Caaaannnnn youuuuuu dig it?


The scene at Barrypalooza, also known as the 2008 Democratic National Convention, just got a whole lot sweeter. Instead of preaching to a 20,000-strong crowd inside the convention center, Obama is going to throw down in front of 75-large at Invesco Field.

As much as TB is looking forward to the largest public gathering of criminals since Cyrus' ill-fated Bronx speech in '79 (pictured above), we can't help but state our concern for the well-being of the presumptive Democratic nominee. After all, the man is an "ex" smoker and Invesco field is situated a mile above sea level.

What I assume will be a half hour of blazing, passionate, flag-humping, change-related abstraction is bound to be impeded by this combination of damaged lungs and thin air. And while an oxygen tank in the podium might seem a practical solution, it's really only a more attractive target for a sniper. Besides, one candidate making his campaign rounds with an oxygen tank in tow is quite enough, thank you.
