Recently the naked cowboy, a guitar playing fixture in Times Square announced he is running for president in 2012. I really am not surprised as we have already had actors, weight lifters, wrestlers, and pop singers as politicians. One thing we have never had is a professional clown elected to congress like Francisco Silva of Brazil. Our congressional clowns are not professional by any stretch of the imagination, and they are not funny either. As we buy our tickets to the political circus I am reminded of P.T. Barnum who said "there is a sucker born every minute". He must have been referring to taxpayers.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/10/04/ap/strange/main6925513.shtml
