If there was a clown it surely was Hamsun, internationally renown bigot 
sympathizing the the nazi party prticularly its leader quisling ("my man" as 
hes called) and convicted for treason. on 7th may 1945 hmsun got published a 
eulogy to hitler (the "arrior, preacher of gospel of justice and reformist") 
where he declared his intention to -- in the face of hitler's dstiny -- to bow 
his head. the article was published in the collborationist -- now norway's 
second largest nd considered most objectively truthful -- paper aftenposten.

hamsun now has his own museum at hamarøy, vocal spokepersons across the globe 
and an dedicated readership. even clowns get dressed in ways that can fool 
supposedly intelligent people. 

here's a case where perhaps the logic of postponement is not required.
