Q: It's 5AM — do you know where my Senator is?

A: No, seriously, has anyone heard from Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown? I'm worried about the effects staying up all night might have on him. The man already sounds like Tom Waits. If his voice gets any more gravelly, he might start literally coughing up shards of slate.
