 And thus concludes the Obama administration, with just a little less than three years to go before President Paliromnebee takes over and picks up where Obama didn't leave off…
Brown, the Massachusetts Republican whose special election victory over Martha Coakley ended the Democrats' Senate supermajority, was sworn into office on the Senate floor by Vice President Joe Biden…
Brown was originally scheduled to be sworn in next week but asked Wednesday for the timeline to be sped up. He said Thursday that the reason was simple: "I want to get to work."
He's clearly new to this gig.
At his press availability, Brown thanked his family and supporters and offered a special thank you to Sen. John McCain, one of his earliest backers. He noted he had been sworn in on Bibles belonging to his two daughters, who could not attend the event because they had a basketball game and a test.
However, they are still available to be ogled via the webcams that he had set up in their bedrooms and showers. A free subscription gets you a 30-day pass, and after that it's only $8 a month.

 Joe Biden's son Beau, a Portuguese water dog the Attorney General of Delaware, was supposed to run for his father's Senate seat in 2010. That's how a democratic society works: you pass your Senate seat on to your relatives, until they die out and leave it to a naked truck driver.
Everyone knows this, except Beau Biden…
[P]undits in Delaware and beyond said it was a near-certainty he would enter the race against Republican Mike Castle, Delaware's nine-term U.S. representative, in what was shaping up as one of the hottest races in America.
The contest is not to be. On Monday, the younger Biden dashed those hopes, saying he would instead seek a second four-year term as attorney general.
The move leaves Democrats scrambling to find a candidate to run against Castle in November for the Senate seat Joe Biden held for 36 years.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. Beau Biden is Joe Biden's biggest gaffe yet.

Can you remember all the way back in the last decade when there was that one year that was called 2009 (or something like that)? That was a kinda crazy year, huh?
Well, if you're in the mood to get all retro and hipster faux-nostalgic, here's a bunch of interviews from that year — one for each month — back when the show wasn't even broadcast in high def. (Lo res interviews? That's like the Schlitz of talking stuff. Whatevs.)

True fact: The U.S. Senate has not held a Christmas Eve vote since 1895, when Senator Byrd was serving his first term. (That's also when the Democrats began trying to pass health care reform, I believe). To mark this moment, last night Sarah Palin offered some inspiring words and, uh, letters:
c tomrrw's Healthcare Takeover vote=the sleeping giant will awaken&action will b takn by"average"Americans as lite shines on big govt growth
Yeah, right. The sleeping giant would've had to get up at an ungodly hour, and I know for a fact the "average" American prefers to hit snooze. At any rate, I watched the whole thing so you didn't have to. Recap below.
