a Democrat-majority precinct.

The regular readers of The Weekly Claw know how I stand on the impending surrender of Europe to Islam. Well, the chairman of a political party in The Netherlands gives us more background and details on how Europe is almost lost, and how the USA is the last bulwark. By publishing that link, I’ve probably made CAIR’s watch list….again.

Ah, the City of Brotherly Hate strikes again. Some people are just pure morons and need to be removed from the gene pool. Where’s a lifeguard?

Here comes a story that gives The Crawfish some hope for our nation in 2010.

The UAW really does need a big dose of reality. They’re claiming so much heartache and anguish, but they own a country club resort worth $33 MILLION. That’s the kind of stuff, along with donations to left wing politicians, that union dues go to.

As a CPR Instructor since 1992, The Crawfish is well-versed in a law that is in effect in all 50 states, as well as Canada and most of western Europe. It is called the Good Samaritan Law. I seem to have just misspoke, since California’s Supreme Court doesn’t believe that the law means what it says and is null and void. The actual wording of the law is, “In order to encourage people to participate in emergency medical services training programs and to render emergency medical services to others, no person who in good faith renders emergency care at the scene of an emergency shall be liable for any act or omission.” The State Supremes’ ruling states ”We hold that the Legislature intended for section 1799.102 to immunize from liability for civil damages any person who renders emergency medical care. Torti does not contend that she rendered emergency medical care and she may not, therefore, claim the immunity in section 1799.102.” Note that nowhere in the law does it say “medical care, “ but rather simply “emergency care.” Here’s the full reference of a law that CLEARLY protects the defendant in this case. Why is it so hard for lawyers and judges, especially in liberal states, to understand and stick to the actual wording of laws? They are trying to read INTENT into what a legislature did, when the legislature was very clear in their intent, and put it in writing, just like the Founding Fathers did with the Constitution and the Federalist Papers.

Every time I see news from the Vatican, I seem to like Pope Benedict even more, and I’m not even Catholic. The first tech-savvy Pope (he’s known to use an iPod and to text message people from his cell phone) and the Catholic Church have officially endorsed an app for iPods that contains many Catholic prayers, as well as the Breviary, a Daily Prayer issued by the Church. Future upgrades may include additional prayers and audio portions such as Gregorian Chant.

Defenders of the 2nd Amendment take note of this story and how the liberals are trying to destroy your rights! Note that making your own ammunition would be illegal if this passes! This MUST NOT PASS!

Hamas has been launching rockets and mortar rounds into Israel for weeks and they seem to be astonished that Israel would have the nerve to strike back. Prepare for all of the Followers of the False Prophet to condemn Israel and call for international action against Israel in 5-4-3-2-1. The so-called “Palestinians,” no matter how many times they attack Israel, are always “victims,” but their militants purposely put their missiles in civilian areas so that any casualties can be shown to the world as unjust Israeli actions. Nevermind that the missiles they launch into Israel are aimed at civilians. Israel needs to send every single muslim in Gaza, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights back to arab lands. Those lands are rightfully Israeli, having been won during wars of aggression launched by the arabs against Israel in attempts to exterminate the Jewish population of that nation. Oops. That probably got me on CAIR’s watch list even if the above article didn’t.

Am I the only one who finds it fitting that a nut company sponsors a bowl game in the Land of Fruits, Nuts, and Flakes (aka Californication), specifically in Than Franthithco?

I really am surprised that this story made it into the media at all. Then again, it hasn’t been allowed in the mainstream media in the US, so The Gorons can still make their money on the carbon credit scams.

It is now time for “News from the land of the pirates.” Somalia’s President has resigned after four years in office. I didn’t realize that Somalia actually had a government!

Do y’all want another example of YOUR money being improperly used by our gummint? Well, ya get it anyway. Senator Tom Harkin (DEMOCRAT-Iowa) has appropriated $8 MILLION for a company that would not be eligible for money from the program it is coming from, except that Harkin gave them an exemption. This company was failing ever since they got busted for having most of their workforce made up of illegal aliens. Gotta love how the Democrats uphold the law and look out for AMERICAN workers.

