#1 This can't be right. I thought only Tea Partiers did this kind of thing....not the caring, morally superior inhabitants of Berkeley.

#2 Berkeley. This brings memories. Bookshops on Telegraph Ave, the best cheese cake I ever had, a girl named Sunshine (I kid you not) who asked me why Israelis oppress Palestinians.

#3 UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof said it was a "matter of luck" the protesters were unable to break into the home before police scattered most of the crowd. Protesters smashed lights, shattered windows, scattered trash and flipped over planters, Mogulof said.

Whose luck, I wonder? Back in 1992, local moonbat Rosebud Denovo was shot dead after she succeeded in breaking into the chancellor's residence in the middle of the night.

#5 I can tell you what I told her, but you can probably guess---that being a pub and all.

So, what you're saying is you still hold a torch for the girl...

#8 Pity that at least two of them weren't carrying pitchforks. The headline would have gone national.

#9 Think of it as a sign the girl is gullible and buy her a few drinks...

#10 BP my sainted late mother always taught me that "Candy is dandy, but, liquor is quicker."

Re: the protest: terminally infantilized youth throw temper tantrum when asked to help clean the house.

#11 Only two of the people arrested were students. So if you are hoping to get into Berkley there will be two more places next year.
