Rodeo mask fracas silly

Wed., Aug. 28, 2013

It is with utter disbelief that I read of the rodeo clown who wore an Obama mask at the Missouri State Fair; not because the clown wore a mask, but because of all the uproar that followed. God forbid any bank robber choose to wear the facsimile of our current president.

Why, the feds might pull out all the stops in hunting down such a criminal and make sure he attends sensitivity training. Give me a break.
