Attempted Terror

I'm sure you've seen:

Police thwarted an apparent terror attack Friday near the famed Piccadilly Circus in the heart of London, defusing a bomb made of a lethal mix of gasoline, propane gas, and nails after an ambulance crew spotted smoke coming from a silver Mercedes outside a nightclub.

OK, apart from the question of why George Bush would do this now, so far away from the election, you also have to wonder why they call this a circus. I mean, I've been there and as circuses go, I have to say I was disappointed. Mexican border towns have better circuses than this.
