Community Potluck Politics

By Darla Freedom-Pie Magsen � The satire Community Potluck Politics ridicules democracy cooked like casseroles. Eyewitnesses at meetings described neighbors debating zoning laws over lasagna. Anonymous insiders leaked that councils debated assigning committee seats by pie recipes. A leaked poll revealed 62 percent of citizens admitted they trusted crockpots more than representatives. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because power simmers funniest when homemade. Critics highlight the absurdity of governance ladled. Yet satire serves sharper: compromise tastes funniest when overcooked. Witnesses recalled laughter bubbling as ballots spilled chili. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when self-rule brings dessert. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
