After cutting more than $20 million from the budget and trimming the city's workforce by 10 percent over the last four years, the Berkeley City Council unanimously approved a balanced budget Tuesday night without further reductions in city services or personnel.
. . . Finally, the council voted unanimously to place an advisory measure on the November ballot calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Arguing for the measure was Daniel Ellsberg, the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers, who answered the inevitable only-in-Berkeley arguments by asking, "If not here, where?"
The council also proclaimed Tuesday "Cindy Sheehan Day in the city of Berkeley," in honor of the anti-war activist who moved here last spring. Said Councilwoman Betty Olds, who sponsored the proclamation, "Berkeley is a better place to live now that Cindy Sheehan lives here."

Berzerkly -- one of the more notable multiple communist anuses of California. Is this crap any surprise?? Hardly.
Is Berkeley still around?
Can a country win a war while the enemy within undermines?
Dang, these RATS are sick. And looking more stupid every day.
I would, of course, want my son to get out of San Francisco in time, but maybe an 9.0 is the best thing that could happen to the Bay area.
I agree. Just make sure she doesn't leave.
There are some folks talking back to the commies in Berkeley -- as shown at Zombietime from a June 9 "bash Israel" event.
Yet?
I think they were the first.
Who is paying her rent?
I heard that North Korea's missiles can reach Berkeley.
That is all you ever need to know about Berkeley. They feel that they are better now that a mentally ill woman with media whore behavior has settled there.
I went to school with a woman who now lives in Berkeley. So, I admit that some of my opinion is colored by watching someone from a traditional, Southern, middle-class background move out there and:
1. Renounce her faith.
2. Give up her career to teach yoga workshops.
3. Renounce her parents - doesn't call, doesn't visit. Her kid brother was asking my former classmates if they had heard about her.
Freedom of choice means that people have every right to make stupid choices. From where I sit, the people of that humble lil town have made a series of stupid choices.
Probably the DNC?
Cindy Sheehan Day in the city of Berkeley," in honor of the anti-war activist who moved here last spring.
The folks in Vacaville must be ecstatic.
Can a country win a war while the enemy within undermines?

We can, especially if our spineless government would stand up and fight the treasonous commies in our midst. This includes the MSM, and for openers, the NYT should be investigated and prosecuted for willful exposure of classified information which aids and abets our enemies, then after the anti-American MSM is taken care of, we move to the ACLU.....etc, etc.
I don't know how sarcastic you're being, but it has those signs at the city limits. Locals have also discovered that you can spray-paint out the "Free" part, though.
This story doesn't mention that the measure will cost $10,000. I look forward to the protests when people realize that it's $10,000 that could've gone towards making Berkeley a "Sweat Free" city.
Forget Mexico...let's build a wall around Berkeley!
