At the Scott Brown Victory Celebration, Old Ebbitt Grill

Stacy and I are at the Old Ebbitt Grill for the Scott Brown victory celebration.

This is an important test of the team blogging concept.

The crowd is festive, the brew is cold and the venue lacking room for this many attractive conservatives.
The staffers, of course, don’t show up on digital film, but we can show you a few other attendees. Stacy will update this post later with actual names, as I lack his impressive memory for people who can buy beer with facts.

The Nokia97 in the previous photo is a jolly good modem, and we’ve got two SD cards for the Barbie Cam, in all its bubble-gum glory. Thus, at CPAC next month, we should be able to get our blog on, irrespective of any room crunches on Blogger Row. Because we’re tough like that. Tougher still, now, will be if we can get Da Tech Guy on scene. I’m told that he can improve the bandwidth of a cel phone modem with a special Sicilian hand rub, though I am privately dubious on the point.Very quickly, before the battery dies on me, this blog would like to offer a large thank you to Shannon Burns of Victory Solutions, a fine host and American.

    This is all well and good, but there’s still a story out there.

    Why isn’t Scott in the Senate YET? Kirk is still voting us down the rathole.

    Presumably, the Secretary of State has yet to certify the election results.

    I’m glad that Brown won, but I would be careful pinning too many hopes on him. I cannot escape the feeling that we just received another “Snowe” job.

    A koala is sitting up a gumtree smoking a joint when a little lizard walks past, looks up and says: “Hey Koala, what are you doing?”

    The koala says: “Smoking a joint. Come up and have some.”

    So the little lizard climbs up, sits next to the koala and they enjoy a large doobie.

    After a while the little lizard says his mouth is dry and he is going to get a drink from the river.

    But the little lizard is so stoned that he leans too far over and falls into the river.

    A crocodile sees this, swims over to the little lizard and helps him to the side then asks the little lizard: “What’s the matter with you?”

    The little lizard explains to the crocodile that he was sitting smoking a joint with the koala in the tree, got too stoned and then fell into the river while taking a drink.

    The crocodile says he has to see this, and walks into the rain forest, finds the tree where the koala is sitting, with yet another joint.

    The crocodile looks up and says “Hey you!”

    The koala looks down at him and says…

    “Fuck! Dude? How much water did you drink?”
