So a sinkhole opened up on the White House lawn. I originally didn’t even read the first article I saw about it, because I thought it was a satire article. Like, it’s such a symbolic thing to happen, and I just assumed it couldn’t be real. Then ABC and NBC and literally every news outlet reported on it and I realized that life has just taken to delivering real life punchlines now. Worse than that, it’s been said that the sinkhole was caused by “Swampy conditions.” SERIOUSLY!? I didn’t even have to write that! It was just there! The person who said truth is stranger than fiction couldn’t even fathom this level of irony and inherent comedic value. The only thing missing from the story was people reporting seeing lava or demons in the sinkhole.