Some folks on the left keep claiming that the W Administration has trampled on the Bill of Rights by authorizing signals intelligence on international phone calls. These same people support tracking where all cars in a state go and taxing them according to their mileage. Stand by for a couple of years of extremely creative ideas for taxing EVERYTHING.

Is it just me, or does Caroline Kennedy look more like John Kerry than her father?

Blogger Saltwater gives us a wonderful little story about his grandkids, and how the grandson is becoming a master negotiator for an eight year old. And the moral of the story is……(I ain’t saying. You can read it yourself!)

What in the world is a Crawfish doing in the frozen wastelands of Pennsylvania? This ain’t right! Eleven degrees on Monday morning, with the forecasted temperature to be sixteen on the morning that y’all will be reading this. BRRRRRRRR!!!! Oh well, I’ve got puh-lenty of material for y’all to read before Christmas.

The Crawfish might owe an apology to the Dallas Police Department, but not yet. Some evidence is now coming out that the attacks on my classmate’s older sister may have been faked by her and the deaths of her and the kids was possibly a murder-suicide, although the Medical Examiner says that the test results won’t be back for a few weeks.  On the other hand, the family and some folks that I know close to the situation caution us to not believe everything we see in the news, as some of it is questionable.  They don’t believe that she did the deed.  Something’s fishy, and I don’t know which direction the odor is coming from.  When I get more definitive information, I will let y’all know.  Please continue to pray for Tammy (mother), Greg (brother), and Frank (husband).  Thank you.

I can hear the conservatives around the country screaming “WE TOLD YOU SO!” on this story. Just before the election, the “economic experts” told us that if we didn’t give hundreds of billions of $$ to the banks, we would face an economic crisis and the stock market would crash. Well, the liberal Congress and the liberal President handed over the billions, with absolutely no strings attached. What happened? The stock market still crashed, and the banks used the money to pay bonuses and to acquire other banks. Congress is demanding that the Big 3 show business restructuring, but the banks are allowed to act as if they were Congress with their fiscal irresponsibility. The banks even admit that they don’t know where the money went!

This quote comes from The Chosen One’s choice to be Secretary of Energy, “Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe,” Here’s the Wall Street Journal article the quote came from. I hope and pray that the GOP Senators in his confirmation hearing hammer him silly with that quote. Another friggin’ liberal raising taxes on the poor and middle class while praying at The Goracle’s altar. Hat tip to blogger OncealwaysaMarine.

Y’all know how much I cannot stand The Prophet Algoracle and his Glo-Bull Warming FRAUD. Well, blogger Catmman has a column up in which The Crawfish found an absolute GEM! Y’all have GOT TO GO HERE!

What’s the best way to turn a member of the media into a conservative? Just check this headline!

Not only is prospective White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel hip deep in the Governor Blogo scandal, but he has a history of trying to get illegal alien CRIMINALS to be eligible to vote in the USA. Gotta love someone who puts partisan politics ahead of national security.

Put down all food and beverage for this video that really IS in the holiday spirit, for twisted minds like mine!

I think someone just ruined their career. A real METEOROLOGIST from CNN just blew the lid off of Algoracle’s myth of man-made Glo-Bull Warming. Not only did he call the theory “arrogant”, but he showed the history of global temperature trends. His masters at CNN are probably quite displeased.

The Governator says he will veto the newest budget plan from the Californication legislature. It has a few budget cuts and tax increases, but doesn’t cut enough. Here’s a suggestion to help him balance the budget…end the financing of any service for illegal aliens. No welfare, health care, education, in-state tuition for college, housing, etc. That’d knock off a LOT from the budget.

Maybe there is a small community of conservatives left in Chicago. Here’s a Univ of Chicago professor who says that Employee Free Choice Act which is really the Union Thuggerization Act, is unConstitutional.

Once upon a time, there was a new cable TV network. It was designed to be the video version of a good rock and roll radio station. Then they figured out that they had the power to program the tastes in music for all of America’s youth, so they foisted “New Wave” upon us, and then helped (c)rap become popular. Now, MTV has completely lost their way and is heavily expanding their reality show content. What does that have to do with rock and roll music videos?

