January 6 Committee Feels the Storytelling Pressure

I have felt for the longest time that America has begun to feel like a never-ending reenactment of Monty Python's classic sketch, "The Argument Clinic." The premise of the 1970 sketch is that there might actually be people who are simply looking for an argument and are willing to pay a pro to deliver one. Michael Palin and John Cleese expertly show how frustrating a so-called argument can be when contradiction is its only feature. First of all, the sketch is hilarious, but importantly today, it foreshadowed social media and contemporary politics fifty years ahead of its time.
