Partly Facetious: The Comedy of Errors?

"It reminds me of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar."
"What reminds you of that play?"
"What's happening in the corridors of power!"
"Oh really! I would have thought Comedy of Errors is more reminiscent of what is happening in the Land of the Pure these days."
"How come?"
"Well, there are those who speak very loudly to drown out their opponents and the opponents have got together an impressive arsenal of microphones and so..."
"You being facetious?"
"Well, to me it is same o same, same o. Rail accidents are not accompanied by the resignation of the minister, the Prime Minister goes off to Karachi with his economic team in tow to negotiate with those who had indicated they would launch a country wide strike unless the government takes some mitigating measures but he succeeds in making them even more angry! Our local bread makers are threatening to raise the price because of the rise in the price of their inputs, mainly gas, and..."
"Local bread makers, I mean really!"
"Naan is not the same as bread you know so..."
"I see, but anyway I reckon its more Julius Caesar rather than Comedy of Errors because what is happening or may happen would be a tragedy not a comedy. Take our Caesar, The Khan, with the best will in the world he has been unable to control his extremely large cabinet and 10 percent reduction in their salaries, not to mention the free use of housing and electricity in the Minister's Enclave in Islamabad, may still be costing the taxpayers more than what it cost us to financially support previous cabinets."
"Maryam Nawaz said the Selected Prime Minister..."
"And she is certainly not Desdemona more like Calpurnia, Caesar's widow, because all the epithets she gave The Khan have not stuck and its Bilawal's nickname that has stuck and irritates The Khan. Anyway in your tragedy who is Brutus?"
"This is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. We don't have one Brutus we have...one two...seven...ten..."
"How many did you say?"
"I am still counting."
"Who is Cassius, the wily chief conspirator?"
"One...two...nine...eleven..."
"How many?"
"Still counting, mate."
"You are being facetious."
"Sadly not."