Liberal Democrat George W. Bush announced a bailout plan that will go into effect for the UAW…er, the Big 3 automakers. Immediately, the UAW put out a statement basically saying that anybody who expects the union to help out is smoking crack because the union is going to make ZERO concessions, no matter if it drives the companies their workers actually work for into the ground. It is all about union power, even if it causes the union worker to lose his job. Morons.  When are they going to realize that the employees work for the companies, not the unions?

Blogger Ender has a really good satire post about the Goracle and his minions in a parody of Tennison’s “The Charge of the Light Brigade.”

Only in Californication can the State Attorney General say that a legally passed amendment to the state Constitution violates the state Constitution. Memo to your pot-fried brain, Mr. A-G, if it is in the Constitution, then it cannot be unConstitutional.

When he’s in front of friendly crowds, The Chosen One is saying a lot about the proposals that he’s planning to make once he is crowned. Unlike the centrist stuff he spouted before the cameras on the campaign trail, in these settings he returns to his Marxist-socialist roots.

We’re now entering peak sex-season in the USA according to some folks who study that stuff. That may be, since those of us who have been married for more than 5 years tend to only have our fun around birthdays and Christmas….

Although it is for purely selfish reasons, IRAN is joining with the international community by sending a warship to Somali waters to help fight the pirates. That’s a good start, President I’minajihad.

Here’s another expose on the fact that rules don’t matter when you are The Chosen One.

From the “Color Me Surprised…NOT!” files comes another example of the GOP having no spine at all. House Minority Leader Boehner calls the ILLEGAL use of TARP funds to bail out the UAW…er, the automobile manufacturing industry, regrettable. While don’t you file suit against it and prevent it, then? No spine and no (self-censored because this is a family-friendly website).

Continuing my Christmas Spirit theme, there’s 112 folks who are thanking their guardian angels about now and believing in miracles during this season. You would be too if the 737 you were flying in crashed and burned on takeoff but nobody died.

Columnist Kevin McCullough has this column that thanks the ones who serve, tells some of what they endure to protect the nation, and shows why some folks just never will get it. Well worth the read.

Is there anything related to government in Corruptionnois…er, Illinois, that isn’t screwed up to the point of being comically sad?

Blogger Saltwater sent me another satisfying story of 2nd Amendment rights being used to the detriment of a bad guy. I love these stories!

While Red Nanny P-Lousy and the rest of the Gang that Couldn’t Get Approval Rates Above 20% are accepting a pay raise for their strenuous job of campaigning non-stop while OCCAISIONALLY showing up for Congressional sessions and screwing those up beyond belief, Sarah Palin is refusing a pay raise in Alaska, even though she is only making $125K per year. Hat tip to FawnMac.

Just what we need. The Californication of America begins. Do we really want this nation to resemble the most screwed up state?

Meanwhile, the message from the Democrats seems to be that we need all sorts of government intervention, spending, stimulus, and bailouts, but all of that will still not stop the recession from worsening. If it isn’t going to help matters any, then why destroy the Constitution by doing it?

Hugo the Red gives us yet another example of what might happen if the marxist/socialists/Obamists take complete control.

Nicholas Kristof’s Sunday column shows the hypocrisy of the left when it comes to charity and personal donations. The left is oh-so-generous with OPM (Other People’s Money), but stingy with their own. They believe that gummint is the solution to all of life’s problems, while conservatives believe in faith, personal responsibility, and personal giving along the lines of what Jesus (and the prophets of the Old Testament) told us to do.

Here’s a good series of articles from Monday’s Drudge Report. First, ALL of Canada might have a white Christmas for the first time since 1971. Wasn’t that during the time period that the climate alarmists were screaming about Global Cooling? Joe Bastardi of Accuweather points out that European temperatures are 6-10 degrees cooler than normal, and the US temps are more like 1950, the year that signaled an end to the warming cycle of the 30s and 40s. Heck, even the Chinese are saying that Beijing just had its coldest December day in 57 years! “Paging Algore! Paging Algore! Where are you Algore?”

Those of you who are male and have been married for more than 5 years might consider this as a Christmas gift to your wife. Okay, so it would really be for you, but still!

