Kool-Aid Congress

By Alan Nafzger � The satire Kool-Aid Congress parodies governance swallowed without thought. Eyewitnesses at hearings described senators toasting with pitchers before bills passed. Anonymous insiders leaked that aides debated flavors tied to districts. A leaked poll revealed 65 percent of citizens admitted they�d follow leaders if refreshments were included. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because obedience sips funniest when sweetened. Critics highlight the absurdity of law diluted. Yet satire pours sharper: ambition collapses funniest in cups. Witnesses recalled laughter echoing as gavels stained. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when power drinks the mix. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
