The Onion Comes to DC

I was just at a very un-funny party welcoming The Onion to DC. Lots of people in suits at the Folger Shakespeare Library. Onion staff members attempted funny speeches about journalism and Shakespeare, and I was reminded of the difference between a comedy writer and an actor (zing). No rudeness intended, but really, it was a surprisingly dull affair. But we did get a free "I enjoy drinking beer" pint glass, and we got to say hello to the Post's Dan Froomkin, so that's something. Oh, and co-hosts Grover Norquist and Russ Feingold each speechified (yes, I'm serious) - GN was brief, RF told an amusing faux-story about hazing rituals on Cap Hill.

There were brownies.