A UN expert says that Zimbabwe’s Dictator Mugabe is out of touch with reality. I think that qualifies for a “Golden DUH! Award.”

Someone needs to welcome central India into the 19th century. They seem to be a few centuries behind reality.

Blogger Gunny G sent this ad from the Washington Post’s website. The people can send, for a nominal fee, their congratulatory messages to The Chosen One. Since they are media lapdogs of Obama’s, they will not allow any messages that are not “congratulatory in nature” according to the fine print at the bottom. Opposition to HIM is not allowed.

Alright, this column has gone on longer than I wanted. I just keep finding more material. I’ll end it with this. The Crawfish wishes all of you a very Merry Christmas, not Happy HanuRamaKwanzMas.

Welcome to another special Saturday edition of The Weekly Claw. By Friday morning, I had about 1 ½ times the normal amount of material for my columns, so this edition just had to be done.

I start off on a very serious note.  Some really bad news has just hit very close to home for The Crawfish. The older sister of a classmate of mine, and good friend, from 5th to 12th grades, along with her 4 year old boy and 8 year old girl, was murdered Friday morning in my hometown of Dallas. Her father was a former Assistant DA and then a District Court Judge, and presided over a few high profile cases. If you read the whole story and the police report links in the Dallas Morning News article here you will see that she and her family were attacked a couple of times earlier this week, and that her father, who died last year, was mentioned by the attackers. After two brutal attacks in two days on the daughter of a judge, why in the world wasn’t the Dallas Police Department providing serious protection? Are they really THAT INCOMPETENT? One of the perps was described as having a “912″ tattoo on his neck, which means he was a member of the International Aryan Brotherhood. What are those morons doing in Dallas? The Crawfish is, to put it bluntly and un-PC, PISSED!

‘Tis the season, and by that I don’t just mean the Christmas and Hanukkah season, but the season of end-of-the-year lists. Senator Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) has his annual report on wasteful government spending. The report is 49 pages long, but I suggest that you go straight to page 47.

I THINK this little video somewhat counts as being in the proper holiday spirit. Whaddy’all think?

Updating last Tuesday’s story about Guvna Patterson and his plan to increase taxes, we have this story from the Noo Yawk Post which details some of it. The Guvna is even going to tax iTunes downloads! I thought only the feds could allow taxes on interstate commerce via the internet. Have you ever noticed how many Noo Yawkers move away from Noo Yawk in order to escape the massive taxation, but they continue voting for Democrats wherever they go? Yeah, that makes sense.

On the subject of outrageous taxes, don’tcha love it when liberals try to make things easier to pass by changing verbage? Obama says 95% are going to get tax cuts, knowing that 40% don’t pay taxes, so he’s actually going to increase WELFARE. Now the Californication liberals can’t get their increased taxes through the state legislature, so they change the term to “FEES!”

Here’s one from the “I saw this one comin’ a mile away” files. The heterophobe backers of all that is leftist are upset with Obama’s choice of pastor to give the invocation at the coronation…er, inauguration. They can’t believe that He chose someone who is anti-gay marriage to be there. Well, DUH! Anyone who is a real pastor and believes in the Word of God is in opposition to the heterophobe agenda, since the Torah, the Bible, and even the Koran all state plainly that homosexuality is an abomination to God. I guess this is just another example of the real agenda of the left coming forth…the destruction of all religion and morality in America.

How do you cure constipation among airline passengers? With this statement from the pilot.

The Religion of Perpetual Outrage continues its attacks on anything that might resemble Christianity in the UK. Will this become the norm in the USA as our liberal political correctness society and Calypso Louie’s Nation Of Islam gain more power through their allies in Congress and the new Administration?

This story, courtesy of Neal Boortz, gets me miffed on multiple levels. Would the Mall Of America do this in support of Christians and real Americans? We must kowtow to the Religion of Perpetual Outrage and the immigrants who refuse to assimilate into America? There’s no need for any signs in public places to be in foreign languages unless those places are tourist traps or immigration offices.

We are continuing our expose on the liberal media whenever we can. Do they really expect us to believe that they are not extremely biased in favor of the liberals when the head of TIME’S DC Bureau becomes the spokesman for The Gaffe Man?

