I hate you. I want to get to work at a "normal" hour today. I also want to run before going to work. Sadly, because it's still dark outside, that's not going to happen.
OK. Fine. I'll run Tues/Thurs this week. I'll get my headlamp out today so that I can run in the dark tomorrow, I guess.
When I'm president, I shall eliminate you.
Curse you, DST. Curse you.

How about "satirical" and/or "whimsical"?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time
"During his time as an American envoy to France, Benjamin Franklin anonymously published a letter in 1784 suggesting that Parisians economize on candles by arising earlier to use morning sunlight.[13] Franklin's mild satire proposed taxing shutters, rationing candles, and waking the public by ringing church bells and firing cannons at sunrise, in the spirit of his earlier proverb "Early to bed and early to rise / Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."[14] Franklin did not propose shifting clocks; like ancient Rome, 18th-century Europe did not keep accurate schedules. However, this soon changed as rail and communication networks came to require a standardization of time unknown in Franklin's day.[15]

"The earliest known reference to the idea of daylight saving time comes from a purely whimsical 1784 essay by Benjamin Franklin, called "Turkey versus Eagle, McCauley is my Beagle." It was first seriously advocated by William Willit, a British Builder, in his pamphlet "Waste of Daylight" in 1907."
When I'm elected to Congress, I shall author the bill for you to sign.
