THE COUNCIL CHAOS COORDINATOR, RAY PIERRE-DEWITT, REPORTS :
Readers may recall that some years ago a prominent public official announced his intention to “drain the swamp.” Most assumed this was a metaphor. The universe, however, appears to have taken the matter under advisement.
Following a series of contracts, coatings, algae blooms, maintenance decisions, and other routine achievements of advanced civilization, Washington’s Reflecting Pool gradually acquired many of the characteristics traditionally associated with an actual swamp. The situation eventually became persuasive enough that the pool itself had to be drained.
Whether this constitutes fulfillment of the original promise remains a matter of scholarly debate. The Council takes no official position. We merely note that the swamp in question proved difficult to locate. A substitute was eventually provided.
The cosmos, as always, declines comment—though many observers suspect it may be amused.