Could it be that Hollyweird is finally getting a clue? The big-name stars are coming out in opposition to a strike by the Screen Actors Guild. They have noticed that the economy is in a downturn. It would be really bad form for those idjuts to go on strike and complain about their millions of $$ when the rest of the country is struggling. Now if the professional athletes (such as girly-hair Manny Ramirez) would have the brains to stop insulting all of their fans, who actually WORK for a living, by rejecting contract offers of $45 MILLION over 2 years….

More proof that race is THE most important thing when appointing/electing someone to a high gummint position. Whatever happened to the actual words of Dr. King, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Guess that was all just rhetoric.

Speaking of clueless athletes and race baiters, Charles “The Round Mound of Rebound” Barkley spouted off about a coaching hire at his alma mater. Charles, a BASKETBALL player, is complaining about the hiring of a new FOOTBALL coach, who he says was only hired because of his race. Sorry, Chuck, but Gene Chizik is a highly sought after coach who was on the staff of Mack Brown a couple of years back when Texas won the National Championship. Turner Gil, the black coach that Chuck supports, has very little on his resume compared to Chizik. Give him a few more years at his lower-level program and he might be ready for the big-time, but not right now. Hiring based on race instead of quality is guaranteed to give you mediocrity. Well respected black sports journalist Jason Whitlock agrees that this is not the time, and not the proper school, for Turner Gil’s next big step. He just signed a 3 year extension where he’s at, and his (and my) hometown team, TCU, might have a job for him at that point.

Law enforcement in the western world has become too pacified. Rioters are allowed to do whatever they please, but the cops must be nice to them. If The Crawfish was in charge of the riot troops, any protester who intentionally attacked a cop would be met with instantaneous lethal force! If they don’t like it, tough cookies!

Back to the holidays for a sec. This little boy in Texas was busted because he was preparing for Santa’s arrival.

Every once in a while, you get a pretty cool story from the world of sports. This one comes from the Dallas Cowboys and their opponent in the final game at Texas Stadium.

More from the gummint of Mexico and their continued invasion of the USA… That group, whose corruption makes Corruptionnois…er, Illinois look positively clean, has opened a call center to assist the ILLEGALS in Arizona.

The Jihad against the Infidels even extends into dolls made for our little girls. Mattel has a doll that says Islam is the Light! Thankfully, some parents and others have noticed and are taking action. Do NOT buy that toy for your little female yard ape this Christmas.

As long as Red Nanny, Land Deal, and The Chosen One haven’t had a chance to repeal it, we might as well celebrate some of the protections that the 2nd Amendment affords, and the folks that use them.

Don’t try to tell me that we don’t have royalty in America. Now that Princess Caroline of the Kennedys appears to be getting a seat in the US Senate, we really do need to ask ourselves what the qualifications of high office are. The only qualifications she has are her gender, her Party preference, and her last name. Of course, the guy we just elected President only has his Party preference and the fact that he’s 1/8 black. Then again, she does have similarities with Obama. He votes “PRESENT” a bunch of times, while she doesn’t even bother to vote.  Uncle Teddythedrunk (D-Chappaquiddick) is reportedly quite distressed that, with his failing health, the Senate might be without a Kennedy for the first time in over 50 years.  The Crawfish asks, “and that would be a BAD THING???”

According to some folks in China, Mittens bad, Fido good! Yeah, I know…I ain’t right.

This guy is just plain W-R-O-N-G! I don’t think he qualifies for being in the proper holiday spirit.

Thanx to blogger ChrisR for a heads up on a GREAT CHRISTMAS IDEA FOR MEN!

One of the worst Mayors in Dallas history has emerged as a frontrunner for a position in the Obama Administration. I guess the only requirements were: a pulse, Democrat tendencies (the Mayor of Dallas is officially a non-partisan position, but everyone knew Ron Kirk was and is a liberal Democrat), and skin color. Oh, and The Chosen One was starting to get criticized for a lack of folks from the South in his Administration line-up.

