If Marshawn Lynch Was A Treesitter…
I tried reading this editorial in good humor, but then the writer started invoking Goodwin’s Law and my mind blanked out. Once someone analogizes Hitler massacring half of Europe to cutting down a bunch of old oak trees, you’re probably going to lose me.
Clearly this woman was speaking in some sort of nebulous third-world that [...]
Profiles in Courage: Meet the Berkeley Treesitters
When there were about forty of them, we couldn’t really describe them in great detail, but now their numbers are dwindling, I can provide now excellent and possibly fictitious descriptions of the remaining hippies in the trees. Since these treesitters have decided to adopt names that the Mole People would be embarrassed to utilize for [...]
SAHPC Ruling Links
See, people think that I have some issue with the treesitters being the ones holding up the athletic center. It doesn’t; it’s just a sideshow to the actual injunction. The thing’s going to get built. But the longer these people remain up here, the longer the football team has to endure the nonsense of these [...]

And Now You May Cringe
This treesitting farce and the comical way the UCPD has decided to combat this particular incidents (allowing hippies to intrude onto campus ground again and bang up their bongos to disturb the classrooms) makes me requestion our tactics in the war on terror. You know, waterboarding people with frayed ponytails and tye-dye shirts. I’m [...]
Beginning of the End?
While the slow, slowwww judicial process of stadium renovation continues, at least the disgusting sideshow seems to be dying down. Unfortunately, the pain itself is not completely over.
In what they said was an effort to clean up, police officials began removing some of the tree-sitters’ belongings from the Oak Grove at Memorial Stadium this [...]
Breaking News: Goodbye Treesitters, We Hardly Knew Ye
It looks like this gawkery will finally end before Homecoming.
An Alameda County judge ordered the tree sitters of Berkeley today to climb down from their leafy perches or face five days in jail.
Superior Court Judge Richard Keller granted a preliminary injunction requested by the UC Berkeley administration against the protesters, who are battling the university’s [...]
You Can Never Be Berkeley Enough
The annual bizarro festival celebrating the madness of Berkeley is this Sunday. This photoblog of 2004’s marching will hopefully deter you from going (Warning: NSFW, or life for that matter). [Zombietime]
It’s 9/11, A Somber Time For Reflection and …
…It was an Inside Job! INSIDE JOB DAMNIT!
Welcome to the Bay Area, where the crazy never ends.

The War Has Already Begun. And Ended.
The site of battle: The Oaks outside Memorial stadium. The soldiers at arms, seen here wearing traditional Haradin gear (either that or we’ve found our local terrorist cell) are already beginning their steadfast defense of their majesties of nature. Unfortunately for the bloodthirsty (seriously, I think their diet doesn’t contain enough iron, they desperately need [...]
