The Berkeley City Council has passed several resolutions denouncing the “barbarity” of the USMC recruiting office in their rather ridiculous city, as well as encouraging Code Pink to protest it regularly (including giving CP reserved parking in front of the Marine office). Big Dog argues for an American boycott of Berkeley as retaliation. I thought about joining in, but realized my budget for patchouli scented hemp oil peace vigil candles was already at zero.

I liked visiting Berkeley when we lived just north of there. It’s nasty to drive in but has lots of neat stuff. I bought all four of my snakes at the Vivarium which is the best herp pet store ever. Usually we’d drive around the back way and go to the Botanical Garden.
The City Council and the University, OTOH. Oy. I think that most of the residents sort of ignore it all.
If we still lived there I’d seriously consider counter protesting with a big sign that said, “Is Code Pink Yo’ Mama?”
(Or maybe I’d spell “your” properly, just to play it safe.)