There is some GOOD NEWS from the city of my birth. A masked gunman tried to rob a bank in Dallas, but a security guard caused him to assume room temperature. The perp did shoot the guard once, but Kevlar worked for the guard. The Crawfish raises his glass to the guard AND the makers of bullet resistant vests! Now the family of the perp say the poor boy was suffering depression because his father died recently. Yeah, that’s a good excuse to rob a bank and shoot a guard. Funny thing is, the perp’s family got into a brawl while the TV station was trying to interview them! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

I’ve got to apologize for the length of this week’s column. I didn’t cross over into the “dang, I’ve got a lot of material” zone until too late to make a proper special Saturday edition. That being said, buckle up for a bumpy ride!

The spoiled brats of the left are rampaging through Europe because they aren’t being given an easy life though socialism. This is what happens when Marxism/socialism takes root in a generation…and The Chosen One wants that for America?

Blogger Third Eye has this quality piece on the history of the US auto industry, and what the heck happened to it. A bit long, but well worth your time.

If you didn’t already have enough evidence that unions in the US are outta control, we get this bit of insanity from the NFL Players Union. How can they defend that idiot from the team’s quite sensible actions? Oh, and why in the world do a bunch of people whose MINIMUM salary is over $250K, and whose AVERAGE salary is well over $1 million, need a friggin’ union?

Here we go with another Glo-Bull Warming update. This one comes from southern Californication and involves another lack of warmth. When can we start prepping lawsuits for fraud against the Prophet Algoracle?

There is more evidence that the parties for Obama’s victory were well-supplied. Looks like its harpoon time again.

The Governor Blogo scandal is making me smile. The wiretaps show him to be furious over the fact that the Office of the President Elect only offered him “appreciation” in exchange for naming their top choice to the Senate seat vacated by Obama. How could he know what they were offering if, as The Big O proclaimed, neither he nor his staff have had any contact with Blogo and his people on the issue? Looks like someone is lying!

Here is one for the “Now this REALLY IS the holiday spirit” files. I always tear up with scenes like this one (once you get past the Tide commercial). Yes, The Crawfish is a big ol’ softy. Welcome Home Corpsman!

Ya really gotta love the “debate” over man-made Glo-Bull Warming. One UN group claims that they have proved that it is real, but they complain that the critics want real proof, which they have none of. Meanwhile, a US Senate committee’s minority report that includes testimony and documentation from over 650 actual SCIENTISTS states that it is false. The Senate report includes many links, so my readers are asked only to delve into it when they have some quality time, and a tall glass of adult beverage, but it is worth it. Of course, we’ll never be rid of factually challenged “scare the public” stories from liberal news organizations until we capitulate to the frauds and the UN (but I repeat myself).

Would the Democrats play politics with the auto company bailout bill and put non-bailout stuff into it? Well, of course Senator Dingy Harry Reid would!

Officially, the Senate vote was to invoke cloture on a bill about the Alternative Minimum Tax, but it was really the auto bailout. Why can’t those politicians ever tell the truth when they label a bill for a vote? Oh, and by the way, Dingy Harry was one of the Senators voting AGAINST the bill, but he officially blames the GOP. Afterwards, Reid gave a speech on the Senate floor in which he predicted that the stock market would crash the next day. All during that speech, he was fighting off a big smile and laughter. He’s all giddy while trying to provoke another economic downturn! I don’t have THAT video (if any of you find it, send it to me ASAP!), but I do have this one (thanks to blogger GunnyG) that includes Senator Upchuck Schumer obviously quite happy that the economy is bad while Bush is still in office. Upchuck needs to get beeeotch-slapped for this one.

President Bush, who seems to have turned into a far-left liberal for the last few months of his Presidency in an attempt to get the media to love him, wants to use money from the original $700 BILLION bank bailout for the auto makers. Unfortunately, as the Heritage Foundation points out, it is illegal to give that money to anybody but “financial institutions” and the Big 3 don’t qualify.

I know, I know…this story really won’t surprise any of y’all. The Chosen One’s choice for Energy Secretary is a big anti-fossil fuels guy and believer in man-made Glo-Bull Warming. He’s probably a disciple of The Prophet Algoracle.

