7. And I don't think Darcy Burner's race has been called. Also,

5. CNN Headline News Top Story: Britney files for Divorce

At 7 am this morning, the top story on CNN headline news was Britney Spears files for divorce. The number 2 story was Lindsay Lohan told Oprah that she is not a party girl. Oh, and by the way, Cheney-Bush Inc. just got new assholes ripped into them by 50 million angry voters.
