For the most part, we like to remember last year fondly. The economy wasn’t quite so far down the pisser, the tree-sitters were over by the stadium, throwing fecal matter at people and generally doing what they did, Code Pink was constantly coming up with new ways to be ridiculous … Life was pretty good and we don’t want to complain.
However, that being said, there was one thing from last year we’d kind of hoped we wouldn’t be reminded of ever again (except for, you know, every single solitary time we step onto campus). That was the sudden appearance of these. read more »
Well, who didn’t see this one coming?

Earlier today, we were wandering around campus when we inadvertently stumbled upon the Campaign for Berkeley’s kick-off music festival and picnic. Oddly enough, we had no idea it was happening.
The only things that actually tipped us off to the shameless pandering going on were the fact that Chancellor Birgeneau was sitting right there, and a few of those mildly horrible “inspirational” banners greeted us–from ground level. They were totally all up in our grills. read more »
