Elvis has left the building -- the hard way.

After Hillary Clinton moved that the delegates at the Democratic National Convention make Barack Obama the Dems' presidential candidate by acclimation, the throng outside MSNBC's headquarters behind Union Station erupted in applause. After watching them celebrate for a few minutes, I decided to head to the Pepsi Center -- and as I did, I came upon the item captured above. I had to wonder: Did this sign end up in the trash because Elvis had moved on to a better place -- or because he switched candidates and now he's a McCain man? Either way, it's heartbreak hotel for someone. -- Michael Roberts
