Only in Berkeley

Having failed in recent years to impeach President Bush and stop the war in Afghanistan, members of the Berkeley City Council approved a resolution that encourages people to nonviolently "impede, passively or actively," the work of Marine recruiters. To that end, the council awarded the group, Code Pink (you remember them they are the bad ass bitches who accosted Condi with bloody hands last year), exclusive use of the parking spot for for four hours one afternoon each week, for the next six months, to stage its protests. In taking on the Marines, the council also directed the city attorney to investigate legal means of ousting the recruiting station, calling the Marines "uninvited and unwelcome intruders."
