For those of us at work all day, how about a quick synopsis of what happened in GD-P?
These are just random guesses.

There were four posts demanding that Hillary drop out immediately, posted by people who yesterday posted that they were fine with her staying in as long as she liked.

There were two posts accusing Michelle Obama of being Huey Newton's love child.

There were five posts screaming for Skinner to "call it already."

There were four posts citing polls which showed Clinton handily beating McCain and Obama losing badly to him.

There were three posts citing polls which showed Obama handily beating McCain and Clinton losing badly to him.

There were three posts attacking two Hillary supporters on another site who said they would vote for McCain if Hillary lost.

There were two posts attacking one Obama supporter on another site who called Hillary a "nasty slag."

There were eight posts deriding Hillary for playing the sexism card.

There were six posts deriding Obama for playing the race card.

There was one lengthy post using a very complicated algorithm to show that Rasmussen is more accurate on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Gallup daily is more accurate on Thursdays and Fridays. This post used lots of masterful, colorful graphs and it took about half an hour to scroll down to the end of it.

There were eight posts declaring that it's over and it's been over for months.

There were eight posts excitedly declaring that tomorrow will finally put Barack over.

There were four posts angrily citing a Hillary/Karl Rove connection.

There were two posts angrily citing an Obama/Chuck Hagel ticket.

There was one post calling for civility and an end to the rancor. That post quickly became a flamefest and was locked.

Any others I missed?

2. Just the Olbermann ones
But to be fair to you, he generally doesn't start his anti-Clinton stories till later in the day (I think he's starting to get his stories from Ed Schultz.....)

Otherwise, SPOT ON.

5. Close, but the post on civility didn't become a flamefest. It just sank.

8. You missed the one that said FDR was a psychically powered leader of Mutants...
...and the one that had a stardom-ducking, death-faking JFK running a Sinclair gas station in Pahrump with a bearded Elvis working the attached diner, and Jim Morrison pumping gas and doing tune-ups on the weekends.

Stay connected, dammit!

13. don't forget the praising of Byrd's endorsement, despite his racism and homophobia.
Cause he opposed the war.
