“[P]eople sometimes ask why our comedy show is all politics now. I would argue that politics is all comedy now. The politics—we didn’t come to them, they came to us.”
—Jimmy Kimmel

The Ouroboros twists around
To swallow its own tail.
Our politics squirm on the ground;
How could they ever fail
To swallow their own rattles? Laugh,
To see the circle close;
But keep in hand a sturdy staff
To rap it on the nose.
