Another poster got it just right. The “set” looks like some kind of spectacularly gay bath house in Las Vegas. Maybe the Dims were able to borrow some well oiled body builders from Madonna’s road show.
I think I will go to a high school football game instead of watching the Jerk Messiah.

And tossed into the mix, let us not forget that Obama is seeking to cash in on Martin Luther King’s legacy.
Tonight's the fourth pre-season game vs. the hated Steelers.
Let the Games Begin!

How many day is this stupid thing. You’d think they would have run out of bull**** by now.
Me too! Oh wait, there’s no football tonight. Guess I’ll just break out the popcorn and watch the ascension of the messiah.
day = days.
The mothership has arrived!
