Every few years when I was a boy, the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus came to my small town in Ohio. I liked to see the tent go up and to watch the horses prance.
The trapeze artists and the lions were exciting, too. But best of all was the little car that sped around the ring with its horn blasting. When it stopped, 14 clowns got out of that little car. Kind of like the Republican candidates this year.
