...hmmm....is Berkeley reconsidering or just trying to quibble their way out?

PS...check out the “comments” section at the end of the article....plenty of San Franciscans think Berkely is nuts too!
The Contra Costa Times, which is the biggest paper serving the East bay, although they do so under various names (San Ramon Times and others), wrote an editorial last week which was very much anti Berkeley, even using the term "Bizerkeley'.
There are a lot more good people in the Bay area then we are given credit for. But it is difficult to find us sometimes!

Too funny! Only an idiot would love to be hated.
