I never much cared for circuses. As a child, my parents took me to the Shrine Circus, and I was more interested in the architecture of the arena than in the circus itself.

The clowns in Washington gave them too much competition.

Same here. Never had a desire as a kid to see one and refused once when my mother wanted to take me.

I bit the bullet for my own kids though.

Whatever that is, it has had more than enough food.

I noticed that the Confederate flag on the back of the bookshelf to the left of the harridan has been cropped out. Most of the internet versions of this photo have had said emblem airbrushed out as well!

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE COSTUMES AND CLOWNS?

Who cares where the Obama's go after Thursday!
