France Isn't Very Happy About Their Scary Clowns...

Clowning about in France isn't funny anymore.
Coulrophobia, the fear of clowns
is gripping the country.
Youths dressed as evil clowns are terrorising towns especially in the south of France where police recently arrested fourteen teenagers who were carrying pistols, knives and wielding baseball bats.
There's more about what has become a scary phenomenon here but according to the police the clowns antics are no laughing matter...

Send In The Clowns...

Send in the clowns.
There ought to be clowns.
We've got the political clowns.
Far too many of them, who with their power trips, their greedy self interests and their obsession with economic growth at any cost are making sure that our world is no longer a fun place. Except for a few.
No I'm talking of the Patch Adams variety.
The sort of clown that puts others' happiness before their own egos.
So where are the clowns.
There ought to be clowns.
Well, maybe next year...
