piling them all into a little car - it's hilarious and an austerity measure!

Even Warren Buffet has stopped laughing,clown face.

They couldn't do any worse than our economists. At least they admit that they're clowns.

No doubt they'll be discussing the Laffer curve.

In tough times, mimes and clowns can be very therapeutic. I for one feel much better after pummelling the living snot out of them.

Are you sure that's NOT Barbara Boxer in the photo?

The reason there are clowns is the reason I have a clown punching bag.

This reminds me of that Jack Handey line:
I've always had a fear of clowns. I think it went back to the time i went to the circus and a clown killed my dad.

Jack Handey had coulrophobia??

Everybody loves a clown, ain't that the sh*ts?
Everybody feels the pinch when inflation hits
We all laugh as the euro plummets
But you don’t laugh, at our Dresden summit
Everybody loves a clown, so why can’t you?
Just walk in my big shoes
I laugh about all the people who are going bust
But you don’t laugh, you just show us your disgust
If you wonder at my sad expression
Just hope you can weather this bad depression
It’s not easy, you see when you’re a clown like me.
I don’t know if I'll hold onto my job
I really don't wanna start to steal and rob
Yes, I’m a clown, and I've got laughter's power
Come take a sniff of my squirting flower
Guess I’ll be the guy with the matching set
Rubber nose and rubber checks

We gave up Captain Kangaroo for a fargin' purple dinosaur.
I highly recommend Brad Stine's "Barney vs. Captain Kangaroo." (It's on his "Wussification" CD.)
No wonder America's in the crapper.

DeathUnpleasantness to the fargin' purple dinosaur!Posted by: danceswithvowels | February 28, 2009 at 10:02 PM
A Parliament of Clowns? Yeah, what Dave said!

"Why is it that we will laugh at a man in a clown outfit, but we won't laugh at a man just walking down the street carrying a clown outfit in one of those plastic dry-cleaner bags?" Jack Handey

ain't life a b*tch?
not hardly to plan
some folks get bailouts
you can't afford Spam
send in the clowns
aren't germans fun?
weren't nazis whack?
goose-stepping from moscow
to paris, and back!
but now they've got clowns
so send in the clowns
just when you thought
you're gonna be broke
come some face-painted dudes
with their ancient jokes
wiping their a$$es with your 401(k)
bottom line is:
clowns can't save the day!
if you think guys
with big floopy shoes
need to be tested for the
existence of their i.q's
you must not like clowns
but they're with us, i fear!
Posted by: insomniac | February 28, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Except our clowns in Congress are like the scary ones that pop out from under the bed...{{{shutters}}}
Posted by: JustBnatral | February 28, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Hmmm. I was going to send a teabag to my Senator and Representative. Maybe I should send a red rubber nose, instead. Or both?

Bebe ReBozo HAD to be there, at least in spirit.
Posted by: SW | March 01, 2009 at 12:17 AM
Well, now that your pile's been erased
Come take a look in the Bundesrepublik
Cuz when it comes down to funding you
Yeah honey we've all gotten our butts kicked
But don't let this bad recession
Keep you in mental depression
Really be glad, oh be gladder than glad
Foreclosure ain't really that bad
Like a clown I think Ponzi's a fad
Now there's some dumb things known to man
But ain't too much dumber than
The smiles of a clown, when the pyramid goes down
Hum, oh yeah baby
