Capitol Shuffle: Government Building Morphs Into Giant Rubik's Cube, Lawmakers Left Scrambling
In an unprecedented twist of architectural fate, the National Capitol Building has inexplicably transformed overnight into a colossal, multicolored Rubik's Cube. Witnesses woke up to find the once-stately dome and columns replaced by a perplexing puzzle of rotating squares that no one seems capable of solving.
"At first, I thought it was a new modern art installation," said Senator Patty Twist, who admitted to spending her morning trying to align the blue and orange panels. "But then I realized I was stuck inside it. I guess this means filibustering is officially a physical activity now."
The President issued a statement from within a red corner block, saying, "We are treating this Rubik's Cube government building as a metaphor for the current state of politics—complex, confusing, and occasionally colorful. Our top scientists and puzzle enthusiasts are working round the clock to 'unscramble' the situation.'"
Political analysts speculate this transformation may be a symbolic reflection of legislative gridlock, although some conspiracy theorists suggest a secret society of speedcubers is behind the metamorphosis, aiming to test lawmakers’ problem-solving skills.
Meanwhile, citizens have adapted by holding town halls on each rotating face, making for ever-changing political views quite literally. Tourists are flocking to the site, eager to try their hand at turning the government to a more agreeable configuration.
As the building continues its endless twist and turn, one thing remains clear: politics has never been so puzzling, or so colorful. The only advice from officials? "Stay calm, and keep twisting. The solution might just be a turn away."
