It's time to start planning for our McCain-Palin victory party, and perhaps even for the Inauguation celebration as well. In case anyone doesn't know, Republicans know how to party, and when it's time to watch Obama's bitter concession speech, we'll be partying chamber of commerce-style!
I've already found a perfect spot for Gold-level tithers and above - the same place the AIG executives used their economic stimulous money to create jobs for America:
Less than a week after the federal government committed $85 billion to bail out AIG, executives of the giant AIG insurance company headed for a week-long retreat at a luxury resort and spa, the St. Regis Resort in Monarch Beach, California, Congressional investigators revealed today...
"Rooms at this resort can cost over $1,000 a night," Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) said this morning as his committee continued its investigation of Wall Street and its CEOs.
AIG documents obtained by Waxman's investigators show the company paid more than $440,000 for the retreat, including nearly $200,000 for rooms, $150,000 for meals and $23,000 in spa charges.
"They're getting their pedicures and their manicures and the American people are paying for that," said Cong. Elijah Cummings (D-MD).

From an intimate private party in the Wine Cellar to a black-tie gala dinner in the Pacific Ballroom, the St. Regis Resort, Monarch Beach and its highly skilled catering staff provide the most ideal settings, amenities, conveniences and excellence to make your event memorable.
And yes, there's also entertainment for the kiddies:
Teens receive their own special evening at Spa Gaucin where they have an opportunity to experience an amazing 45-min facial or massage for only $120 (reg. $175). So Teens, gather your friends for this truly “spa”tacular occasion!
Argument against: the wine list is trashy, filled with California "wine" only good for watering plants with. We can easily bring our own.
So, in short:
Pros: chosen by AIG executives, who know how to party.
Cons: if we run out of wine we have to drink their bottle-in-bag trailor-trash moonshine.
