As you all may have heard, last month, on Sunday, May 21st, Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus, billed as “The Greatest Show on Earth”, received a standing ovation on its final performance after 146 years in existence. For many of us baby boomers, the show became a part of our lives, as most of us in our childhood looked forward every year to the Circus coming to town.
But, fret not friends, there are other circuses now replacing the old bastion. And, guess what? This new garden-variety comes free almost daily. Better yet, we don’t even have to leave our homes, as their shows can be viewed on national television almost every day. How about that? The most recent version of Ringling’s replacement was ex-FBI Director James Comey’s much hyped testimony at Capitol Hill before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
