Yulia Timoshenko (her personal website) is the new premier of Ukraine (bio). She is the hippest politician I've ever laid my eyes on. Here is a picture of her giving a speech to the Ukrainian parliament when it approved her nomination to the premiership. Here's another picture of her being insufferably hip. Russia has issued an international arrest warrant for her through Interpol, but who cares when she's this cool? Don't you wish you had politicians who dressed like that? Strike that. Don't you wish you had politicians who could dress like that?

Town Sold On eBay Finally Sold For
Real... But Not On eBay

Town Sold On eBay Finally Sold For
Real... But Not On eBay 05/21/2004 02:35 AM
Back in 2002 there was a tremendous amount of hype when Bridgeville, the small (mostly deserted) California town was put up for sale on eBay. It eventually sold in an auction for $1.8 million - and got a tremendous amount of press attention. The only problem: the $1.8 million bid was a hoax. A whole year went by and the owners of the "town" sheepishly admitted that the buyer (and his money) never showed up. Now, however, the town has been sold again - but not on eBay, and back down at its original asking price of $700,000. Even with the failure of the actual sale to go through, though, people still remember that you can "sell a town on eBay," contributing to the use of eBay as a PR platform beyond just its ability to match buyers and sellers.

It works for the Patrician, why not for us? Diebold's been in the news again, this time because the most recent California election (and Terminator references aren't really appropriate -- it seems more like something out of a Phillip K. Dick novel) that used machines whose software wasn't certified by the state elections board. (Most, but not all, of the machines met the federal standards, but that doesn't really matter as it wasn't a federal election. The state wins here) Including LA county, which last I heard has just a few people living in it. LA's machines were neither state...

Wizbang, a blog started by Kevin Aylward in April, is running a "Best Weblogs" contest — wouldn't you if your last name were "Award" with an extra YL added? — that, through a set of spelling errors and typos, nominates Joho as best overall blog. I assume they meant "Best All-Over Blog." On the other hand, Joho is 20th out of 20 (11 votes as opposed to Little Green Footballs at #1 with 2,435 and kottke.org at #2 with 1,972) , so there is some justice.

Looks like a minority liberal government for Canada. The entire process will have been completed in a single day. The voters used pencils to mark X's on paper ballots, which were stuffed into ballot boxes then counted by hand. Despite the differences in population, is there a lesson here for our southern neighbours?

I live in the 12th Congressional District in California. We're a pretty sensible (you might call us liberal) bunch. Over 80% oppose the war. Almost 70% oppose the "Patriot Act." Yet our Congressman -- a wonderful and amazing figure, Tom Lantos -- doesn't vote the way his district thinks. He has supported the war. He has supported the Patriot Act. I haven't done this before, and I'm not going to do this much again, but this gap between who we are and how we are represented has led me to help Congressman Lantos' opponent -- Ro Khanna. Ro's a bright, young, committed Democrat, committed to representing the views of his district. He's got a blog. And a friend and I are going to have a party for him at my house on February 9. If you'd like to come, send an email.

Canada considers electoral reform. The Law Commission of Canada just released a report that recomended a Mixed Member Proportional system much like that one that New Zealand recently adopted. Along with the steps being taken at the federal level, the provinces are at various stages in the process. The government in Quebec has proposed a similar MMP system for the province, a commission in PEI recomended the same system, BC has convened a Citizens Assembly, Ontario now has a Democrati c Renewal Secretariat, and Saskatchewan and New Brunswick are considering changes as well.

I got two turntables and a right to vote

I got two turntables and a right to vote 06/28/2004 12:19 AM
My DJ buddy Michael Donaldson, aka Q-Burns Abstract Message, pauses his world tour for a show in L.A. this Wednesday -- catch it! -- and shares word on a project he's organizing with fellow turntablists and fans thereof:

As you know I'm politically concerned... I've been trying to figure out how, in my pseudo-lofty position of DJ dude, I can make some difference. After much thought, I've come up with an idea.

I've collaborated with my friend Laurin Fedora to come up with a t-shirt design -- basically the word "VOTE!" in a replicated stencil. I'm having a number of these shirts made in different color combinations and then will wear one at each of my US DJ gigs from August until the election. I will also have photos of myself wearing a shirt on my web site (along with a concept explanation) and in any pictures that are used for magazines/flyers/etc.

The idea is this: I know that the age demographic that I am mainly playing to (people in their 20's) are traditionally the ones that do not vote. This is a shame as the actions of the current administration will resonate strongly in their futures. I don't know if wearing a t-shirt with this design at my gigs will inspire any of these potential voters, but I can hope and have some optimism. Perhaps seeing a DJ in the supposedly apolitical world of dance music caring enough to send a message will inspire a few people.... I wanted to keep the message non-partisan... the simple message of 'VOTE!' also states my feelings accurately: if more of us voted, then maybe we will find more candidates who truly represent us.

I'm wondering if you'd like a piece of the action. Laurin is offering to make more of these shirts. Would you like one (or more than one in different colors)? (...) Laurin has donated his time to help me with this. I'm paying for the materials for the shirts that he's making for me. If you'd like a shirt or shirts, I would need you to pay for the cost of the materials as well. It's not much ... just the price of the shirt and an extra buck for the ink and screening. Let me know as soon as possible if you'd be interested in this as Laurin wants to screen a bunch in the next day or two.

If you're interested, e-mail Mr. Q-Burns at this Link. Send name, e-mail address, shirt size, and color preference -- someone will respond with cost, payment, and shipping details.

For the love of God, please vote

For the love of God, please vote 09/07/2004 01:38 AM

I've never been a spectacular history student, but I did enjoy a civics course during my senior year of high school. After learning the basics of our gov't, I counted the days until I turned 18 and could register to vote. I happily voted in local races that first November and have voted every chance I've gotten since then. Back when Clinton was running for his first presidency, I recall getting into arguments with folks, insisting that every young person was like me, and I predicted 50% of the youth would vote (I can't remember the exact numbers, but I'm pretty sure I was way off).

Of course, back then, you had to look up the local registrar, call them, then cut classes or work to show up and fill out the registration paperwork. These days you can register from the comfort of your keyboard, at any time of the day or night.

If you're not currently registered to vote, I don't know what perfect phrase I can add here to get you involved. Personally, I feel it's the backbone of our nation and without anyone voting, democracy breaks down. Every year I read my little voter info packets that come in the mail, I do some research online, and I vote after weighing the options. It doesn't matter if I'm pleased with my representitives or not, I vote every chance I get.

The last few elections have had abysmal turnouts and when the voting for a single week's American Idol approached the number of folks that voted in the last presidential election, I knew something had to be done to coax more folks into it. This year, please take advantage of your right to vote. It's one of your only chances to participate in this democracy.

The guys behind HotOrNot are upping the ante and giving away $100,000 to someone that registers to vote at their site (and if you win off that link, I get $100k too). I'm amazed Jim and James are ponying up the dough, but I hope it has an effect and gets more people involved and voting.

So if you're not registered, please, for the love of God, Country, and (in this case) Money, register to vote already!
