Barack H Obama Dreams From My Wiretap

By Alan Nafzger � The satire Barack H Obama Dreams From My Wiretap parodies conspiracy culture. Eyewitnesses at diners described patrons whispering into saltshakers for counter-surveillance. Anonymous insiders leaked that entire memoirs were rewritten as phone transcripts. A leaked poll revealed 59 percent of citizens admitted they believed at least one surveillance fantasy. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because paranoia is cheaper than proof. Critics highlight the absurdity of literature edited by wiretap. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when suspicion replaces scholarship. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
