But since I probably won't, I am counting on y'all to post updates for the Democrat challenged like me.
I am also curious to see what Assange is sitting on regarding Hillary that will supposedly ensure Hillary's arrest. Any thoughts? My guess is something regarding the selling of influence through the Clinton Foundation. Probably not enough for an indictment, but bad.

I think that it's entirely possible to be the following, all at the same time:
1. Pissed at the lack of neutrality by DWS. (And even more pissed at the lack of neutrality by the staff -- like those who suggested calling Bernie an atheist in Kentucky or wherever.)
2. Outraged/annoyed/amused by the press being curried/bullied and allowing itself to be curried/bullied. (Pre-publication review of stories? Shame on you, Politico.)
3. Shocked, shocked! at gambling going on in this casino. See also watching sausage getting made.
4. Certain that a leak of RNC emails would reveal at least as much nonsense -- and maybe more on the lack of neutrality.
5. Troubled by the fact that foreign powers seem to be behind the leak, concerned that the leak has a purpose of interfering with the election, yet acknowledging that the stuff that was leaked is Not Good and maybe should have been brought to light. (See also the Sony leak, sorta, and some but not all or even most of Snowden's leak.)
I started to mention Private Manning's leak here, but don't think that there is any info that she leaked it with either the assistance of a foreign power or was protected by one (obviously not, since she's in a domestic version of Gitmo).
6. Titillated by what's been leaked and curious about what Julian thinks he has on HRC.
7. Depressed as hell about the fact that no one seems to care that the hack (even if not done by the Russians) is a crime. And also depressed that (as one infosec commentator put it) all servers worth hacking have probably already been hacked.
8. Wanting to shout constantly at the TV "don't any of you idiots walk down the hall to talk? Or use the phone?"
9. Annoyed that this overshadowed Mike Piazza's introduction into the Hall of Fame (yes, fine -- Junior's, too).
