We’re told by Programming that the show finally ends tonight — or maybe tomorrow, you know how those finales are. And while we know how much you’ve enjoyed it, your cards and letters aren’t enough to justify the ongoing production costs, and we think it’s best to stop now on a high note. But be sure to tune in next week when we debut our new summer sitcom, Psychogeezer & Son, about a lovably cantankerous junkyard owner and his adopted manchild who just can’t talk sense into him. You hear that, Cindy? I’m coming to join you, honey!

In case you missed last weekend’s Democratic Unity Message, here’s a refresher.

Saturday? Never happened.

Game over — except for the Sunday talk shows, the Credentials Committee, the Convention floor, the splinter party…

Here’s the box score:

1. Seat all Florida delegates: 12 for, 15 against. FAIL.

2. Half-votes for Florida delegates, with five minutes of footnotes: 27 for, 1 abstain(?). PASS.

3. Half-votes for Michigan delegates, with another five minutes of footnotes: 19 for, 8 against. PASS.

Comment of the Day to Chicago Bureau: “I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed! What I am saying is 10 to 20 million pissed off liberals, tops! Depending on the breaks.”

Update: “The Committee awarded to Senator Obama not only the delegates won by Uncommitted, but four of the delegates won by Senator Clinton. This decision violates the bedrock principles of our democracy and our Party. We reserve the right to challenge this decision before the Credentials Committee and appeal for a fair allocation of Michigan’s delegates that actually reflect the votes as they were cast.”

Oh, it’s on. Especially in the comments.

Programming note: Today’s episode of Battlestar Democratica begins at 9:30 a.m. Eastern, when we finally learn whether the renegade Floridian and Michigonia ships are allowed to rejoin the ragtag fleet, and perhaps are shown further clues to the remaining silicon-based life forms in the DNC.

As much as we’d love to watch Donna Brazile kick ass and take names, the Sandy Eggo Bureau has a strict policy not to open its doors before noon on weekends, and plans on waiting for the DVD to show up at Netflix.

After noticing some Unlicensed Rutting going on in one of our more chaste threads, we’re hastily compelled to introduce a new feature. In this inaugural edition, and in homage to one of the more notable scenes from Classic SATC, a story from those stuffy Brits that will unstuff your plumbing.
