No kidding…
(CNSNews.com) – The federal government is funding a clown school located in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco-based congressional district that has classes and workshops on “Precision Idiocy” and how to act like a “Buffoon.”
The school, which is called the “Clown Conservatory” and is part of the nonprofit Circus Center, received a $10,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for the period that runs from June 2017 through May 2018.
The center says that the Clown Conservatory is “the United States’ only professional training program for clowns and physical comedians.”
“Clown Conservatory is a multidisciplinary training program in physical comedy, precision idiocy and eccentric acting,” says the school’s brochure.
“Our program’s directive,” it says, “is to foster the super-versatile Human Cartoon.”
The organization’s website lists classes and workshops that include “Character Morphing,” “Buffoon,” and “Precision Idiocy: Micro-Crafting Physical Comedy.”
The summary of the grant published by the NEA says: “The training will help prepare artists to meet the demands of today’s international circus, film, and theater job market.” MORE HERE
Well, if it’s gotta exist, I can’t think of a better place for it.
And here all this time I was certain it was located in Washington DC.
Learn something new everyday.
Couldn’t they just watch C Span?
Required certified training for Democratic candidates.
Just one more reason to shut off the Federal spigot to California!

Now they’re coming up with new ways to make us pay for their idiocy? Wow.
My mom is a certified clown and so is our friend Cindy.
Cindy was also a tenured professor at Harvard soooooooo…..
There are obviously enough clowns coming out of San Francisco, just look at congress. It would be interesting to see if how many politicians have graduated with honors from this institution. Maxine Waters and nasty belagosi must have PhD’s. Go ahead and endow them with ten K, it’s worth it just for the laughs.
Nancy P. Had to buy the clown vote?
So, that’s where they train politicians.
Graduating from that school sure helped Piglosi to make a lot of money! What a great credential for a congressman-“graduated magna cum laude from clown school”!
I thought that the clown school was located in Washington D.C. and called “Congress.”
Just sayin’.
But some of the kids can read,write.
Who the hell reviews the NEA Grants? Wouldn’t it make sense for an elected official (or a group) to review requests? It’s taxpayor money or don’t they care anymore.
Clearly those who graduate from this institution will not have a salary high enough to repay student loans, so let’s simply subsidize the entire situaton, making it easier for these clowns in the long run.
I’m starting to get the notion that San Francisco might be mismanaging their spending.
Nancy’s not just the Congresscritter of the district, she’s a certifiable clown instructor!
Better to have professional clowns the the ones in the DNC/RNC.
Nancy and Max…………co-valedictorians.
