Mine. This one.

It's a comment I wrote yesterday in typically overly-long, self-important, arrogant and rude manner. It was motivated by 2 things: (1) an unusually powerful comment to me, and (2) a more practical matter: I was tired of seeing my last previous diary staring at me those occasional times when I am checking my Comments for latest HRs. In particular, it is a visually offensive assault on my senses to see Pelosi's face, even in cartoon form, bugging out at me. (She is my U.S. Congressional Representative and I don't have any respect for her because she does not represent my liberal philosophy).

Thus, a replacement was overdue.

Newest political art by the incomparable Zina Saunders. She is someone to bookmark or subscribe to. There's no one working today who spills into so many ranges of political expression, with such beautiful illustrations.

You'll recognize some of her works below the fold.

The first thing that "got" me interested in Obama, back early in the primary process when I was not particularly engaged by him, was his concept he called "Google for Government". And the promise that if he became President he would use the web to bring to light for the average citizen all the processes of government, opening them up to full transparency.

And we've now seen a first instance of this in the transition-initiative website change.gov . In diaries here since the election I see people excitedly suggesting we post our ideas for change over at ... change.gov.

Barack Obama wants us to submit our ideas over the website change.gov

That one was written in the Regional Train System diary yesterday. Now I have no doubt that Barack Obama truly sees this change.gov website as a viable next-generation toolset to help involve citizens in the governmental processes. And it most certainly should be. I also see that it could very well transform our entire at-arms-length/ go-between Representative Democracy into something more closely resembling direct democracy, at least in parts.

But, like Jack Cafferty, here's the question:

Number them 1 through 28. (29 is a bonus)

Identify each.

Explain the rationale for why they each item was added.

UPDATED DIARY - beginning now with Mark Klein, the AT&T whistleblower, explaining why there should be no retroactive immunity.

On the flip, Russ Feingold, Chris Dodd & others speak FOR and against retroactive immunity -- and on the dangerous flaws of the various versions of the revisions to the FISA law.

I subscribe to lots of YouTube channels, and now follow those more closely than text topics at DailyKos. I'm just posting two stories worth seeing.

(1) Jesse Ventura might run for the United States Senate and is running strong in Minnesota.

This worries me. I'd thought, back when Al announced his run for Senate, that he'd win it handily. I don't know why, I just did.

According to reports today from Ars Technica and earlier Jan 2008 stories from http://www.dslreports.com/...,
Time Warner's "Road Runner" cable web access will soon be changing their pricing model.

The lowest level of service is a 768Kbps connection with a 5GB cap for $29.95 per month. The high-end package will offer 15MBps with a 40GB cap for $54.90 per month. Consumers will pay by the gigabyte for consumption in excess of the established caps. Customers will be able to see how much bandwidth they have left by visiting the Time Warner Cable web site.

UPDATE 3: 6/3/08: comment, from the user crumb:
This is not a Network Neutrality Issue!

Speaking in London to the Associated Press, Jimmy Carter says by the end of the June 3rd primary, most superdelegates, like himself, will be announcing their decision for the Democratic nominee for President. ... Asked by a reporter:

"Is Mrs. Clinton achieving anything by staying in the race?"

Carter responds:

"I think not.

Of course she has a perfect right to do so. ... I'm a superdelegate, having been President before, and I think a lot of the superdelegates will make a decision -- announced quite rapidly after the final primary on June the 3rd. ...

I think at that point it'll be time.

That would be Episode 5 of Season 4, titled "The Constant".

With the utmost of respect and admiration for dK's own Jeff Lieber, first writer and creator of this outstanding television series -- whose original storyline was changed dramatically and revamped with a new team ABC selected to develop it further, leaving Jeff uninvolved in the subsequent series that's aired to date, I just have to say that notwithstanding that whole authorship complexity, I think LOST is the finest novel ever translated to celluloid, regardless of whether distributed on TV or on a theatrical screen.

Only it wasn't a novel. It's one of the most complex character puzzles I have ever seen, in any media form. It has had an exquisite structure, character-driven writing, and plotting that -- well -- crosses multiple dimensions.

This diary is comprised of just a comparison between 04 and 08 -- and CNN's role in marginalizing and derailing candidates, for purposes of controlling the narrative for America and removing unwanted voices from access to living rooms in America. Lest people take in candidates on their own terms, without pre-packaging by Conglomerate Media Cartel, who send down their marching orders: Threaten to re-regulate & limit media consolidation, and you're filtered out.