Speaking of anti-American MORONS, we now take a trip (not via acid) to Woodstock, NY. The love, peace, Kumbaya, free sex and dope stuff didn’t leave that area after the famous concert. We’ve gotta have world peace, man no matter who it inconveniences. Have those now-grown-up Hippies ever taken baths? Yep, I went there. Hat tip to Neal Boortz for that one.

Have you noticed that anytime stories such as this one are in the news, we don’t hear much from Algoracle? But we all know that Man-Made Glo-Bull Warming is REAL! Just ask the residents of Houston and N’awlins if they wanna kick Algoracle in his squirrel food.

Today’s Stoooopid Criminal Alert comes from Minnesota. You’ve gotta read it to believe it.

Michelle (***sigh!***) Malkin has another column highlighting the law breaking and corruption of yet another Obama appointee for his cabinet. Is there anyone at all who is associated with this guy who doesn’t have severe ethical/moral/legal issues?

A friend of mine (former SEAL) sent me this website link (which his “sweet innocent daughter” sent to him) for all of you guys who have girly-girl daughters, nieces, girlfriends, wives, etc. I say that it is another example of the proper holiday spirit to send out that catalogue!

All of the “experts” are claiming that the auto company bailout must happen immediately or bankruptcies would cause turmoil within weeks. Aren’t these the same people who said the stock market would crash unless the gummint ponied up $700 billion for the banks? What happened when the $700 billion was ponied up? The stock market crashed anyway! Those “experts” need to get real jobs.

From the “Some People Are Just Morons” files comes this little story of a brain dead man and his rowboat. Why would anybody do that in the first place, and why stop that close to the goal if you go through that much?

Here we go with another story brought to you by those folks on the left, who DEMAND that everybody be tolerant of all things deviant while attacking anything or anybody that stands for morality. Yep, those folks are sooooo tolerant that they are completely INTOLERANT of anybody whose opinion differs from theirs. Our friendly preachers of tolerance set fire to Sarah Palin’s church in Wasilla, AK, on Friday night while there were people inside, including children. Did the sickos at least buy some carbon credits from The Prophet Algoracle and the Gorons before lighting off their blaze?

We all know that the poor in America disproportionately vote for liberals, because the liberals promise them gummint handouts and who is gonna vote against free money for themselves, right? Well, The Chosen One is trying to figure out if $1 TRILLION is enough to buy the necessary votes to keep his party in power in 2010. Earth to Obama: “Check the Constitution. Your handouts and entitlement programs not only don’t ever work, but they aren’t legal.”

If you had any doubt that Vlad “The Impaler” Putin was reinstating the Soviet Union in Moscow, then this ought to cure you of those doubts. Is this what we can expect once Red Nanny, Dingy Harry, and The Chosen One institute the Fairness Doctrine and shove their “reforms” through without opposition? This is why the Minnesota recount and Georgia runoff were so critical.

Holy Schnikey! Hat tip to Michelle Malkin for this link. You won’t believe the size of a UAW contract with an auto company. Thank God for lawyers, eh?

Is there any doubt that Robert Mugabe has been the worst national leader in the history of Africa? He took a rich nation that was the agricultural leader of the continent and took it into dire poverty and hunger. Like a good liberal, he has ignored and falsified election results and basically proclaimed himself leader for life. Lately, Zimbabwe has been in the grips of a cholera outbreak that has sickened and killed thousands. Mugabe’s response? The cholera outbreak is biological warfare against him and his nation by the British. Will someone please hurry up and implant a couple of 7.62 x 33mm, 24.7 grain devices in his brain housing group?

Once again, Juan “Amnesty” McCain proves that he prefers to side with Democrats over conservatives. How in the world did he ever get the nomination?

How economically feasible are electric cars? A report from France shows that hybrid engines and other developments show MUCH more promise. They also don’t have to be recharged by coal-fired power plants (USA) or eeevilll nukes (France).

Speaking of eeevilll nukes, there’s a wackjob in Utah who claims nukes will rain down on us and prevent Obama from taking office. He also claims to be a prophet. Methinks he’s off his meds.

Don’t fret, folks. There is some good news regarding illegal immigration.

Is there ANYONE associated with Barack Obama, besides his children, who isn’t being investigated?

