U.S. — The liberal comedy scene weathered a challenging week after Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert had their monthly cycles sync up.

While both Kimmel and Colbert have long been prone to weepy, emotional outbursts and fits of rage, it is believed that this is the first time their cycles have become perfectly synchronized.

"This is terrifying," said local liberal Tina Lowe, as she watched both men scream and cry into the camera. "The waterfall of tears, the big feelings. Even for me, it's a little much."

According to sources, prescription-strength Midol was simply no match for the two men's monthly cycles. "No medicine wrought by man could contain the horror of Kimmel and Colbert synced up," said a production assistant. "We're trying to going through Kleenex like candy. We've got them together watching 10 Things I Hate About You, hoping it will buy us a little peace. We just have to ride out the storm."

At publishing time, disaster had struck after Jim Gaffifan's cycle had also synced up to the other two.
