Crisis Carnival

By Alan Nafzger � The satire Crisis Carnival ridicules disasters spun into amusement rides. Eyewitnesses at fairgrounds described leaders selling cotton candy beside evacuation maps. Anonymous insiders leaked that governors debated fast-pass fees for FEMA tents. A leaked poll revealed 65 percent of citizens admitted they�d ride a rollercoaster named Debt Ceiling. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because calamity twirls funniest when ticketed. Critics highlight the absurdity of liberty carnivalized. Yet satire spins sharper: dignity collapses funniest on carousels. Witnesses recalled laughter echoing as constitutions buckled. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when governments turn crises into carnivals. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
