What do y’all think caught the eye of The Crawfish this week? PUH-LENTY! Some of it made me scratch my head. Some entertained me. Quite a bit HACKED ME OFF! Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?

How did the mortgage and banking crises really happen? A former real estate attorney, who is also a Libertarian talk show host, explains it so even a Crawfish can understand. Here’s what happened

Lehman Brothers filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week, helping the market meltdown, but there’s a dirty little secret there. They set aside $2.5 BILLION to give out bonuses to their Noo Yawk staff folks. How in the world can you be bankrupt and still set aside $2.5 BILLION for bonuses? Part of me says that it is up to the stockholders to vote on things like this, but part of me actually agrees with Obama and McCain that “golden parachutes” for executives that screw up companies need some major regulation, since the stockholders never DO vote on this junk. Bovine Excrement at Lehman Bros

Hypocrisy alert! Senator Obama says “we have not managed our federal budget with any kind of discipline,” but he wants to give over $50 BILLION PER YEAR to the UN to combat global poverty (in other words, give the money to tin pot dictators and other anti-American corrupt people). Yeah, the UN is a good place for our money

Harlem, Noo Yawk, Representative Charlie “I can break tax laws because I’m the Chairman of that Committee” Rangel is apologizing for his remark when he called Sarah Palin “disabled”, but the interviewer called him on it and gave him multiple chances to correct himself. Charlie the lying pig without lipstick

The Obama campaign keeps trying to paint McCain as being George W. Bush is another body, but the public isn’t really buying it (well, at least those who get their news from somewhere other than the Daily Kos-sack or Huffington Post). He’s not W The Crawfish wonders when McCain and the GOP will start painting Obama as being just a continuation of Nancy P-Lousy and Land Deal Reid. You know, those folks who have brought Congress’ approval ratings to the lowest in history, and over 15% below that of W.

The Crawfish can’t believe that this is happening in California. Not the principal’s initial actions, since that is definitely basic left wing anti-America California in action, but that the students have fought back! Go Get ‘em kids

A guy admits that he’s not a really observant Jew, but he wants to keep his beard because of religious reasons. The problem is that he’s a firefighter, and beards prevent oxygen masks and other breathing apparatus from making a proper seal. That’s one of the main reasons for the no beard policy in the Navy, since we are all firefighters on the ship and might have to don gas masks, oxygen generators, or respirators in our work days. What do y’all think

Mahhh(hack p-tooey!)moud I’minajihad is once again visiting the UN and making a speech in Noo Yawk. A Jewish group organized a large protest, and invited Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin to be co-keynote speakers. The Wife of The Impeached One pulled out when she heard that Palin was going to be there, since she didn’t want to be overwhelmingly upstaged (she said it was because Palin’s presence made it a political event, as if hers didn’t). Since Her Majesty wasn’t going to be there, several high-profile Jewish Democrats demanded that Palin’s invite get pulled, and it was. Why do American Jews support the party that refuses to support Israel? They’d rather go soft on I’minajihad than let a Republican blast his Holocaust denying butt. They fear Sarah more than Iran

Governor Palin did release the text of the speech she would have given to the group. We will defeat the Mad Mullahs No, she doesn’t say that. Those are The Crawfish’s words.

One of our great action heroes, and now a columnist, has weighed in on the dissatisfaction that Americans are feeling with their current government and the candidates being foisted upon us. The Crawfish agrees with him. Roundhouse kick THIS

The Soviet invasion of Georgia actually commenced before the Georgian Army began its crackdown on the breakaway provinces, according to intercepted cell phone calls. More proof that it was all a set-up by Mr. KGB, Vlad “The Impaler of Georgia” Putin. BUSTED

The Soviet Union is sending a cruiser and a destroyer to exercise with the Venezuelan Navy. It took them a couple of weeks to find TWO ships that might be able to make it that far without fleet tug support. Did they fill the hulls with ping pong balls for added buoyancy? Can they make it that far?

Completely non-PC alert! There is something absolutely wrong about this story. Construction workers complained? She’s either a whale or FUGLY! She ain’t cute

The Democratic candidate for US Senate in Minnesota, washed up comedian and founder of the failed Air America, Al Franken, has now been busted suggesting anti-Republican skits for “Saturday Night Live” and they aren’t as funny as the fact that he believes himself to be Senate-worthy. There’s a reason Air America FAILED

Speaking of lame humor from “SNL” (is there any other kind of humor there since the “Not Ready For Prime Time Players” left the show?), now they’re making jokes about Todd Palin having sex with his daughters. That’s just disgusting and over the line. Anything for a laugh from liberals and NBC

Some of the folks that have property, or HAD property, where Hurricane Ike hit might lose rights to their land and beach houses. When this law was passed, the state legislature was solidly Democratic, but watch the current (GOP-led) legislature and Governor Rick Perry (Republican) get blamed when the land gets confiscated. Sorry but it sucks to be them
