For Something New…

There will be some new changes happening here at Crystal Clear Conservative within the next few weeks and in to the new year.   First change is that Crystal Clear Conservative will be moving to a new domain.  Yay!!!  The second change is that there will be a Crystal Clear Musings section devoted to cultural outlooks and personal opinions.  It is like a separate blog that details a non-political side of Crystal Clear Conservative.

As Crystal Clear Conservative is about to celebrate her first blogiversary, there is no doubt to be some form of festivity.  After all, you only celebrate first blogiversaries once, so we will be creating an open thread during the week of Christmas for you to leave your praises or snarky remarks about CCC.

These are just things to come, so brace yourselves for the first blogiversary celebrations.  Now, back to your regularly scheduled program.

Line of the Day

It appears that Sen. Harry Reid despises tourists.  He despises them so much that he won’t have to smell them in the Capitol, since the visitor’s center is underground with 26 restrooms.   Senator Reid made these comments during the ceremony yesterday commemorating the opening of Government Waste at work.

According to the Washington Examiner, Reid said that members of Congress will no longer be worried by smelling the tourists’ body odor.  Reid mentioned that his staff warned him not to make these remarks.

Isn’t it ironic?  “Dirty Harry” Reid made a comment about the stench of tourists, yet the taxpayers are complaining about the wasteful stench of wasting their money on a “quagmire” (i.e. the Capitol Visitor Center).

Green Week on NBC

Oh geez, why does NBC need to infiltrate their programs to honor their devotions towards going green.  Haven’t we heard enough about this going green stuff?  I recycle, watch my energy consumption, drive a vehicle that gets great gas mileage, and heck, I even watched “An Inconvenient Truth” for laughs (which expelled some oxygen particles).

Now, NBC has taken upon itself to scare us into buying some GE products (after all, GE owns NBC).  Even worst, Today Co-Host Meredith Vieira even said that global warming could cause the sea level to rise by 200 feet.  This statistic is further from the truth, than my foot is to the gas pedal of a diesel truck.  According to CEI’s Open Market Blog, the sea level will rise gradually by 27 feet over the span of 100 years.

Maybe, NBC would be better off focusing on improving their TV shows and being objective news reporters than spreading around how we need to be green.  In the spirit of global cooling (since it is 32 degrees here in Northern Virginia), we hand the Al Gore Village Idiot Carbon Footprint to our good friends at NBC for their “Going Green” week.

Joe Biden Suggests Halloween Costume for John McCain

Gee, I wonder why Biden would suggest that McCain needs a Halloween costume for change and to show his departure from President Bush’s failed policies.  At a recent campaign stop in Raleigh, NC, Biden made this remark.

I thought McCain was his own person.  I mean, after all, he is a maverick and went against Bush on the tax cuts (something that does not sit well with this conservative).

Since Biden has decided to give Halloween costume ideas, what do you think Biden should dress as for Halloween?

Decided to Stop Tweeting During Sporting Events

    I am making the wise decision to lay off tweeting (i.e. Twitter-ing) during the Redskins, Yankees, and Capitals games from now on. 

    Why?  I am invoking the curse of Crystal Clear Conservative on all of these teams causing loss after loss.  It just seems like a phenomenon lately…something that I am starting to notice (must be the former social worker in me).

    Oh yeah, tidings of great joy…MARYLAND WALLOPED WAKE FOREST!!!  LET’S GO TERPS!
