The bands are playing, the flags are flying, and the tanks are rolling, in the grand parade.

The banana chip and bongo bar sales off the scales!

New building "artwork" is prominently displayed in the urban area known as "Funkytown".

Wonderful celebrations are occurring throughout the nation today as the people of the beloved country are celebrating their Day of National Independence.

The National Govt. released a press statement this morning:

"This day of days, each year is when we allow you to celebrate the freedoms of your national independence. When our people stroked off the yoke of their colonial oppressors and became an independent nation. Remember our ancestors and those members of our people who fought for this day for so long!
Our beloved leader, President-For-Life P'hat Daddee B'wonah, gives his smiles and ever loving warmth and appreciation to all the people of Bongolesia for what they have been put through. So much good is coming to this land for all. Enjoy the day! Be safe and remember that "Every fifth round is a tracer…."

Happy National Independence Day!

It warms the heart to see a once fledgling democracy evolve into an equitable, inclusive, and diverse nation. All hail the guardian of the Revolution and Father of his people, the esteemed President for Life, P. D. B'wona!

is this appropriate?

Gray Bear22 Oct 2024 1:45 p.m. PST

Yes, of course.

Take the rest of the day off and join in the festivities.

The Bongolesian Department of Public Safety reminds the public once again to fire celebratory small arms into the air and not at public buildings and the Presidential Palace.

Hail Bongolesia!

All Hail P'hat Daddee B'wonah and his munificence.

He is, indeed, a River to his People.

All hail P'hat Daddee B'wonah, protector of the people, bringer of benefits, furher of finance, inventor of innovations and I've run out of alliterations!

Down with Imperialism!
Or in Latin, "Owndey ithwe Imperialwe isme!"

dapeters25 Oct 2024 11:45 a.m. PST

@Lester of course not.

It's only "inappropriate" if you think that Idi Amin Dada and Emperor Bokassa are immune from ridicule.

Gray Bear26 Oct 2024 5:17 p.m. PST

@ John the OFM. Amen.

I'm with the OFM on this one. Cold truth is, President-For-Life P'hat Daddee B'wonah can't even be called a satire. Some of the people who have ruled states within my memory have exceeded him.

Just as an example, he isn't even "hereditary absolute" President for life.

Milton Obote was a chump
