My Comp; 10:59 EST - DemocracyNow, absurdly far-left raido talk thingie, has decided to become DemocracySometimeLater.

"The Republican presence in the US is overwhelming," said one DN member known only as TRA. "We've decided to procrastinate enforcing our pseudo-democratic ideals on the already angered populus, thus we've decided to make our name sound more procrastinated [is that even a real word?] by tacking on SometimeLater"

Their switch from 'Now' to 'Sometime Later' is in part that nobody takes them seriously, (including me, the writer of this satire). So, they will wait until "sometime later" to protest the evil corporate facism of the government.

One crazed DN member said, "Bushs ancestors caused the earth to shift on its axis by trying to direct a ray from a giant crystal thru the center of the earths core."

A random person observed that DemocracySometimeLater can be abbreviated as 'DSL,' also a common connection to the internet. "Does that mean you will be providing bandwith free of charge, to undermime the greedy internet corporations of the world?" asked the person, only known as SP07.

DSL has made no comment on whether or not it will try to undermime corporate Net tyranny


This satire brought to you by me!

You know, why is it that Republicans eagerly bash upon the very few liberal radio station while ignoring the fact that the vast majority of radio stations are conservative? After all, one only needs to walk through a large city to see that. I can recall seeing an advertisement on one city bus in Denver for a radio station that said, "I stopped using shampoo. Why? Because it told me to apply liberally."
Let us have the few stations we have, please. >_>

C'mon, can't take a joke? And I'm not conservative - I'm libertarian

Well...I suppose it's one thing to have a joke; it's another to see it bashed everywhere. Forgive me for my rash reaction.
Though I should say this about libertarians: they, to me, seem to be completely hypocritical. I won't go into why though, because it's just my opinion and doesn't need to be explained or debated.

What the hell is the point of an organization called "DemocracyNow" in a country which already has democracy? It's like standing in the sea and demanding sea water. What's the point?

Why do people bash DemocracyNow? Well, it's retaliatory, of course. You see, how many times have we seen people bash right-wing radio on these forums? I definitely remember a thread that occured a few days ago, and it referred to hosts using plays upon their names. So maybe you should not sit around and act hurt because someone would joke about your radio station.

When I said what I said, I was referring to far more than the NationStates forums. >_>
And DemocracryNow is just a name they picked; I don't know why they called it that. They probably have their reasons listed on their website.

I was just using the nation states forum as a sample group.

I don't think everyone:

1) Understands satire
2) Knows the context it is being used in.

I liked it though.
