In a brief procedure, Governor Deval Patrick and the Governor's Council this morning certified the upset election of Scott P. Brown, clearing the way for the Republican to take the oath of office this evening in Washington.
Prior to the vote by the council, Councilor Michael J. Callahan offered a brief prayer for Brown and then councilors voted 6-0 to certify the results from last month's special election.
Patrick said as he slammed down a gavel and said, "motion carried. Done.''
Patrick and Secretary of State William Galvin then formally signed paperwork that will be sent to Washington, confirming that the Wrentham attorney will fill out the final two years of the late Edward M. Kennedy's term in office.
Brown is scheduled to be given the oath of office by Vice President Joseph Biden at 5 p.m. today.

WOO HOO! (DOING HAPPY SNOOPY BEAGLE DANCE!)

Good! We'll see if Reid dares any shenanigans before 5 p.m.
Probably not (regarding Filthy Harry), his knickers are still in a twist from Comrade 0bama’s comments about ‘blowing cash in Vegas’, so he may not be inclined to try and rush any votes.
He’ll probably fly . . . but it would be ever so much better if he arrived in DC driving his truck!!!
He is expected to arrive in DC at 2:30 today with the certification that was signed this morning.
This is Paul Kirk. If you are an American he ripped you off for over $6000. Paul Kirk is the temporary Senator for Massachusetts. He is the senator , illegally, because the law was changed, ex-post facto , to let the Governor rather than the people of Massachusetts select him. Even After Scott Brown won Paul Kirk continued to vote in the Senate, doubly illegal now because Kirk should have lost his vote after that election. Paul Kirk voted along with 59 other RATS on January 28 to rise the debt limit 1.9 Trillion dollars. A vote that would have failed without him. If dollars bills were laid end to end starting from the sun this would go past the orbit of Mars. That is $6258 for every man woman and child in America. Perhaps the largest theft in the history of man and it has attracted no more attention then a local car wreck.
Speaking of wrecks, this may be the final blow that plunges America into bankruptcy. Needless to say this will cripple America's ability to defend itself and allow all kinds of evil now laying in wait to wreck havoc upon the world. Congradulations Thiefsenator Paul, the new decade is only 28 days and you have perhaps succeeded in becoming one of its most evil men.