“Arab outrage of the Week Awards” presents this story. Iran is upset at a movie about wrestling, and I don’t care! I really am tired of the Religion of Perpetual Outrage.

From the “What will they tax next?” Department comes this story, via Michelle Malkin, about Noo Yawk Guvna Patterson and his plans to raise taxes during economic down times. As the Guinness commercials say…”BRILLIANT!”

And now back to our regularly scheduled Tuesday programming.

Now that the eeeeeeevilllllll rich oil companies aren’t front page news anymore and gas prices are down, The Office of the President Elect has announced that He is backing down from ANOTHER campaign promise, this one being a windfall profits tax on Big Oil. Maybe his behind-the-scenes economic folks are telling him that raising taxes is NOT good for a struggling economy.

More on the inmates running the asylum… Of course, this story comes from the UK, as do most of our stories about special treatment for CONVICTS. A judge has ruled that is is a violation of human rights to force inmates to go without their heroin when in prison. When I read that story, all I could do was shake my head.

Great. Do we really need more family dynasties in the gummint? Former Guvna Jeb Bush is considering a run for the Senate seat of Mel Martinez. Is this an improvement? Jeb is at least occasionally a conservative, but he, like Mel, is a fan of amnesty.

We’re always hearing about the superiority of all things Harvard, especially their School of Economics. Well, if they’re that smart, how come their endowment is down by 22% in the first 4 months of their fiscal year? Looks like they are really good at investing, huh? Friggin’ elitists.

Some folks see a story like this one about someone falling down an elevator shaft and wonder how it could happen. Well, in my neck of the woods a couple of months ago, a small town police chief and a rookie cop were seriously injured when they fell down an elevator shaft in a winery at 0-dark-thirty. They were investigating the place because a gate was found open.

Is THIS a preview of life under Dear Leader when Red Nanny and Land Deal Reid implement the Fairness Doctrine?

The Crawfish is intimately familiar with the divisions within the Episcopal Church. Ya see, that’s the faith that I was raised in. Over the past few years, the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church in Canada, have been increasingly gay-friendly, including blessing same-sex couples and ordaining an openly gay BISHOP! Of course, these actions are a direct contradiction of the laws of God as specifically stated in the Bible. There are a number of parishes and dioceses that have objected to these stances, with many of them in the US opting out of the Episcopal Church and putting themselves under the care of foreign Anglican bishops. Well, it now appears that a true split is occurring with a new Anglican province forming in the US. I’m happy to see that my home diocese, Ft Worth, is sticking with the Word of God, instead of the word of gay man.

Hmmmm…. Does this open up a chance for The Crawfish for Senate in 2010? Only if I hit a really big Powerball or Mega Millions lotto in the next year.

And now for today’s edition of “Stoooopid Lawsuit News!” I guess we will need warning labels on every single item that is ever to be sold in the USA. These lawsuits would end if we could pass “Loser pays” legislation.

Here’s one from the “Well, DUH!” department. What happens when someone who has spent most of their political career opposing the 2nd Amendment gets elected President?

This is becoming a regular feature of my columns, and probably will remain so for another 3 weeks or so. From the “This ain’t quite the holiday spirit files” comes an idiot cop in Boston who must have been behind on his daily ticket quota.

Another of my fellow bloggers, Shining City, has a post with a video that is sure to make you chuckle a few times. It ain’t politically correct, but we all need a good laugh now and again. BTW, Shining City is really a doctor.

Blogger The Interface gives us this cartoon about the UAW bailout and this one on bailouts in general. See! I really am trying to provide entertainment for y’all!

The most hilarious bailout story (well, as much as any of them can be funny) yet has just come out. At least this one doesn’t involve the taxpayers’ money. The Offices of the President-Elect and the Vice President-Elect (when did those become real titles and offices?) are sending out e-mails to their campaign donors asking for more cash, but not for themselves.

Well, this story from Bailout Central is almost as stooopid. The head of GM showed up at Crapitol Hill in a car that was supposed to represent the Chevy Volt electric car but was not really a fully done model. Electric cars are a huge scam by the greenies.
a) They only get 40 miles per charge. (this one was
