Many people feel the battle over the Florida vote has begun to resemble a three-ring circus.
Florida happens to be the winter home of many carnivals and circuses, and the folks there are taking offense at that comparison. The sideshow stars of Gibsonton, Fla., are all but gone. For the most part, all that remains are the memories of the Half Girl, the Human Seal and Lobster Boy. Fifty years ago, folks who made their living as sideshow attractions spent the winter months in this seaside town just outside Tampa. Back then, folks wouldn't bat an eye when a bearded lady, hermaphrodite, or three-legged man ambled down the street.
