Where Are The Clowns?

Where are the clowns? What do you mean, where are the clowns!? Look around you, for heaven's sake. Listen to the radio. Turn on the TV. Take a look at a newspaper or magazine. Pay attention for just one moment, would you? Look at what has happened here.

Clowns talking. Clowns lying. Clowns swindling other clowns. Clowns scrambling and clawing for a piece of the pie. Clowns passing bills. Clowns vetoing them. Clowns spinning. Clowns evading. Clowns justifying the ends. Clowns ignoring the means. Clowns torturing and killing and weaving plausible fictions of deniability while the rest of the world tries to understand how it all became nothing more than a game.
