So Wonder Boy Barry thinks it's all over. Not so fast, Wonder Boy. There's still plenty of time between now and  the convention for someone to come up with pictures of you in bed with dead girl or a live boy, and if there's anything out there you can bank on Team Clinton finding it. Even if you do end up with the nomination, it's still a long, long time till November. So, what are your choices? You can invite Hillary to be your running mate and get used to a constant itch between your shoulder blades, or you can choose another running mate and have the Clinton machine work at least as hard as the McCain machine to keep you from being the incumbent in 2012. What's it gonna be, boy genius?

It's not the fact that he's black, folks; it's the fact he's stupid.

The big story from late last night:
