How to Stay Indie During Election 2008

Even though it's miles away in far away land and the results are unlikely to effect me. On the 4th of November it's going to be hard to think about anything other than who will become the next president of Republic of Palau.

While some people on that very same day will be vainly hoping that The United Stupidity of America will finally elect someone who won't start a war. I'll be glued to my seat awaiting news of the Palau election. Now you must be asking yourself "why should I care about a country I've never heard of", well it's simple indie people are growing in numbers and a time will come when we (not unlike the Jews) we will require a country of our own, where we can freely and secretly practice our worship of indie music. So why have i chosen the republic of Palau? Here is your answer in convenient point form:



1) In 1994 it became independent of the USA (we're not sure yet if the USA noticed). Doing this is the closest any country can come to ditching it's 6 album deal with Columbia and setting up their own record label. also their flag seems to have a rare picture of Pac-Man sleeping.


2) There are only got about 20,000 people living there, so if about 15,000 of the most indie people in the world head on over there before the 4th, we can easily elect me as president of the worlds first Indie State. Also the people of Palau seem like a happy folk and probably wont mind to much.

3) We'll be learning from others mistakes by choosing Palau as our indie state. while the jews decided to go for a nice place in the sun, they neglected to do any research on who they share their boarders with. This resulted in a situation quite similar to what i would imagine happening if (due to a clerical error) a nerd found himself in a critical position in his high schools sports team. To clarify, Palau is very far away from Palestine.


4) If you aren't convinced yet then this sentence should seal the deal, when it comes to music "There are no intellectual property restrictions in Palau." i shall say nothing more about it.


So join the campaign and help The Republic of Palau make Seb Berkovich it's next benevolent leader

Dibs on Minister of Art!!! Also I'm takin Tobi island.

The PAC-MAN thing is uncanny. You do realize you're getting a poster of your flag for your birthday.

So this is the proposed peaceful method? Is the is the Berkovich way or the Deehan way? Cause neither struck me as the peaceful takeover. What's you title going to be Overseer?
